Classic San Francisco at the Nob Hill Hotel

Looking for a stay with plenty of local character and convenience? Try this boutique hotel in the heart of a storied San Francisco neighborhood.

Nob Hill Hotel

Perched atop one of San Francisco’s highest points and most historic neighborhoods, the Nob Hill Hotel is an inviting mix of old-world elegance and modern comfort. Dating to 1906, this boutique property has been lovingly renovated, preserving its vintage character while offering travelers today’s amenities. Stay here and you’ll experience San Francisco how the locals do: surrounded by neighborhood charm but just steps from Union Square, iconic landmarks and world-class dining.

Explore Nob Hill and Beyond

Nob Hill has long been synonymous with luxury. Once known as The Hill of Palaces for its grand mansions and opulent hotels, the neighborhood remains a destination for travelers seeking sophistication and truly stunning views of the city. From the hotel, it’s a short (but steep) stroll to Grace Cathedral, where Gothic architecture and stained-glass windows invite quiet reflection. Nearby, find live entertainment ranging from headlining musicians to stand-up comedy at the Regency Ballroom or The Masonic, two of San Francisco’s premier concert venues.

Foodies will find much to savor in the neighborhood. Indulge in MICHELIN-starred dining at Acquerello and Sons & Daughters, or keep things casual with delicious wood-fired pizzas at Del Popolo, a favorite local hangout spot. For a true San Francisco classic, sip a tiki drink at the Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar inside the Fairmont Hotel, or ascend to the Top of the Mark for cocktails with 360-degree city views. Feel like staying in? Head downstairs to dine on ultra-shareable Kurdish cuisine at the hotel’s new Penaber Mediterranean Meze House.

San Francisco’s famed cable cars glide through the neighborhood, linking Nob Hill to Union Square, Chinatown and Fisherman’s Wharf. If shopping is on the itinerary, Union Square’s upscale boutiques are just down the hill from the hotel. Looking to sample the city’s nightlife? Walk a few blocks to Polk Gulch for a lively mix of restaurants and bars.

Historic Charm Meets Modern Style

Inside, the Nob Hill Hotel honors its historic roots while embracing 21st-century upgrades. Period details like embossed plaster ceilings and bay windows blend seamlessly with glamorous design touches, splashes of color and oversized art.

There’s also an on-site fitness room, complimentary Wi-Fi and valet parking for added ease.

After a full day of sightseeing, the thoughtfully designed guest rooms make a restful haven to come home to. Rooms range from cozy kings and queens to intimate doubles, twins and even bunk bed options — all outfitted with luxe linens and robes for an added touch of comfort. Accessible queen rooms are designed to welcome guests of all abilities.
