| The Hotel Majestic was constructed in 1902 as the private residence of Milton Schmidt, a turn of the century railroad magnate and member of the California State Legislature. Two years later, in 1904, Senator Schmidt moved on and the building became the Hotel Majestic. Two years after that, the Great Earthquake of 1906 struck. The terrible fires that ravaged the city halted at Van Ness Avenue, two blocks from The Majestic. This stroke of luck has made The Majestic San Francisco's oldest continually operating hotel. Throughout the years, The Majestic has been a refuge from the bustle of Union Square and the Financial District, offering travelers sanctuary in the quiet of a Pacific Heights neighborhood. Over the years as San Francisco has changed, The Majestic has kept pace but never lost sight of its unique architectural heritage and Edwardian ambiance. | ||||||||||||
