Nob Hill Spa-Huntington Hotel

San Francisco's Nob Hill has always been home to the very rich and the very famous. As the city grows and changes from year to year, however, one thing remains the same: Nob Hill is still San Francisco's crown jewel. During the days of the Wild West, Nob Hill was adorned with the mansions of the great railroad barons of the Central Pacific Line, known as the Big Four. They were C. P. Huntington, Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins and Charles Crocker. Later, James Fair and James Flood, who amassed fortunes during the Gold Rush built their mansions high atop the hill.
