The Nob Hill Gazette is a regional monthly magazine founded in 1978 by San Francisco businessman and socialite Gardner Mein, who operated the title until 1986.[1] The magazine, which provides a people-focused account of San Francisco culture, philanthropy and accomplishment, is home-delivered to San Francisco's most exclusive neighborhoods, including Pacific Heights, Nob Hill, Seacliff, Russian Hill, the Marina and others.[2]

From 1986 until 2016, the magazine was owned and published by Lois Lehrman, the magazine's former advertising director and longtime fixture on the San Francisco social scene.[3] The magazine flourished under Lehrman's ownership, becoming the publication-of-record for high-society gatherings and marquee charitable events in San Francisco with editor Merla Zellerbach at the helm for more than a decade.[4]

After 30 years at the helm, Lehrman sold the title to San Francisco businessman Clint Reilly in 2016.[5] The magazine was joined in the Clint Reilly Communications stable by Gentry Magazine[6] in September, 2020, and the San Francisco Examiner[7] and SF Weekly[8] in December, 2020.

Along with timely coverage of high-profile charitable and social events, the magazine features long-form interviews, profiles of local luminaries, stories on fashion, health, beauty, money, real estate, travel, food and wine.[9]
