Lovely stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We booked the suite and had a lovely view of the bay and surrounding area. It is located in Pacific Heights and the surrounding area is unique. Be sure to take a walk in the area. Lyon Street matches Lombard in many ways. It is also adjacent to the Presidio, and you can make a morning run through this unique landscape. Staff was pleasant and helpful. We can’t wait for a return trip. It is on the expensive side but in my opinion well worth the cost.

A classy hotel off the beaten path on the quiet summit of Pacific Heights
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Though off the beaten path and far removed from the touristy areas, the Hotel Drisco is situated on the summit of the Pacific Heights neighborhood smack dab in a quiet residential area of multi-million dollar homes. Adorned with vintage furnishings, the accommodations were comfortable and charming and definitely four star quality as advertised. Expecting a typical all inclusive "continental breakfast" fare, we were quite surprised by the extensive offerings of fresh squeezed OJ, coffeees, teas, pastries, bagles, oatmeal, signature jellies, and fruit provided in an elegant front parlor on a daily basis. My wife and I consider ourselves to be seasoned travelers and I must confess that the conceirge service from the front desk staff (Elizabeth & Bob) was the best we’ve experienced. Always pleasant and extremely helpful, their recommendations were dead on and much appreciated. Our only criticism would be that getting around from that location required calling a cab or walking a few blocks to get public transportation...and walking meant traversing the hills of San Francisco which qualifies as a cardio workout.

One of the Best
We hadn’t been to San Francisco for over 20 years, since our honeymoon, and so were eager to see it again as part of a week long Northern California trip. This was our first time at the Drisco, and the best way I can describe it is my wife’s comment - "Why can’t all our hotels be like this one?". It had the pefect blend of size (not too big or impersonal) and style (almost like stepping back to a kinder, gentler time). Ideal location in the Pacific Heights area with amazing homes located all around. A strong recommendation for people wanting quality over quantity.
Traveller's tip on recreational activities
Remember to walk around the neighbourhood. There are some great streets with interesting shops, parks, cafes and restaurants within a 15 min walk of the hotel, all ’real’ places, far away from the commerciality of Fisherman’s Wharf.
