NH Palihotel San Francisco 02
NH Elizabeth Unique Venice 02
NH Le Petit Pali At 8Th Ave 02

Historic bones, California cool, and oysters with ice-cold martinis: this Union Square hideaway knows how to do city stays.

Immerse yourself in an ancient palazzo set on the water in a Venetian neighborhood shaped by residents not tourism.

Stay in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea, where white-sand beaches, storybook streets, and a design-minded inn await.
