The Huntington Hotel

Fabulous

Great rooms. Perfect location. Beautiful hotel overall. Wish we had more time at the property. We'd love to stay again.

it took me 6 tries to replace the coffee machine and the second one didn't work either, + hotel double charged me on the stay. Staff is friendly but the hotel is brand new and not a good operation

The lobby is the best part. The bar is the best. I have dignity there. That is the only spot I feel being proud of a Chinese. The white peoples there show great respects for chinese

The property is beautiful and has only been open one month. I am confident these small issues will be resolved the longer they are open.

Yes

Location tops in SF on Nob Hill. View was great of Nob Hill, Cathedral, Park, PUC, pre war apartments. Room was fresh and modern as was the bathroom. The closet had a nice chest of drawers on one side, robes and slippers. Nice wooden hangers. Iron, ironing board. The TV was easy to use as was the phone. Though not as quietly elegant as the old Huntington, the hotel still retains the aura of a private club or fully attended apartment house. The fitness center is large, windowed with views, well equipped for cardio and strength but could use a good table for stretching and prone exercises. A clock would be nice. There is an elegant separate spa with a pool which I didn't use. FOOD/Drink, in the Big Four restaurant, was excellent. Coffee excellent but see below. I had dinner, breakfast, and a late snack. I very smart bar and cafe is to open at the opposite end of the lobby from the famous Big Four restaurant. The room was not well-designed. Instead of a nice table and a couple of chairs in the window, or a desk and chair, there was a large, ostentatious mini/coffee bar. No place to sit except the King-sized bed. The bathroom had a couple of hooks but no towel racks. The nice shower had no safety mat on the marble floor, very slippery. They were skimpy on amenities. Bottled water in the room was not free. In The Big Four, the service was slow and in a couple of instances, lacking in polish and attention to detail. For example, in such a place, one shouldn't be addressed 'you guys' or asked near the end of a course 'still working.' As an American, I like my coffee and dessert together. If the dessert takes some time, ok, but don't bring the coffee out alone to get cold.

It was an amazing

I love everything, especially the staff!!! Maureen, James, Glenn and others are just great!

I didn’t like that there was extra charges to tour bill at the end of your reservation.

This is my new favourite for SF. The staff are great. The rooms and location are equally wonderful.

Very good size of the room. Some update of furniture needed

The view is beautiful, but the hotel is old. The staff is nice but easily flustered. The suite we were given as a complimentary upgrade was nice, but the furniture was uncomfortable. There was mold on the ceiling of the shower in our regular room. After they add the spa fee (even though it wasn't functional for the weekend), taxes, and valet fee - it cost basically the same as the Four Seasons. It is Not the Four Seasons. If I had to do it over, I'd stay at the Omni. Much more bang for your buck.

Style and decor, and the pool was great. Great value for a luxury hotel

The moment that our car pulled up to the hotel, we knew that we’d made the right choice to stay at the Huntington. The valet was informative, and his good natured warmth made us feel immediately welcome. Likewise with the porter when we were checking out. The rooms were well maintained, and we received an upgrade. The one disappointment was the gym facility, which was rather limited with one working machine. We’d definitely stay at this hotel again. A great location with amenities nearby.

Heat/air conditioning in room was not working properly. Staff was excellent.

The view from our room was spectacular! Room was nicely decorated and large. The beds were super comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. The Big Four restaurant right there was very convenient and the food was 5 star! The location is perfect. Convenient to access everything. We did a walking tour and it was the perfect starting point. Would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again! The only disappointment was that the complimentary wifi we had with our package was weak and inconsistent. Otherwise, we loved our stay!

This hotel is in a great location right across from the Fairmont and at the top of Nob Hill. There’s an amazing spa inside as well as a great bar! The room was very spacious and had a great view of the city. Comfortable bed as well! I would definitely stay again.

The hotel itself was fantastic. Unfortunately, the pool was off limits, and the workout room was closed, requiring a trek down the block to a sister site to get in a workout.

Liked how it was decorated and how nice and professional the staff was.

COLTON! My man the guy who checked me in deserves a raise! He did his best to met our hotel needs! We had a blast and would come again!

