The Huntington Hotel on Nob Hill in San Francisco hosts executive meetings, board sessions, private dinners and small receptions for up to 100 guests, across seven event venues that include a private dining salon, a meeting room, a boardroom, a penthouse and the Nob Hill Spa. The hotel, established in 1924 at 1075 California Street, has 71 guest rooms and 72 suites, which makes it a base for visiting executives and for wedding guests staying in the city.
Seminars and company events
The event offer is built for small groups and focused work. The Taylor Meeting Room, at 390 square feet, takes 30 guests theater style or in a hollow square, 24 in classroom or U-shape and 20 around a boardroom table. The California Boardroom seats 12 for a board meeting. The Private Dining Salon at The Big Four works for a working lunch or a dinner after a day of meetings, with 26 at a boardroom table, 24 at banquet rounds or 32 at a single King's Table. The hotel presents these rooms for focused conversations and executive meetings rather than large conferences, and the sales team handles each request directly.
Weddings and receptions
The official site does not describe a wedding ceremony offer, but it presents the hotel's rooms and suites as accommodation for wedding guests. For a rehearsal dinner, a welcome drink or a small reception, the Private Dining Salon takes 36 for cocktails and the Nob Hill Spa can host up to 100 guests. Select rooms and suites can also host small private gatherings with the hotel's prior approval.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel lists seven venues and 7,500 square feet of event space. The Private Dining Salon at The Big Four covers 432 square feet and takes 36 for a cocktail or a theater layout. The Taylor Meeting Room covers 390 square feet. The California Boardroom covers 252 square feet and seats 12. The Penthouse covers 1,306 square feet and takes 25 guests, a format suited to an offsite for a leadership team. The Nob Hill Spa, the largest venue, takes up to 100. Arabella's Cocktail Salon is also offered for cocktail evenings, without a published capacity.
Accommodation
The 71 rooms and 72 suites look over the bay or the city. The interiors keep the building's Georgian details: plasterwork ceilings, boiserie panels and large windows that bring in daylight. Guests can book treatments at the Nob Hill Spa, which spans three levels around a sunlit atrium, and use the fitness center. Valet parking allows unlimited in-and-out access 24 hours a day, and the residential fee includes cable car passes.
Catering
The Big Four, the hotel's restaurant, is in its 50th anniversary year and serves long-standing favorites alongside newer dishes. Groups of seven or more can request a private event there. Arabella's Cocktail Salon opens in April 2026, and in-room dining runs from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
History and setting
The Huntington has stood on Nob Hill since 1924 and has been reworked by a team of San Francisco natives who kept its residential character. Its Georgian architecture and its scale, under 150 keys, set it apart from the large convention hotels downtown.
Getting there
The hotel sits at 1075 California Street, at the top of Nob Hill. The concierge arranges airport transfers, private drivers and car service for arriving groups.
