The Holbrook House, San Francisco
Guests can literally flip a switch for tableside martini or champagne service at the Holbrook House: one of the hot spots on the San Francisco Travel Association’s new San Francisco Martini Trail. From the grand, Calacatta Oro-capped bar to the intimate upholstered dining booths, the sumptuous interiors by Jeff Schlarb Design Studio display a mood board of classic materiality to reinterpret the Old World for contemporary times.
