In this seventh in the columns on great hotels, the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco comes to mind as an unforgettable place. It’s still rated a 5-star hotel, as it was back then. A year ago, I wrote about a working trip to San Francisco and briefly mentioned staying at the Fairmont Hotel, but this grand hotel deserves more than just a mention. I was there in about 2000 working a trade show. In my column on San Francisco last year, I wrote it was the NAFEM (North American Association of Food Equipment Manufacturing) show but in researching, I found the NAFEM show is held every other year in odd-number years. It was in Dallas in 1999 and in Orlando in 2001, so it was some other show at the Moscone Convention Center in 2000 that took me there. I don’t recall which show, I was just glad to be there as I had never been to San Francisco before.
