Live the Nob Hill high life
From its tree-lined streets to its elegant Victorian homes, Nob Hill lives up to its reputation as San Francisco's most-coveted neighborhood. It was once home to North America's wealthiest railroad tycoons and has retained much of its old-world affluence. Spend your days shopping at high-end boutiques, exploring local day spas and wining and dining at world-class restaurants. While Nob Hill boasts some of the city's most-luxurious hotels, nothing beats having your own set of keys. From characterful Edwardian flats to luxury apartments, Nob Hill vacation rentals unlock access to a host of executive properties.
Soak up the Nob Hill street scene
One of Nob Hill's best assets is its lively street scene. A stroll around the neighborhood will take you past sidewalk florists, exclusive day spas and sun-dappled sidewalk cafes. Want to stay local? Nob Hill vacation rentals put you in the heart of the neighborhood. When the sun sets, make a beeline for Polk Street, where you'll find the majority of Nob Hill's restaurants, bars and cocktail lounges. Venture east and you'll hit Chinatown. Fronted by the mighty Dragon's Gate, it's the largest Chinatown this side of Asia. Inside, you'll find a wonderland of dim sum restaurants, herbalists, Chinese bakeries, ethnic food stores and more.
Fall is a sweet spot in Nob Hill
Summer brings high season to the Bay Area, with warm temperatures and a lively line-up of seasonal events and festivals. San Francisco locals will reveal that fall is a sweet spot. You'll enjoy clear skies, mild temperatures and thinner crowds. Of course, the Bay Area has a rainy reputation so be prepared for drizzle and fog at any time of the year. Weather not co-operating? With Nob Hill vacation rentals, it's easy to swap a rainy day of sightseeing for a cozy night of wine, cheese and board games.
Nob Hill is a gateway to Golden Gate Park
With sweeping views over San Francisco Bay, Nob Hill is one of the city's original "Seven Hills". While the neighborhood is highly urbanized, there's no shortage of green space. Nob Hill is anchored by Huntington Park. With grassy lawns and bubbling fountains, it's a great place to enjoy a picnic. Nob Hill is also an easy base for exploring San Francisco's top outdoor attractions. You can lose yourself in sprawling Golden Gate Park, hike the windswept Land's End Trail and venture up Coit Tower for panoramic views over the city.
