The Fairmont San Francisco is celebrating one of its most iconic guests, Tony Bennett, with a special suite dedicated to him and his unique place in the hotel’s storied history.   The Fairmont San Francisco’s famed Diplomat Suite, Bennett’s favorite “home away from home” suite, will now be dedicated to giving guests a one-of-a kind opportunity to experience luxurious accommodations characterized by elegant décor inspired by the world-renowned performer and his connection to the City by the Bay.   A just released new giclée print of one of Bennett’s original paintings entitled “Golden Gate Bridge” will be launched during the anniversary weekend and will be available for purchase exclusively in San Francisco at The Fairmont San Francisco’s Front Desk as well as through www.tonybennett.com.

In December 1961, Tony Bennett took the stage of The Fairmont San Francisco’s famed Venetian Room and performed his version of “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” for the first time. His lauded rendition of the beloved song has generated worldwide adoration and nostalgia for the city and is one of its official anthems.
