A landmark in San Francisco since its debut in 1875, Palace Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Francisco was the first luxury hotel in the city and, at the time, was the largest in the world. After the hotel was decimated by the fires from the 1906 earthquake, the revitalized property opened its doors in 1909 with state-of-the-art facilities and architectural details that brought a new sense of style and opulence to San Francisco and marked a significant milestone in American hospitality.
One hundred and fifty years later, the historic hotel is not only a landmark itself but also serves as the perfect starting point for an enchanting and immersive city experience. With Signature Afternoon Tea, a museum delineating the hotel’s storied history, a heated indoor pool, and one of the most celebrated cocktail destinations in San Francisco, the property is replete with options that will satisfy varying appetites, from young to seasoned travelers well-accustomed to luxury.
Similarly, the story of the Napa Valley Railroad, where the Napa Valley Wine Train travels every day, is over 175 years old and has a rich history of resilience and transformation from the gold rush and wealthy citizens of early California to the inaugural Wine Train voyage.
Today, the Napa Valley Wine Train is one of the few active historic passenger railroads in the United States, featuring antique Pullman rail cars faithfully restored with Honduran mahogany paneling, brass accents, etched glass partitions and plush armchairs that evoke the spirit of luxury rail travel at the beginning of the 20th century. The Napa Valley Wine Train journey offers guests an engaging and memorable experience with fine dining service, multi-course meals cooked to order, and tastings at Napa Valley’s acclaimed wineries, while rolling past magnificent vineyards and stunning scenery.
The starting price for the Heritage Route Package is $2,379 for two people. Must be 21 or older to participate. For more information and bookings, please visit SFPalace.com/offers/.
