Celebrate the Holidays at
Fairmont San Francisco
For more than a century, Fairmont San Francisco has enchanted guests with its joyful holiday festivities and exuberant seasonal ambience. From our life-sized Gingerbread House and Holiday Tea to staying in Santa’s very own Suite, we have something for everyone to cheer.

Holiday Tea & Santa Tea
The winter season is not complete without a celebration of tradition and magic with Fairmont San Francisco’s Holiday Tea. Enjoy the ambiance of Laurel Court’s sophisticated charm with family and friends over steaming pots of fine loose-leaf tea and house-made scones, tea sandwiches, luscious pastries and sweets. Keep holiday traditions flourishing or make new memories to cherish for years to come. Don’t miss the special Santa Tea experiences dates if you want to book a time to sip tea with St. Nick.

Santa Suites
There’s no place like Fairmont San Francisco for the Holiday. Check in and check our Santa and Mrs. Clause’s home away from home. Stay in one of two suite designs from sophisticated holiday décor to whimsical winter wonderland that all ages of the family will enjoy.
If the Santa Suites isn’t on your list this year, don’t fret, you can book a room with valet parking and still take on the festivities of the season.

Gingerbread House
Holiday magic comes to life with our annual life-sized Gingerbread House on display through the New Year. With hundreds of bricks of real gingerbread baked by our pastry team and pounds of See’s Candies, our Gingerbread House display brings out the kid in everyone. Looking for a special treat? Book a dining experience inside the private Gingerbread for up to 8 guests and take in the scents and sounds of the holiday season.
Join us for our Gingerbread House opening on Saturday, November 22.
