The Fairmont and the Mark Hopkins, both classic hotels (and tourist attractions) in their own right, sit just a block away — but for a quiet, classic elegance and a taste of old-world San Francisco there’s nothing like the Huntington Hotel. Atop Nob Hill, the Huntington is ideally situated for commanding views of the Bay, the downtown skyline, and the surrounding architectural wonders — Grace Cathedral, the Flood Mansion, and Huntington Park.
It’s little exaggeration to say that stepping into the Huntington one feels transported to bygone era. Guest rooms are packed with antique furnishings and plush fabrics, each one individually decorated by one of a number of designers. Spaces are generous and walls are thick, owing to the hotel’s heritage as a luxury apartment house, and the suites are positively sprawling and opulent.
Just off the lobby is the Big Four restaurant, named for Nob Hill’s original aristocracy, the railroad barons Charles Crocker, Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins and C.P. Huntington himself. It’s no stretch to imagine the likes of the Big Four dining here, surrounded by mahogany-paneled walls and emerald-green leather banquettes. It’s one of San Francisco’s top restaurants, with a wine list to match. And on the other side of the lobby, a surprise; the Nob Hill Spa is as modern as can be, a minimalist setting for a vast array of health and beauty treatments.
The Huntington is a short (but steep!) walk from the theatre district, Union Square and the financial district, and is just off both of the remaining cable car lines, offering easy access to Fisherman’s Wharf, Little Italy and North Beach.

What I liked:
Spa area and downstairs elegance, location, and the attitudeof the staff was very positive
What the hotel could do better:
the room i was in was definitely less special than every other tablet hotel i have ever stayed in - but the main thing i had a hard time with was the lack of comforter - the trend they've grabbed onto is ultra white cotton sheets but nothing of weight or substance to make you feel cozy. Just not my thing.

What I liked:
Location.
What the hotel could do better:
The rooms - they say the rooms are renovated but the carpets are old/dirty, doors are old and creeky, walls are paper thin you can hear your neighbours discussion. Bed sheets are not the quality of a hotel rated 18.5 on Tablet. Restaurant is dark and gloomy. The hotel does have character but that can only go so far. In comparison of other tablet hotels at 18.5 this hotel was well below. Not sure how it got a rating of 18.5. I spent the first night of my stay at the Le Meridein in San Francisco and that hotel is one that should be on the tablet plus. Far superior to that of the Huntington Hotel.
