review: The Palace is a beautiful old hotel on Market Street. The building is one of the few that survived the earthquake and fire and it has all of the touches from that period that you do not see in modern hotels: high ceilings, crown moulding, wide hallways with large wooden doors, large rooms, and a gorgeous and ornate dining room with a glass ceiling. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Service is crisp. The hotel is centrally located and within a 10 minute walk of the Embarcadero, Union Square, etc.Having said that, the hotel and the restaurant are very expensive. Parking is nearly $50 a night, and the local San Francisco taxes add a substantial amount to your bill.
question: How important is this hotel in the city?
