In a city famous for its hills, Nob Hill is the most famous—"the symbolic nexus of all old California money and power". Its center is California and Mason, where the grand hotels The Fairmont, Mark Hopkins and the Huntington look down on the city.

Huntington Park's formal lawns are behind the Pacific Union Club, the former mansion of James C. Flood and the only remaining original mansion that survived the 1906 fire. Grace Cathedral features the St. Francis of Assisi's Canticle of the Sun stained glass window, as well as quilts from the Names Project. Restaurants and shops complete the Nob Hill standard of comfortable elegance.
