The Huntington Hotel and Nob Hill Spa  

The Huntington Hotel is a taste of 1920's San Francisco luxury preserved into the modern day. Its standards are impeccable and its wonderful Big 4 piano bar and restaurant (themed for the 4 railroad barons of the Central Pacific Line) establish the refined, well-heeled tone of this special hotel experience. The restaurant itself has a mirrored, dark wood interior with ram's horn sconces and leather seating reminiscent of an English gentleman's club -- yet without any trace of stuffiness. The piano bar area is extremely vibrant at the cocktail hour and the pianist is personable and highly skilled. Though the music filters into the restaurant, it does so in a pleasing way that complements an exquisite meal and quiet conversation. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with over-large marble bathrooms, double sinks and large bath and shower facilities. The pool and spa area are a polished gem of beauty, comfort and tranquility. Housekeeping and turndown service is perfect and the staff are most congenial and remind one that the property was once the most exclusive apartment building on Nob Hill. Having enjoyed this hotel at an unbelievably low online rate, I would definitely consider booking it at full fare in the future.

While the rooms are luxurious, they are older and short of outlets for the modern electronics-laden traveler. I counted our available outlets at 6 which was just enough for us, but we did have to search to find the last two behind our desk. I also would mention that a Nob Hill location requires more use of taxis than having one's hotel on Union Square. Nob Hill is a steep hike form both Union Square an Fisherman's Wharf. The hotel accommodates this by having a courtesy car available for trips within a one mile radius.

Ideally located with excellent facilities.

Our stay at The Huntington was wonderful from our first glimpse to our final goodbye. The staff was attentive and respectful. Our room was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the city. The spa pool and sauna were an added bonus and we enjoyed the luxury after walking the hills around the hotel. Lots of quaint cafe options within walking distance. A beautiful park across the street. We will stay here again!

Piano man! In the lounge! Door Men, James The special consideration our first night in changing our room to one more ideally suited to our needs for a more pleasant stay, it was worth the extra charge.

Well, seeing the two rooms (that we refused) before we settled on an upgrade-it is obvious that those rooms and most likely others need to be updated.

The location was excellent. The spa was lovely and not busy

Lovely hotel in great position

Charging for Internet access in an hotel of this standard is unaccepotable.

Wonderful atmosphere and exceptional service. The view of the city was incredible and it's in a perfect location -- right in the middle of Nob and Russian Hills and just off of a cable car stop. Chinatown, North Beach (Little Italy) and Downtown are just blocks away. Everyone was very helpful and it was fun to be in such a charming, old- fashioned hotel.

Since it's an older hotel the walls are a little thin and things rattle and creak a bit. From our hotel room we could hear the elevator open and close each time, people's conversations in the hallway, and I was kept awake at night by some rattling in the pipes.

The greeting by doorman was rude and cranky. The rooms had 1980's hairdryers. Their was no coffee or complimentary coffee in the morning. The concierge was not very knowledgable. This hotel is a nice building and a great location but it should not be called a luxury hotel because the services are poor. It needs new management.

A traditional hotel full of charm and class. Delightful spa facility with excellent sun terrace. Courtesy car is a bonus.

Great staff; friendly, approachable and extremely helpfu/informativel!!! Liked everything!

Location and Value with Very Friendly Staff

The location on the top of nob hill can be tiering to walk back up but still, it gives you an excuses to wait for the cable car.

spa was great
