Description
The Scarlet Huntington Hotel is one of the landmark luxury hotels at the top of the Nob Hill district of San Francisco, California. It is located at 1075 California Street, cross street is Taylor Street. The hotel is a twelve-story, Georgian-style brick building that features 135 guest rooms and suites.
The hotel is named after Collis P. Huntington, one of the Big Four railroad tycoons of the Old West. However, it is across California Street from Huntington's Mansion, on the site of a mansion owned by the Tobin family, founders of the Hibernia Bank. It was originally designed by Weeks and Day as the Huntington Apartments in 1922, and was converted to a hotel by real estate developer Eugene Fritz, who bought the property in 1924. Fritz' grandchildren ran the hotel until selling it in 2011 to Singapore-based Grace International. The hotel closed on January 4, 2014 and reopened in May 2014 as The Scarlet Huntington, following a $15 million renovation.
On the left is the steeple from Grace Cathedral, an Episcopal cathedral on Nob Hill, San Francisco, California.
The cathedral is famed for its mosaics, a replica of Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise, two labyrinths, varied stained glass windows, medieval and contemporary furnishings, as well as its forty-four bell carillon, three organs, and choirs.
In the background can be seen the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito hills on a foggy afternoon.
Please note that the FINE ART AMERICA watermark will not appear on the final print! :)
