Beautiful old building. Rooms were pretty and bed was really comfortable. I liked that they had different pillows to choose from. In the evening they had a lovely wine reception with an amazing spread of appetizers. The complimentary morning breakfast was excellent also. Lovely neighborhood and close to the presidio. It’s at the top of Pacific Heights, so you will have to go down some steep hills to get to nearby restaurants. The good news is, you can get a Waymo!

Every time we visit San Francisco we stay at Hotel Drisco. Everything about it is exquisite. The only negative is their gym isn't great (but still better than most !) but they make up for it by having access to the JCC. If you have time, you should go to the JCC. Great facility and the pool is wonderful.

The location is beautiful and quiet The glassware in China in the room is lovely quality My only negative comment would be that I wish the guest closet could accommodate an evening gown. It just wasn’t tall enough. But I used the hook in the bathroom meant for the robes. Not ideal but it worked.

I love this hotel so much, not only because we got married the weekend we stayed here but I was just honestly blown away by the entire property and service we received. This hotel is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in!! The suite was just so perfect and clean. The complimentary items from the fresh fruit plate to the Carmel popcorn, I was in awe. I would stay here again and again because of the staff; every person was so welcoming and said hello. The bellman Francis was the absolute sweetest and so so helpful, he’s fantastic. This is my favorite hotel in San Francisco and I will only ever stay here when in the city again. 10/10!

Classic American 5 star hotel that we cannot get from Ritz or Four Seasons any more. Definitely the most beautiful location in SF on top of the Pacific Heights. Very private yet their high level of courtesy and service makes it easy for active well heeled guests. Great breakfast - nothing greasy. Great amenities. Super clean. One of the best hotels we have stayed comparable to special places in Paris, London, Switzerland. Rooms with views are highly recommended.

We LOVED Hotel Drisco for our girls trip. We were greeted very warmly upon our arrival. Our room was very clean, extremely comfortable bed, nice view of the city skyline, and most importantly for us...it was very peaceful and quiet. Our favorite part about the stay was the lovely breakfast that was brought to our room each morning. There was a wide selection of options to choose from, and we started our days very well fed. The vintage ambiance was a wonderful change from other modern accommodation options, and the hotel was very obviously well cared for. We would love to return to this property in the near future!

Special boutique hotel. Every detail was thought through. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Shout out to Victor at the front desk, who was sensitive to my need to get on a Zoom call prior to my room readiness due to my early arrival. He offered an area that was ideal until my room was available.
