Nob Hill Lambourne Hotel

For this luxurious and intimate hotel, the name says it all: the Nob Hill Lambourne. Centrally located on a residential street just one block from each of the cable car lines and Chinatown, this tranquil hideaway and urban retreat is perched atop beautiful Nob Hill and just steps from the financial district and Union Square's high-end shopping and entertainment. With just 20 guestrooms, the Nob Hill Lambourne guarantees a unique San Francisco lodging experience, and the proof is in the numerous guests who have returned to the hotel throughout the years. In fact, concierges are so knowledgeable about this magical City by the Bay that they wrote their own guide to the city's sights and sounds, especially the hidden ones often overlooked by out-of-towners and novices. Patrons will enjoy complimentary continental breakfasts, evening wine receptions and room service from Dine-One-One. The hotel doesn't have its own eatery, but guests will find dozens of area exquisite dining options synonymous with San Francisco. The Nob Hill Lambourne offers apartment-sized guest rooms and suites. The understated elegance of their contemporary French décor combined with the comfort of hand-sewn and Egyptian mattresses, down comforters and pillows, luxurious linens and deep- soaking bathtubs assure very relaxing and decadent getaways. Guestrooms feature kitchenettes and work areas with desks, two-line phones, voice mail, fax machines and complimentary high-speed Internet connections. The entire staff is environmentally friendly. From the Asian-inspired massage room, organic minibars and healthy continental breakfasts to the turn-down vitamins and chemical-free cleaning products, the Nob Hill Lambourne's staff is dedicated to creating a holistic environment that promotes healthy living and environmentally sound business practices.
