“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.”
