A Career-Defining Opportunity for a Human Resources Leader- The Huntington – San Francisco's Living Legacy and Urban Estate on Nob Hill

The opening of The Huntington marks the reemergence of a Nob Hill icon, the first luxury hotel debut in San Francisco since 2022 and a defining moment in the city's renaissance. With renewed investment in culture, dining, and hospitality, San Francisco is actively restoring its place on the global stage. For the elite leader, this is a singular invitation to set the global standard for luxury and shape the future of hospitality in one of the world's most storied destinations.

At The Huntington, nearly a century of heritage and modern elegance converge in a reimagined urban estate envisioned by a world-class designer. The hotel will stand as San Francisco's cultural connoisseur, offering gracious accommodations, a signature restaurant, and the city's most luxurious spa.

To join this landmark opening is to take part in a milestone moment : setting the standard for ultra-luxury hospitality in San Francisco for a new generation. This project is being realized through a partnership between Highgate, a global leader in hospitality management and real estate investment, and Flynn Properties, one of San Francisco's most respected developers.
