"It is an odd thing, but every one who disappears is said to be seen at San Francisco. It must be a delightful city, and possess all the attractions of the next world." ...Oscar Wilde
From facilitating romantic proposals and planning encore weddings to plotting the perfect picnic and arranging a sunset cruise around the Bay, the Concierge at the Huntington Hotel & Nob Hill Spa knows no request too large or detail too small. Every interaction, and plan, is infused with that San Francisco charm.
