Nob Hill Holiday Packages

Holidays To Nob Hill

San Francisco's got 44 hills, and Nob Hill sure is one. Its name actually refers to the term "nabob", 19th-century slang for the industrialists who founded the neighbourhood.

Basically, the name means the area is posh, and that's just as true today as it was 150 years ago. Nice hotels. Gorgeous parks. Stylish boutiques. Plenty of historical sites to see. When you’re ready to taste the finer things in life, our Nob Hill holiday packages let you peek into a super-swanky world.

Things to Do in Nob Hill

Anyone who's ever been on a San Francisco holiday knows that you don't need an auto to get around. Public transportation includes buses, taxis, metro lines and even cable cars. But if you plan on extending your trip to, say, wine country or heading down south to catch some surf, you might want to look into a Nob Hill car rental. You'd probably want one anyway after scaling the incline's steep slope. Still, Nob Hill holidays wouldn't be complete without a narrated walking tour of the area, and at least one departs daily from the San Francisco Cable Car Museum. Check out the museum itself for some background on San Fran's iconic cars (admission is free). The culturally inclined should stop by Shakris, a gallery of Asian art that includes pieces from China, Japan and India. Are you an architecture nerd? Grace Cathedral definitely deserves a visit. Guides provide detailed explanations about the church's past, and its south tower affords a striking view of the city. Venture beyond the neighbourhood's confines to see some of San Francisco's most famous sights, such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and Golden Gate Park.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Book one of our Nob Hill deals and get ready to shop till you drop. Neighbourhood retailers here offer niche books, British tea-time staples, Asian imports and designer knickknacks. Russian Hill, which lies just to the north, has a few more options, including locally produced stationery, jewellery boutiques, casual ladies' wear and candy from all across the globe. Not enough options for you? Head to Union Square, San Francisco's central shopping district, for more luxury goods than you can shake a stick at.

You don't have to worry about going hungry while enjoying one of our Nob Hill packages, as the area is stuffed with worthy restaurants. California Street has excellent pizza, big steaks and Vietnamese food, while Polk Street provides New York-style deli fare, Thai and Korean barbecue. Throw the French, Italian, German and Belgian cuisine available in Russian Hill into the mix, and you won't have a problem satisfying even the most ravenous appetite.

Nightlife in Nob Hill runs the gamut from sleek to no-frills to downright crazy. Want a high-end lounge? Head to Post Street. Looking for a local watering hole with free popcorn? Cruise Hyde Street. How about a bar modelled after a log cabin with a nine-foot-tall faux Sasquatch peering down at you? Polk Street is the place for you.