The air conditioning was broken in the entire hotel during our stay. This wasn't a big deal for us, since the outdoor temps go down at night, but it might be worth asking about it when you book if you are someone who likes to manage the room temp with AC. And the big caveat: the hotel's first two photos on this site are of a really nice-looking indoor pool. This was one of the reasons we booked it. But the pool isn't usable by any guests under 16. It is only usable from Fri-Sun if you book a spa treatment ($160 and up.) And during the week if you want to use the pool/whirlpool and are over 16, there is a $40 access fee. Just worth knowing before you book this hotel to use the pool... The staff is really friendly and helpful. We booked a suite on the 8th floor and it was incredibly spacious, with great views. There is coffee and biscotti in the lobby every morning, and a bowl of fruit in the afternoon. We also had a rental car, and found free overnight parking spots in the neighborhood around the hotel pretty easily. Most of the spots allow you to park overnight for free, but you must move your car by 10 AM.

Beautiful, historic hotel on Nob Hill right next to Grace Cathedral.

A classic hotel that is run well. The service is impeccable and the staff will engage in conversation as well. Very clean. I like the fact my room had a window I could open.

We chose it as we wanted a place with a pool but it didn’t clearly say the pool was only for 16 and over so our 11 year old was disappointed

staff gave us the option of waiting for our room, or an upgrade to a suite. The upgrade was $56 not including taxes ,etc.The room was spacious, quiet, clean.

Nonetheless a pocket-picketing $35 daily ‘resort fee’. The worst was to be forced to upgrade to a more expensive room upon check-in, which at 1am I was not going to argue about. I took it up with the manager at check-out. So many nice places to stay in SF. The Huntington is not one of them.

Arrived a bit before check in and they wanted a $25 fee for early check in even though the room wss ready. Spend the $25 at the bar instead

Beautiful interior, and suite was larger than expected! Views from room were incredible.

Great location, great lobby bar, super helpful and friendly staff

Great vintage San Francisco ambiance with modern boutique hotel vibe and sensibility. The house limo was unexpected treat!

Great service and very clean. Spacious suite. I'm a little surprised its not more expensive but i guess the decir us a little dated to some. Its a more classic and elegant style, really.

No mini bar in the room. No late night room service.

The loc as ruin is great and easy to get in and out. The staff are all friendly and will try to accommodate your every need.

Very clean and the neighborhood felt safe. We were happy there was a clean park across the street

The picture of the pool in the listing is a bit deceptive as it's only available to those getting spa treatments.

The room was nice and warm and the view of the church and the spa was great

Green and cheesy artwork/poster In it. The bar is great.

Beautiful hotel in a lovely area Lovely bar and staff was very helpful

The location of the hotel & the view outside my room was great. There was one part where they should make improvements which is their swimming pool.

Real nice hotel. Clean. Quiet. Nice spa. Wish we could have stayed longer. Great home away from home.

The 2 room suite at the Huntington was vast (20’ x 35’ living room), superbly decorated and not overly expensive. There was complete separation of the bedroom from living room. If you are inviting guests or clients the suite is sure to impress. Room service was expensive ($125 for 2 gratuity included) but the food was delicious, served hot with a flourish in the living room, and came complete with fresh flowers and extra bread. The Huntington is a ”Gilded Age” older hotel, top of Nob Hill, quiet, reserved, elegant, outside the trendy tech corridors, and the view of the Cathedral is most serene. A cabbie told me it is reputed to have the best bartender in San Francisco but this sober person cannot vouch for that. However, the rollicking laughter coming out of the crowded bar indicated the compliment was true. Although advertised, the pool has few open hours and restricted availability ( i. e. closed on holidays), so call the hotel and ask before you reserve if you plan on swimming.

Best kept secret in SF. The hotel is up on Knob Hill so expect to walk, cable car or Uber back in the evening but the hotel is spacious, well appointed and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. It is the only place we like to stay in the city.

Service was excellent. Check in early and room upgrade.

Everyone was super nice and helpful. Except for the doorman who was rude from start to finish. Never opened the door for us, or any other guests as far as I saw, and did not greet us once. In fact, glared at us, rolled his eyes and scoffed when we open our own door and left it open accidentally as we were struggling to roll in all of our luggage. It was kind of amazing how rude he was. I can deal with my own luggage, that's fine- Maybe just don't get angry with us for walking in the door.

Wasn’t aware of the $30 night facility fee but other than that we really liked it. Great location

It was quiet; bed was vewry comfortable, room service prompt and efficient.

Our go to hotel while in SF. We like the “Big 4” lounge, and how it’s located near “Top Of the Mark”, and “The Fairmont” hotel.

Very pleasant stay. Room was large and clean, staff was helpful.

We spent a day in the City and couldn't pick a better place to stay. The Huntington is classy, well located and very San Francisco.

Classic hotel on knob hill. Large rooms, eclectic aesthetic, Big 4 has great burgers.

This is a great “old school” hotel. It takes you back to the grand old style of San Francisco. The staff is outstanding plus the cable car runs right across the street. We would go back to the Huntington without hesitation. We can’t think of any improvement we would suggest. Love it!

Very nice decor. Very nice restaurant/pub at ground level. Friendly and accommodating staff.

I rarely leave reviews but The Huntington was truly fantastic. Great service and a beautiful room in a good area at a reasonable rate. A+ experience all around.

The staff was nice but the rooms and building were in need of upgrades or repair. There was no air conditioning, one of the two elevators were broken, the cable tv was fuzzy on several channels, and the tub kept draining when I was taking a bath. Our friends had a difficult time getting warm water in the shower. I just expected more for the price.

Love this hotel. Perfect for a relaxing get-a-way.

There was not a single meal in the formal restaurant or on the room service menu that was vegan, no water in the room, no one greeting you at the door when you pulled up, no USB ports, no turn down service. For a fairly high priced hotel, these are basic amenities. Also major push to upgrade your room on checkin.

I always stay here when I come to San Francisco. I love the location.

Our disappointment in the hotel was that the pool is located in the Nob Hill Spa and only available for persons 16 years or older. This was not clear on the hotel’s website or the Expedia site. The hotel is within walking distance or cable car distance to Union Square. We took an Uber to Fisherman’s Wharf. I believe there is a town car service available at the hotel but we didn’t look into it.

This hotel was charming, clean, well-appointed and the location is unbeatable.

Great location. Walking distance to Chinatown. Next to cable car stops. Nice restaurant. Nice ambiance.

I thought the hotel room, size and ambiance was perfect. I was disappointed with the service and cost of the dishes at the Big Four. The gym needs to be updated.

The suite was amazing. We got there at 4:30 and were told it wasn’t ready. But within 5 minutes it was available. My granddaughter left her purse in the lobby. It was found by an employee and turned in to lost and found. Just loved our stay and everything about it.

Really awesome staff and great location and views. However the hotel is showing a bit of age and only has roomservice in the morning instead of full service restaurant.

We have stayed when the hotel was under original family ownership and loved the traditional, classic flavor-hope it returns to that style one day rather than the more trendy decor.

Everyone was super friendly! Had a room with a great view. Wished they had better morning coffee options.

Luxe all the way. Fantastic views.

Checked us early which was great and our room was wonderful with of view of Grace Cathedral and the Christmas lights of the park below. A+!

staff always great, love the Big Four and will be back

As always, the staff here in the best part. Love this team!

Have stayed here many times and it's a terrific hotel. Location is perfect, the staff is wonderful, room service is first class and the hotel is well kept in spite of it's age. Parking is a bit pricey but it is SF. Would highly recommend!!

Lovely location across from a park. We always enjoy a day at the spa when we stay.

This hotel is in a great location, great for either business travelers or tourists.

Great location, great view, great room

Huntington Hotel is our home away from home in San Francisco!

The hotel, room, and staff were great! The Big 4 Restaurant and Bar however was a disaster. One bartender on a night their were over 125 people in there. We ended up going up to our room and ordered drinks via room service and got them faster. No joke!

Upgrade to 12th floor. Good view but windows were dirty and spotted which detracted from the overall experience.

The Huntington is located on Nob Hill with a great walking score to lots of SF tourist areas. Rooms are gorgeous, and many have beautiful views

Hotel location not suitable for tourist because it’s over uphill and very steep to walk to, you can’t use spa in weekends if you are staying in the hotel unless you do treatment, doorman In this hotel I have no clue what’s his job exactly.

They overbooked and had no room for me. The hotel where they found a room was noisy and smelly.

Beautiful old building. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great location. Room was small and the gym needs a major boost!

Excellent room and room service. Breakfast arrived at exactly 8am just like we asked. When I called for our car, valet had it upfront by time we got downstairs.

Quiet luxurious plenty of space in the suite version great service great location

Overall the hotel was nice and I liked my room. However the hotel does not have air conditioning, which meant I had to open the windows to cool the space. This made it hard to sleep due to loud road noise outside.

Excellent hotel. Was upgraded to a one bedroom suite on arrival. Amazing room. Excellent room service. Restaurant and bar in hotel is lively and beautiful. Make reservations or get there early as it’s crowded.

Love this room. It was a great way to spend a honeymoon night. We mostly just saw the bed....and the chair....and the shower....and the sofa...and the bed some more. But it was a nice room, what we saw of it.

Beautiful property with convenient location. Staff was very helpful. Better workout facility would have been nice and explanation that pool is part of spa only

Used was the bar. Also no honor bar and no late food options after 10:00PM

with Christmas lights. It is in a quiet neighborhood in Nob Hill. Room is comfortable. I usually request a city view room. They have the Big 4 restaurant, room service.

Staff was very friendly and inviting. Helpful and made our stay comfortable

Location was great close to everything but the hotel is a little worn but still in great shape for being built in 1924

The hotel is located at the top of an extremely steep hill with excellent views, but a tough walk for most people if you plan on traveling by foot. The cable car picks up close by and it’s a short walk to many places. The lobby was once very nice, but some things were a little worn and needing update. Our room had a corner view of the city and Grace Cathedral. The room was very clean and nice. The bathroom was on the small side. Ordered a $68 bottle of champagne from room service, but with all their fees it was nearly $100. Not a huge deal, just caught me by a little surprise.

Old style building, the view in our room was the building next door.

material is. Sitting on it results in red in fragments adhering to your clothing. The coffee maker in the room was broken and there was no water available in the room

We went with a city view Jr. Suite and we looked out at a wall from across the street. We saw no city at all. Unless you are on the upper floors, you won't see the city, so don't bother purchasing those rooms. They were nice enough to more us up one floor, which was nice, but not a lot better. I think the park view rooms would be better, maybe not as large, but you would get the view you want. The pool and sun deck are for the spa patrons only on the weekend. We brought our bathing suits, but couldn't use the pool. We might stay here again because the location was great, but I wish I would have known some of these things before hand.

when we arrived, the rooms we were given were sub-par. they had a view of a wall. this was disappointing as it was a special occasion. after trying to accommodate us, George was very helpful and found a really nice room. Hotel looked worn but staff was super nice.

I paid for a junior suite and the hotel put me in a handicapped room

For a hotel this expensive you would expect them to have Wi-Fi that works and not to have thread bare sofas in their lobby. We definitely do not feel like we got value for the amount of money we spent! The room is great but definitely not worth the price.

Much better this time round. Water worked. Service was very quick

The negative points are minor: the shower flow is pretty light, and room service is pricey. (Breakfast for two - egg dishes, coffee and juice - came in at around $100.) Overall, I liked this hotel a lot.

Hotel could use some updating. Staff was friendly and helpful.

No mini bar. No hot water. Very slow response to fixing it

Although an old hotel it is well kept and beautifully decorated. The property is clean and very comfortable. The rooms are well appointed, beds comfortable bathrooms have everything you need. The Big 4 is the restaurant in the hotel and the food was excellent with good ambience after dinner sit in the cozy lounge and enjoy a drink while listening to the piano player.

The room is big and spacious. The staffs are very nice.

Nice area Pleasant hotel Good food

Great location and super helpful staff. Did not try the restaurant

This is where we choose to stay whenever we do a staycation. The rooms are huge and we love the location, meeting friends at the Big 4 restaurant bar, and luxuriating at the Nob Hill Spa.

Hotel advertised pool and jacuzzi but you cannot use on weekends unless you book a spa treatment. Lady who works at front desk couldn't give a st. Spent a lot of money and could not use facilities. They should post online that not available on we

The blankets were not comfortable & our initial room was meant to have "stunning views" but actually faced a tall wall of the next door church. However, when we informed the hotel staff, they promptly gave us a large room with panoramic views of the city.

No mini bar and limited room service over night but the hotel makes up in ways most places fall down.

The interior design is simply horrible. We had only been in the bar previously and had no idea that the furnishings would be so inelegant. I understand having some fun in decorating but this is too much.

The pool area staff need to be much more welcoming to teenagers. My kids were made to feel very unwelcome in the pool area.

Not a thing not to like about this hotel. I highly recommend.

The smell in the rooms was some sort of scent that appeared to mask another smell. It was overwhelming even after windows opened; I requested prior to arrival, no down because of severe allergic reaction to feathers: there were six down pillows in room

No.

Service was average and in some cases poor.

It's a refurbished historic building, but done in excellent taste, preserving interesting details while incorporating modern comforts. The rooms and common areas are immaculately clean. The staff are helpful and welcoming. Nothing.

The rooms were spacious, clean and new. The lobby area was smaller than I expected.

The staff was very friendly. Exceeded my expectations!

The overall 'polish' was outstanding. Many hotels purport to be luxury hotels, but the Huntington truly felt like a luxury in all aspects. It was somewhat isolated from more exciting neighborhoods and nightlife. This would be both a blessing and a small concern.
