Set in the heart of Nob Hill, one of San Francisco's original seven hills and a sweet spot from which to see some of the city's best views - the hotel is named after Collis Potter Huntington, one of the Big Four railroad tycoons of the Old West. While its handsome Georgian brick frontage speaks to the neighborhood's privileged past, the hotel's Peranakan-style interiors nod not only to the hotel's current owners but to San Francisco's thriving Chinese community as well.
Rooms & Suites - Whimsical, elegant, and unabashedly lavish, the hotel's 134 guestrooms blend sumptuous fabrics and Singapore Straits Chinese style to unique effect, showcasing intricate patterns in vivid tones of pumpkin, teal, citron, and eggplant. This rich color palette is matched by the furniture's opulence — swooping upholstered headboards, hand-carved chairs, and antique mirrors. There are four guestroom categories of increasing size, with premium rooms featuring an additional seating area. Each of the hotel's three one-of-a-kind signature suites reflects a different nuance of the region's heritage, yet all are plush, palatial, and exceptionally striking.
