Nob Hill is a neighborhood of San Francisco, California, United States[4][5] that is known for its numerous luxury hotels and historic mansions. Nob Hill has historically served as a center of San Francisco's upper class. Nob Hill is among the highest-income neighborhoods in the United States, as well as one of the most desirable and expensive real estate markets in the country.[6][7][8][9] Prior to Covid-19, it was the most expensive real estate market per metre squared, narrowly beating Monte Carlo, although it has since fallen heavily.[10][11] It was the only place in the United States so far where market price per square metre exceeded the average yearly salary in the country ($72 400).

Nob Hill is a luxury destination in San Francisco, owing to its numerous Michelin-starred restaurants,[12] boutiques, cultural institutions, art galleries, and historic landmarks.[13][14] The neighborhood is named after one of San Francisco's original "Seven Hills" and it contains the Lower Nob Hill Apartment Hotel District (also known as Lower Nob Hill).
