The Huntington Resort on Nob Hill, which most not too long ago had been rebranded as the Huntington once again immediately after shelling out 4 yrs as the Scarlet Huntington Hotel, is now closed until eventually more see along with its longtime cafe, Massive 4.
The purpose appears to be economical, and most likely a hangover from the pandemic.
As Bay Spot Information Group experiences, the house is going through foreclosures and paperwork submitted very last thirty day period suggest that its owners are in default on a $56.2 million from Deutsche Lender in New York. The documents had been filed August 16 at the San Francisco County Recorder’s Office environment.
Los Angeles-dependent Woodridge Capital acquired the 136-place lodge in 2018 for a documented $51.9 million, so the added $4.3 million on the mortgage may have been for renovations?
The default notice from Deutsche Bank says that Woodridge Money, or its affiliate, currently owes them a full of $61.1 million including charges and penalties.
A notice on the hotel web page states, “Thank you for going to the historic Huntington Lodge. Make sure you take note that Nob Hill Spa, Massive 4 Cafe, and Huntington Lodge will all keep on being shut until further more notice.”
Bay Spot Information Group also notes that the San Francisco Tax Collector “has lodged a observe of a tax lien versus the assets, in accordance to a filing posted on Sept. 9.”
The lodge had been scheduled to reopen for company Oct 1 (2021?), and the web-site indicates a host of COVID security protocols, while it is not very clear that it ever reopened all through the pandemic at all. Some Redditors have been complaining in Could that they had present certificates for the Nob Hill Spa that they haven’t been in a position to use. And the hotel’s Fb page very last had a publishing about the approaching wedding time in early 2021.
The hotel started existence in 2022 as an apartment making, and was quickly converted into a lodge in 1924. It can be named for Collis Potter Huntington, the railroad magnate and just one of the “Major Four” of western railroads alongside with Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins (for whom the close by lodge is named), and Charles Crocker. The hotel sits across the road from Huntington Park, which is on the web page of Collis Huntington’s previous mansion — which was joined atop Nob Hill by Crocker’s mansion, on the web-site of what is actually now Grace Cathedral, and Hopkins’s mansion, in which the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins now stands. The only remaining mansion of the team is the previous James Flood Mansion developed in 1886, now the Pacific Union Club, future to Huntington Park. It was developed by famous area architect Willis Polk.
As Bay Place News Team notes, the 12-story Huntington Resort was briefly identified in the 1920s as the tallest steel and brick structure west of the Mississippi.
