St. Gregory Hotel - Luxurious hotel on the drama HOTEL/ABC/1983-88. Located in San Francisco, the St. Gregory Hotel featured large open lobbies, beautiful marble columns and a variety of expensive amenities. Staff included Victoria Cabot (Anne Baxter) a wealthy woman who oversaw the hotel's operation for her sister, Laura Trent (Betty Davis-seen only in the first episode); Peter McDermott (James Brolin), the hotel's handsome general manager; Christine Francis (Connie Sellecca), his beautiful assistant who fell in love with Peter later in the series; Mark Danning, the hotel's public relations officer; Billy Griffin (Nathan Cook), the hotel security director; Julie Gillette (Shari Belafonte-Harper), information center hostess; Dave Kendall (Michael Spound), the bellhop and his wife, Megan Kendall (Heidi Bohay), a desk clerk. The real hotel that served as model for the ABC series (a sort of LOVE BOAT on land) was the Plush Fairmont Hotel at 950 Mason Street (on Nob Hill) in San Francisco, California. The hotel was originally built in 1902 by Herman Oelrichs. It was damaged in the earthquake of April 18, 1906 and reopened in 1907. Exterior scenes of the Fairmont were used for establishing shots for the series and a large replica of the Hotel's plush lobby was recreated for shooting interior scenes.
