I absolutely loved our experience at Hotel Drisco. It is located in a gorgeous and quiet Pacific Heights neighborhood on top of the hill, providing beautiful views from the room. The gym was well equipped and modern, the breakfast was delicious, the lounge facilities were very cozy. There is a lot of attention to detail: fruit water in the lobby, which is being constantly refreshed, delicious coffee in the lobby available 24/7, complementary wine hour, fantastic pillow menu, very thoughtful amenities in the room. The carpets are due to be replaced, but they were kept very clean. I would absolutely stay there again.

Hospitality and the experience was incredible. A very different experience from the major hotels in SF. The wine reception was truly enjoyable. Walking distance to shops and restaurants in Pacific Heights.

This is an absolute gem of a hotel. Located in a residential area- quiet, walking distance or short Uber to any needed amenities. The thing that stands out is the attention to details- the room was so comfortable, the evening wine and cheese wonderful, and the morning breakfast so good. One of the best hotels we have stayed out travelling.

This hotel is one of the best we have stayed in our many years of traveling. Even though we are local to SF, we stayed here for our anniversary. And what a great choice. It is located in a beautiful neighborhood in pacific heights with view of the Golden Gate Bridge. The rooms are gorgeous and thoughtfully furnished with everything you could want from fabulous sheets, to nice robes, to great amenities. They have a wine hour that has glorious food and the breakfast is terrific and ample. We love this place and will return over and over. It is truly a gem.

Not only was the Hotel Drisco luxurious, the service was impeccable, the suite was absolute luxury (we didn't want to leave the room!), the breakfasts were fantastic, and the afternoon wine gatherings were superb. Luxury does not begin to describe the experience. The only drawback is that I now will never want to stay anywhere else in San Francisco.

We recently stayed at the Hotel Drisco and it was one of the most enjoyable stays I've ever had at a hotel. This extremely quaint hotel is located on a beautiful street and the hotel staff was particularly nice. The next time I'm in San Francisco, I'll be staying at the Drisco a hotel that captures the grace and charm of Europe.
