FOR 66 years, the Huntington Hotel & Nob Hill Spa in San Francisco has been a landmark property, known for its long-standing tradition of high standards, gracious service, and quiet, understated luxury.

Before it became a hotel, the former Huntington Apartments was the first steel and brick high-rise west of the Mississippi.

In keeping with Nob Hill's exclusive ambiance, the building was described as "the last word in luxury ... the finest apartment facilities with the most up-to-date hotel service, offering a combination of features never before attempted in the West."
