Occidental Hotel
1861 – 1906
The Occidental Hotel opened in 1861 in San Francisco, California. It was destroyed in the San Francisco earthquake and subsequent fire of 1906. It was one of the many hotels named Occidental in the United States, and it was among the few luxury hotels in San Francisco that catered to wealthy travelers.
Why it's on the map
It was destroyed in the San Francisco earthquake and subsequent fire of 1906.
The ensuing fire that destroyed much of San Francisco also claimed the Occidental, and the remaining structure soon was demolished.
Construction of the hotel occurred in three stages between 1861 and 1869, and it opened upon completion of the first section on the southeast corner of Montgomery and Bush Streets, under the direction of architect Caleb Hyatt.
Newly built, only a portion of the intended edifice completed, and the grand staircase not yet opened, the Occidental is but an incomplete sample of that which it is intended to be.
