Lower Nob Hill Apartment Hotel District

The Lower Nob Hill Apartment Hotel District is a historic district located in downtown San Francisco, California, in an area that sits between the Nob Hill and Tenderloin neighborhoods. It covers roughly a five-block stretch on the southern slope of Nob Hill, but due to its location between California Street (Nob Hill's southern border) and Geary Street (the Tenderloin's northern border), the district is often considered part of downtown San Francisco. The area is sometimes referred to as 'Tendernob,' a colloquial term that reflects the blending of the two neighborhoods, and is also commonly called 'Lower Nob Hill' by real estate agents and developers to market properties in this transitional zone.

The Lower Nob Hill Apartment Hotel District is officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a California Historical Landmark due to its architectural significance and its role in the social history of San Francisco. The district features many early 20th-century apartment hotels that were once home to middle-class residents and now reflect the architectural styles of that era. Though historically linked to Nob Hill, its location closer to downtown and the Tenderloin gives the district a unique, transitional identity between the two neighborhoods.
