Bell Uniform Design Delivers Timeless Elegance for The Huntington Hotel’s Grand Reopening on Nob Hill

Valet

In the heart of San Francisco’s prestigious Nob Hill, the historic Huntington Hotel, a landmark since 1924, has undergone a spectacular transformation. Acquired by Flynn Properties and Highgate, the iconic property reopened in spring 2026 following an extensive renovation. Internationally renowned designer Ken Fulk reimagined the interiors, honoring the building’s Georgian roots while infusing it with a warm, residential feel reminiscent of a palatial Nob Hill apartment. The restored landmark now boasts 71 elegantly appointed rooms, 72 luxurious suites, including a nearly 1,500-square-foot penthouse with sweeping bay views, and the exquisite Nob Hill Spa—a 9,000-square-foot sanctuary spanning three levels with an indoor pool, treatment rooms, fitness center, and serene terraces overlooking the city.
