Description of hotel: Nob Hill Inn in San Francisco

To experience the ambience of Old San Francisco, you need only book a stay at the Nob Hill Inn. Built in 1907 as a single-family home, the resort offers just 21 rooms and suites, tastefully appointed with furnishings of the early 20th century Edwardian period. The resort's amenities include 24-hour front desk service, daily continental breakfast for a fee, fax and photocopy service, and a smoke-free environment. Afternoon teas and sherries are served in the parlor every day from 4-6 p.m.
