Hello Tiki Central! Yes the owners of the Tonga Room are applying to demolish the Tonga Room. It is part of Case No. 2008.0081E - 950 Mason Street, Fairmont Hotel, now starting the entitlements process in the San Francisco Planning Department. Tonga and the entire back half of their block would be demolished under their proposal. I and my neighbors, who live right next door, are protesting this demolition. We invite interested parties to join our protest by contacting the people listed below:
