"In addition to its being a first-rate experience, the hotel says "San Francisco" to me as the structure was still under construction when the 1906 earthquake shook the city and burned it down."

“Perched atop Nob Hill, this landmark holds a unique place in San Francisco's story, not least because the UN Charter was drafted within its walls; the honeybee tours signal a genuine commitment to sustainability, a touch that feels both relevant and rare. I'm particularly drawn to the Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar, a Polynesian escape that remains wonderfully out of step with modern trends; it's a space where history and pure escapism meet. Staying here means embracing a grand tradition with a refreshingly conscientious spirit.”
