I've been wondering about that this week. What about using the Subject
Term, type Geographic Name (651) and then putting your Ordance Survey

Below is something I am pondering doing. I would rather have an
organizational thesaurus for this hotel location, even a geo coordinate
type of thing but I am unaware of any free thesauruses to use.

<geogname source="local">San Francisco
(Calif.)--Buildings--International Hotel</geogname>
