Kimpton Sir Francis Drake Hotel, San Francisco

Treat yourself to a stay at the Drake. Absolutely everything you’d expect

Nothing shy of perfect. Had wanted to stay here for many years. Classic Beauty!!!

Very helpful and friendly staff. Beautiful hotel.

Amazing location and history. the very small restrooms were cramp. the showerhead was the loudest noisiest I have ever heard. The Lobby bar closes at the discretion of the bartender and that makes no sense

This location was SO GOOD. As was the service. We also loved our room. When I booked this hotel, I was torn between this one and another, and I'm SO glad I chose Sir Francis Drake! We were able to walk every that was important to us (Curran Theater, Japantown, Fisherman's Wharf, Ferry Market, etc.), plus it was SUPER convenient to the Powell St. station. Our main reason for this trip was for the Harry Potter plays, and this was super close to the Curran Theater. The trip was for my husband's birthday, and the staff sent up a bottle of prosecco, two bottles of sparkling water, and a DELICIOUS, golden devil's food cupcake—on the house! Honestly, this hotel exceeded my expectations. The negatives I saw others leave before were non-existent or only minor inconveniences. Yes, there's an amenity fee and we, like many others, did not use the amenities. But this fee was clearly marked on hotels.com since the beginning, so we were expecting it and factored it into the overall cost. Yes, the toilet is oddly close to one wall. We are both larger people and it wasn't an actual problem. Yes, San Francisco is a loud city, and you can occasionally hear street noise—that's just how cities like this are in my experience. The hotel was lovely, the staff was even lovelier, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to someone. SUCH a great pick for our Harry Potter and the Cursed Child weekend and my favorite trip to San Fran ever, in large part due to this hotel.
