Reviews for Kimpton Sir Francis Drake Hotel
A grand hotel!
Really is a grand hotel! Lovely, comfy rooms with all the mod cons but with the added history. Excellent location right by Union square and a healthy 30 mins walk to pier 39, just pack walking shoes! Good eateries nearby but starlight lounge on 21st floor has some amazing views as well as yummy cocktails!

A Classic in SF
A classice hotel with accouterments to match. Great drinks at the Post Room and Starlite, on the rooftop, is a special place and hot spot. Great Hotel!

Great location!
Love the recent remodel and great location near Union Square and walking distance to Chinatown. Rooms and bathrooms are small as this is historic hotel, previously Sir Francis Drake but rooms are Stylish and Clean. Some city noise like police or ambulance and the streetcars run on Powell, but didn’t bother us. Doorman keeps property exclusive.

History, Location, and Killer Bar/Restaurant
Beautiful old (but completely tastefully renovated) half a block from Union Square. Rooms quite nice, bar drinks and scene upscale and fun. Absolutely stunned by how good the food/menu was-there is a chef as passionate and talented as any other in the City-star(s) or no star!

Superb location and ambiance
This was a return trip for us to Beacon and there is a reason why. The location is excellent, just up from Union Square and directly on a trolley line. The ambiance is amazing, and the hotel is gorgeous! You will not be disappointed in the vaulted ceilings and vintage features in this historic building. The lobby bar Post Room has a stunning high ceiling, fireplace, paneling, and features live piano music. The drinks are excellent and the bartender Edwin was engaging and personable. The hotel rooms feature a very comfortable king size bed and have ample room, even in a standard. My only suggestion might be earplugs if street noise is bothersome. I actually enjoy the trolley dings, but my husband does not. The hotel staff was welcoming and helpful. You can text with the hosts to ask questions or make requests during your stay. Every employee we encountered was friendly, offered suggestions of things to do in the area, and helped to facilitate transportation as needed.
