Hotel Drisco

I am in SF often and have made The Drisco my home away from home. The property is small but elegant. The rooms and amenities are luxe without being over the top—bedding, pillows, and towels are of the best quality. The complimentary full breakfast and cocktail hour replete with delish small bites and lovely wine pairings are not to be missed. But it’s the staff that’s the cherry on top: professional, friendly, helpful and as accommodating as you could hope for. I gave up on the Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton about 5 years ago and have never looked back. The Drisco is always my destination of choice when a stay in SF is required.

My lovely bride and I stayed at the Hotel Drisco for a week in May 2025. We travel quite often and, after just a few days, we agreed that this was easily one of the best hotels we've ever stayed in. It is a beautiful Edwardian-style hotel with 44 guest rooms, built in 1903 and extensively renovated in 2017. Our guest room was tastefully appointed, with lovely views of the city. There are wonderful and thoughtful amenities: an excellent selection of breakfast choices, a generous wine reception in the afternoon, a nightly turndown service offering dark chocolate shortbread cookies (omg), a heated bathroom floor, Bulgari bath products, and even a menu offering a selection of pillow types. One of my favorite things about the guest room was that all of the windows open easily to allow in nightly breezes from the Bay. The service is simply impeccable. The hotel management and staff clearly love this place, and so did we. At the end of our stay, my bride said we will be returning to the Hotel Drisco next year and every year.

One of my all time favorite hotels in the world! Perfection in service and comfort. Great location and the amenities are incredible. We love this hotel!

A perfect stay for out family! Everything from the comfort and quiet of the guest room, the amenities and the food was impeccable. Breakfast is included, and it is LOVELY. The cocktail hour is also included and very nice, especially as a light meal one day when we’d had a big lunch. It’s a high-end hotel, but a great value for the quality and what’s included. The Pacific Heights location is also very convenient for just anout anything in SF

I can't say enough good things about this boutique hotel—it's truly a hidden gem tucked into one of San Francisco's most elegant neighborhoods. Surrounded by posh residences and world-class shopping, the location alone is worth the stay. But what really sets this place apart is the thoughtful hospitality and elevated experience. The daily happy hour is a standout—generous enough to pass for dinner, with high-quality bites and perfectly curated wine and cocktail options. It’s the kind of experience that makes you want to linger in the lounge and unwind like a local. Mornings start with a robust breakfast spread, offering everything from fresh fruit and pastries to hot options that go far beyond your standard continental fare. Throughout the day, guests can enjoy fresh coffee, tea, and cookies—a small touch, but one that makes a big impression and adds to the overall warmth of the place. The vibe is upscale yet intimate, stylish without being pretentious. Whether you're in town for shopping, sightseeing, or just a luxurious weekend escape, this hotel delivers on every front. Highly recommended—I’ll definitely be back.
