Hotel Drisco
$$-$$$, Pacific Heights
Fodor's Review:
Pretend you're a resident of one of the wealthiest and most beautiful residential neighborhoods in San Francisco at this understated, elegant 1903 Edwardian hotel. The quiet haven serves as a celebrity hideaway from time to time, welcoming stars such as Ethan Hawke and Ashley Judd. Genteel furnishings and luxury amenities grace pale-yellow-and-white rooms, some of which have sweeping city views. Morning newspaper, plush robes, slippers, and nightly turndown service are included. A free breakfast is offered in a sunny, spacious room, and wine is set out each evening in a lovely room off the lobby. The hotel's staff, according to some guests, are uncommonly friendly and helpful, especially by big-city standards.

Peace and quiet in Pacific Heights
Posted by mjpbaf from Washington, D.C. on 3/18/07
The Hotel Drisco is a warm, comfortable neighborhood hotel with small, but well-planned rooms. Its neither plush nor high-end luxury, but it is cozy, quiet and charming. The rooms are well-thought out and everything you might need is considered (the bedside radio has pre-set stations, the bathroom has Aveda products and a thoughtful basket of bath supplies for purchase, etc.). The free breakfast is enjoyable, and the dining room is light-filled and relaxing. Overall, the effect is like being in a B&B in a quiet neighborhood. And what a neighborhood it is: Pacific Heights is one of the priciest, and loveliest neighborhoods in San Francisco and it was a real delight to live among the splendor of the million-dollar homes in this area, if only for one night. This is by no means a high-design business hotel for a fast-paced visit to the City by the Bay. This is a relaxed, welcoming residential retreat for people who want to be away from the usual hustle and bustle of San Francisco. If youre looking for peace, quiet and comfort, this hotel is a good choice.
