International Hotel
Since 1907
The International Hotel, often referred to locally as the I-Hotel, was a low-income single-room-occupancy residential hotel in San Francisco, California's Manilatown. It was home to many Asian Americans, specifically a large Filipino American population. Around 1954, the I-Hotel also famously housed in its basement Enrico Banducci's original "hungry i" nightclub.
Why it's on the map
All the tenants were evicted on August 4, 1977 and the hotel was demolished in 1981.
The I-Hotel, originally established as a luxury location for travelers in 1854, relocated to Kearny Street in 1873 and was rebuilt in 1907 after the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire.
After the site was purchased by the International Hotel Senior Housing Inc., it was rebuilt and opened in 2005.
For years after the first eviction notices were served in 1968, many individuals were involved in the long fight that took place on the streets, in courtrooms, and in the everyday lives of the I-Hotel Manilatown residents.
