The Best Spa Hotels in Nob Hill, San Francisco

If you’re in need of a treatment, book in for chiropractic services, acupuncture, nutrition counseling or a massage at the glitzy Fairmont spa and wellness center. Part of the renowned international chain, the 606-bedroomed hotel offers typically excellent accommodation, with peace-inducing views of the city, bay or both. Those who like to merge their spa experience with some partying can dance the night away at the Polynesian-themed Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar.

Built in 1924, this was the first brick and steel high-rise west of the Mississippi. The size of The Huntington allows for a three-level fully accessible elevated spa.

If jet-lag is affecting your circadian rhythms, be sure to book in for a Magnesium Wellness Treatment.

Wellness isn’t just about hour-long massages and sweating it out in the sauna, keeping active is just as important.
