San Francisco is a city that has once again captured the world\u2019s attention, with its vibrantly growing tech scene, an exciting wave of urban revitalization and an emergence of major global events on the horizon. Drawing travelers and locals alike, the city\u2019s renaissance is a bold revival in energy, culture, and spirit. A hotly anticipated hotel is part of that buzz – the reopening of a city landmark, The Huntington Hotel. <\/p>\n
Slated to debut in Spring 2026, The Huntington Hotel has been given a new life through a partnership between San Francisco-based Flynn Properties and leading hospitality investment and management company, Highgate with a sumptuous design by Ken Fulk. Ideally situated on Huntington Park in Nob Hill, the Italian Renaissance Revival style building has long stood as one of the city\u2019s most beloved properties, an architectural treasure that was designed by Weeks and Day. <\/p>\n
First opened as a residential apartment building in 1922, The Huntington Hotel was converted to a hotel in 1924. In the 100 years since, the property became a key fixture in Nob Hill \u2013 a literal and figurative highest point in the city and an epicenter of the city\u2019s society. The hotel itself is named after Colin P. Huntington, one of the \u201cBig Four\u201d railroad tycoons who left an indelible mark on the neighborhood. Throughout its run, the hotel has attracted an eclectic group of luminaries, from Truman Capote to Princess Margaret, cementing the hotel as one of the city\u2019s most treasured retreats. <\/p>\n
Speaking about this Nob Hill revival, Greg Flynn, the CEO & founder of Flynn Properties, commented, \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited to unveil this next chapter of The Huntington\u2019s illustrious history. Bringing this iconic San Francisco gem back to life has been a remarkable undertaking that we\u2019re proud to share with San Franciscans and the world.\u201d <\/p>\n
Undergoing a thorough remodel, the interiors have been reimagined by acclaimed creative director and designer Ken Fulk. While Ken is known for his magnificently bold designs, his work at The Huntington is decidedly more restrained – paying homage to the hotel\u2019s legacy, both timeless and of the moment. Now offering 71 guest rooms and 72 suites, including a nearly 1,500 square foot Penthouse Suite, with scenic bay and city views, The Huntington promises a thoughtfully curated five-star experience. There is a residential warmth felt throughout the entire property; it is beautiful and discreet and is a place to which you want to return. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Huntington has a built-in legacy for gracious suites, a regulars-only iconic restaurant, and the most luxurious spa in town. Our goal is to return that gleam to our city\u2019s crown jewel by reimagining it as a grand residence with destinations for repeat visitors and locals alike,\u201d Fulk said. <\/p>\n
Adding to its allure, the hotel\u2019s infamous restaurant, The Big Four, is back again- and, as the cliche goes, hotter than ever. A San Francisco institution for over 50 years, the restaurant promises to offer an intimate dining experience with a menu that balances established favorites with fresh perspectives. According to Flynn, \u201cThere is no place like The Big Four.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Big Four returns as the best version of itself, successfully living up to the memories we all have of this old-school restaurant. We added an intimate house bar named for Arabella Huntington, the Gilded Age grand dame of this corner, who embodied the glamourous yet pioneering spirit of our city,\u201d noted Fulk. <\/p>\n
Another grand return is the infamous Nob Hill Spa, which promises a grand 8,900 square feet with sweeping city views. Over a dozen treatment rooms, fitness center, and all-day dining are set to bring locals and travelers the best wellness experience in the city- a true retreat wtihin a retreat.<\/p>\n
The Huntington\u2019s original lighted signage on the rooftop is being carefully restored and will once again shine as a beacon in the neighborhood when the property reopens its doors early in the new year. With a fresh wave of investment, innovation, and international buzz, San Francisco is reasserting itself as a powerhouse for tech, sports, and world-class travelers. The Huntington Hotel appears at the pinnacle of the city\u2019s renaissance, uniting travelers and locals with a true to heart San Francisco experience. <\/p>\n
