SF’s most expensive Airbnb listing is becoming a hotel and French restaurant
San Francisco's historic Payne Mansion, formerly a $10,000-per-night Airbnb booking in San Francisco's Western Addition, is becoming a hotel called the Mansion on Sutter, and within it will be a new restaurant called the 1881 — all set to debut this fall.
The restaurant's name is a reference to the year the Payne Mansion was built by Theodore Payne, a horticulturalist born in England who moved to California. It is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
Before embarking on its transformation into a hotel and restaurant, the property languished on the market for the last few years, its price fluctuating between $12 million and $13.9 million. It was taken over by Southern California hospitality entrepreneur Bernard Rosenson earlier this year.
