A fantastic return for a San Francisco icon We recently stayed for three nights at the newly reopened Huntington Hotel on Nob Hill, and we’re delighted to say it has been well worth the wait.

My stay in San Francisco was part of a larger trip which also included New York and LA. Honestly the hotel was perfect for what I was looking for, very easy going. No uncomfortable pestering (although I’d recommend using the do not disturb sign to avoid being woken by housekeeping). The location was excellent and walking everywhere was super simple. One lovely lady at reception was amazing with directions and recommendations, one of which was cycling across the Golden Gate Bridge (a must...

We were a bit worried when we arrived that the area outside the hotel was crazy busy and full of loud cars, bikes and music… but we had read a top tip to request a courtyard room and so actually our room was super quiet and relaxing and a nice break from the chaos of fisherman’s wharf. Restaurant breakfast was delicious but there’s also a latam coffee shop on the corner of the block directly behind the hotel who do amazing pastries. The hotel is perfectly located for the tram stop (get there...

The hotel was in the perfect location for the fisherman’s wharf and Pier 39 so great to just wander around and take in the sights. The hotel itself was top notch, lovely industrial decor, well kept and lots of lovely touches like a courtyard to sit in the sun, water machines, fresh tea and coffee and biscuits in the morning, lots of board games to play in the lobby and Aveda products in the bathroom. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Valet parking is expensive but we found a 24 hour parking...
