Room of the Dons

The 2,109 sq. ft. Room of the Dons is one of the Mark Hopkins Hotel’s artistic and architectural treasures, with some of the finest being the nine murals depicting early California in the Room of the Dons. These nine murals by Frank van Sloun and Maynard Dixon portray scenes in a rich medley of reds, blues, and browns against a background of gold leaf. These paintings have delighted generations of San Franciscans and guests at the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel.
