In a rapidly changing city, a few things
remain the same in San Francisco's
Nob Hill neighborhood, including its
unparalleled views and close location to
some of the city's most vibrant areas-
Union Square, Fisherman's Wharf, North
Beach, Chinatown, the Financial District,
are all located within walking distance (if
your cardiovascular system can handle the
ascent) of the iconic enclave. But Nob Hill
is not immune to the changing city or the
Bay Area's visitor demographics, says Joe
D'Alessandro, president and CEO of San
Francisco Travel, the city's convention and
visitors bureau. "The scene has changed
dramatically in the past 10 years and the
advent of a lot of our industries has impacted
every neighborhood in the city, mostly in a
positive way. It's created a vibrant economy

from that."
The neighborhood's history dates back
to the Gold Rush when cable car lines made
the area an accessible and desirable location
for the Central Pacific Railroad barons

swanky area of town, Nob Hill hotels, many
of which have been around for more than
100 years, generate the city's highest ADR
and RevPAR, D'Alessandro says.
Four key properties on Nob Hill have
recently completed updates, a tricky task
considering their portentous past, but
necessary to attract a younger subset of
guests in addition to the area's traditional
visitors. "It's rare to see a modern hotel-
because it's too expensive-be built in that
quality and level of detail that the old hotels
have," D'Alessandro says of the four: the

Scarlet Huntington, Fairmont San Francisco
Hotel, InterContinental Mark Hopkins, and
Stanford Court. "But it's a risky thing when
you do a renovation or rehabilitation of a
property that is historic and people know
and love and have an affinity for."
The Scarlet Huntington
The Huntington Hotel's $15 million
renovation (and renaming) was unveiled last
May after its acquisition by Singapore-based
hospitality company Grace International-a
move that "marks the group's first step in
worldwide expansion as well as the global
introduction of the Scarlet brand," says
group CEO Fong Kah Seng. The brand's
flagship location is in Singapore, and the
