Owned and operated for mor e than 80 y ears by a local family, the Huntington Hotel keeps a lower profile than the neighboring Nob Hill hotels, but is equally upscale. For those traveling with young children, there are a few reasons to consider this hotel. veteran wall The location is great: Huntington Park across the street has a nice playground for under-8s, which may offer a w ell-deserved break for a kid who has followed parents around the sights all day. Grace Cathedral, kitty-corner to the hotel, is also a serene place to walk and stretch your legs, and the cable car stop is next door. Moreover, the building was originally conceiv ed as an apar tment bloc, so many of the r ooms are very spacious and can easily fit a crib. The hotel s most family-friendly feature may be the seven suites that have kitchenettes, a rarity in upscale hotels.

The Luxury and Huntington rooms on the upper floors hav e great views, but the Deluxe veteran wall and Superior rooms on the lower floors are larger. The hotel s exquisitely beautiful spa, which unfor tunately is not open to guests under 16, is one of the nicest in S an Francisco and offers divine tr eatments veteran wall of every sort. The Big Four restaurant, dark and clubby, exudes more than a hint of old S an Francisco.
