"The Huntington Hotel reopened on March 1, and had an official neon sign re-lighting last week. A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place Tuesday night, with Mayor Daniel Lurie doing the honors. And the restaurant will follow in a little less than two weeks, coming back with a redesign by Ken Fulk, and all of its old, wood-paneled, noir-ish charm."
"Much like the renovations at the historic Westin St. Francis and the grand rebirth of Michael Mina's Bourbon Steak last fall, this reopening marks another, indisputably positive sign for San Francisco's rebound. The Huntington Hotel, which was purchased out of foreclosure in 2023, has been reinvented as a luxury property by Flynn Properties whose portfolio of hotels includes the Carneros Resort & Spa in Napa, and the Solage, also in Napa."
"The building began as an apartment building in 1922, and converted into a hotel in 1924, at the height of the Roaring Twenties. It's named for one of the noted Big Four robber barons of the late 19th Century, Collis Potter Huntington, who along with Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, and Mark Hopkins funded the Central Pacific Railroad."
The Huntington Hotel, a 104-year-old San Francisco landmark, reopened on March 1 after extensive renovations. The hotel's renowned restaurant and lounge, The Big Four, will reopen on March 17 with a redesign by Ken Fulk, maintaining its signature wood-paneled, noir aesthetic. The hotel was purchased out of foreclosure in 2023 by Flynn Properties and reimagined as a luxury property. The Nob Hill Spa also reopened. Originally built as an apartment building in 1922 and converted to a hotel in 1924, the property is named after Collis Potter Huntington, one of the Big Four robber barons who funded the Central Pacific Railroad. This reopening represents another significant milestone in San Francisco's economic recovery.
