Reviews for Kimpton Sir Francis Drake Hotel
Great hotel
Clean with great amenities. I didn't find the surrounding area to be particularly walkable, but felt safe and had more than I needed inside the grounds.

A step above the rest!
Beacon Grand is a special place, unlike any other hotel. Beautiful decor, excellent bars and restaurant, luxurious in room amenities, great location.

engagement party
We recently hosted an event at the Beacon Grand in the Napoleon and Busby Rooms, and it couldn’t have been better. The space was elegant, the staff attentive, and every detail was handled flawlessly. A special shoutout to Alex, the Bellman, who was an absolute superstar—warm, professional, and always a step ahead. The Beacon Grand perfectly captures classic San Francisco charm and top-tier hospitality. Highly recommend for any event or stay!

Clean and nice !!!
Clean and nice hotel within downtown, at nigh some noise will be there due to lot of construction activities going around in downtown, which is of course out of control of hotel administration.

Great location, great staff
The location is great (an easy walk to Moscone Center) and the building is stunning, it has kept all the old grandeur while also staying modern. Front desk, housekeeping, and the bell staff were all very helpful, I have no complaints about my stay.
