    The paper considers the so called homogeneous polar foliations of the \(n\)-dimensional complex hyperbolic space \(\mathbb CH^n:=\mathrm{SU}(1,n)/\mathrm{S}(\mathrm{U}(1)\mathrm{U}(n)), (n \geq 2)\) which is equipped with the Bergman metric normalized so that the holomorphic sectional curvature is equal to \(-1\). Recall that a proper isometric action of a connected Lie group \(G\) on a complete Riemannian manifold \(M\) is called polar if there exists a connected closed submanifold \(\mathcal S\) of \(M\) such that \(\mathcal S\) meets each orbit of the action and \(\mathcal S\) intersects each orbit orthogonally. If the family of \(G\)-orbits of the polar action forms a foliation then that foliation is called a homogeneous polar foliation of \(M\). For \(M=\mathbb CH^n:=\mathrm{SU}(1,n)/\mathrm{S}(\mathrm{U}(1)\mathrm{U}(n)), (n \geq 2)\), the authors prove that there are exactly \(2n+1\), up to isometric congruence, homogeneous polar foliations of \(\mathbb CH^n\). Moreover, they also describe explicitly these foliations.
