PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Queen Anne Hotel is a four-story 1890 Victorian mansion on Sutter Street in Pacific Heights, built as a girls' finishing school and operating as a boutique hotel since 1982. Each of the 48 rooms is individually decorated with Victorian antiques, period artwork, and bay windows that look out over the neighborhood's painted ladies. The parlor is genuine, with roaring fireplaces, a baby grand piano, and afternoon tea and sherry served daily. The California Street cable car is a 10-minute walk. The building's history runs deeper than its decor: the headmistress of the original school, Miss Mary Lake, is said to still occupy Room 410.OWNER STORY
The Queen Anne Hotel is a privately owned Victorian mansion on Sutter Street that has operated as a boutique hotel since 1982, without a management company, brand affiliation, or outside capital. The 1890 building, originally a girls' finishing school that survived the 1906 earthquake, has been independently operated in a way that honors its architecture and character. The parlor with its baby grand piano, afternoon tea and sherry service, and rooms decorated with Victorian antiques are not a design concept overlaid on an old building but a reflection of ownership that has stayed close to what the place actually is.Ind
