Palace Hotel Question
Author Last Post
Good Morning SFTGG Guides,
I’ve guided small 
tour groups thru the first floor public rooms of the Palace Hotel including the Garden Court,
on a number of occasions,
all w/o prior notification of hotel management, 
and never had a problem.
Remember when 
Blum’s Ice Cream Parlor was in the NE corner of the first floor of the hotel.
Blum’s is gone,
That’s bad.
And remember when the Palace had a huge hideous illuminated sign on the roof that reminded us all, 
24/7, 
that the Palace was part of the Sheraton chain.
It’s also gone,
And that’s good.

Happy Friday the 13th to you all,

Best,
Bob

I would suggest you contact the hotel https://www.sfpalace.com/contact/ and ask when it might be possible to bring a group into the foyer to look at the architecture, and that you won't bring them into the dining area.
