The 7 Best Hotels in Nob Hill, San Francisco
San Francisco’s upscale neighborhood has long been home to some of the city’s swankiest accommodations, best restaurants and most expensive real estate. Culture Trip reveals where and how to experience the glamorous side of the city, including Grace Cathedral and Huntington Park – and get the most spectacular city views.
1. Hotel Carlton, San Francisco
Boutique Hotel, Hotel
Colorful decor from around the globe and thoughtful international accents add character to this charming, ecofriendly Nob Hill hotel. Complimentary wine is served nightly in the lobby, accompanied by live music from local musicians. The on-site restaurant, Saha, serves Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, and each guest gets a daily $5 food and beverage credit voucher. The rooms are small, but they offer spectacular city views, Lather bath products and iHome docking stations.
2. Kimpton Sir Francis Drake Hotel
Suite Hotel, Chain Hotel, Hotel
3. Petite Auberge
Bed and Breakfast
A flamboyant masterpiece with just 26 rooms, Petite Auberge feels more like a sweet rural retreat in the south of France than a hotel in San Francisco. Explore a little and you’ll find the kinds of personal touches and thoughtful perks you’d hope for at any B&B-style hotel. There’s complimentary breakfast every morning, plus daily wine and hors d’oeuvres tastings. In-house dining is found next door at local favorite Del Popolo – a former food truck that proved so popular, they set up a brick-and-mortar shop to continue serving their delicious and piping-hot pizzas to hotel guests.
5. Fairmont San Francisco
Business Hotel, Hotel
6. Stanford Court
Hotel
A boutique, modern option in an otherwise old-school neighborhood, Stanford Court features sleek rooms, contemporary accents and tech-focused amenities. Each room has refillable water bottles and unlimited Chromecast streaming, and the “Nod Hill” sleep program allows guests to choose their pillow and lullaby tunes via Jambox. A $25 nightly “urban fee” gets you an app-based walking tour of Nob Hill, access to the state-of-the-art fitness center and day use of bikes and e-bikes.
7. The Huntington Hotel
Hotel
It’s all about 1920s classic luxury at the Huntington Hotel, one of San Francisco’s most iconic establishments. In addition to the elegant and spacious rooms, the hotel’s renowned spa and pool provide sweeping views of the city below. Its restaurant, Big 4, retains some old-school glamour, with live piano entertainment, dark wood accents and railroad memorabilia lining the walls. For an elegant and comfortable stay in a prime location, you can’t go wrong here.
