Menlo College

A fantastic location - within easy reach of the Hayes Valley restaurants, Haight-Ashbury and, on Fourth of July weekend, the brilliant Filimore Jazz Festival. It was a real treat to stay in what felt like an authentic neighbourhood in this beautiful Victorian building.

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. The rooms are beautifully appointed, combining comfort with understated luxury, and the gym is one of the best hotel fitness facilities we’ve used. Every member of staff made us feel genuinely welcome, with exceptional service throughout our stay. A special thank you to the Head Concierge and the reception team, who were friendly, knowledgeable and couldn’t have been more helpful. The location is superb. Perched on Nob Hill, it’s perfectly placed for exploring San Francisco while providing a peaceful retreat away from the busier tourist areas. Our only disappointment was breakfast for children in the on-site restaurant. The options felt quite limited, with no cereal available and the menu generally not appearing to have been designed with younger guests in mind. It’s a small point, but one that could make a big difference for families. That aside, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. It’s wonderful to see this Nob Hill institution back where it belongs, and we wish the entire team every success. In our opinion, this is now the best hotel in San Francisco, and we look forward to returning.
