Kimpton Sir Francis Drake Hotel

It's rare to find a hotel that can strike the perfect balance between vintage charm and modern amenities. In fact, I think we've always had to choose one or the other when we come to SF (and we come a lot!). Beacon Grand was the first hotel that balanced both beautifully. We will certainly be back again. one thing, house keeping never came during our stay (and yes, we made sure to take our DND sign off the door handle). We recognize that times are hard right now and many people are experiencing short staffing so we figured it was that. We just really love/appreciate coming back to a nice clean room and a freshly made bed when we are traveling! So that was a tiny bummer. But otherwise it was a truly incredible stay and we can't wait to visit again.

It's a fantastic location for such a genteel hotel. It is well maintained and clean. The staff is professional and courteous

Great stay. Angelo, and Anson were stand outs that made our trip and stay enjoyable. Amazing hotel with great rooms, food, drinks, and staff.

Whilst it had a grand reception, i had to change rooms 3 times. The first room, floor 12, the room was way to small (you would not be able to open a suitcase in it), the second room was on floor 19, which although more spacious was very loud as they have a bar that’s open till 2am on the 21st floor, if you are sensitive to noise it is not suitable as there are very obvious thuds. I was then moved to floor 17, which was not much better, you could still hear the thuds only just a tiny bit quieter. In general the rooms are standard but not sound proof in the slightest (you can hear coughs from next door, city noises etc.).

Beautiful hotel. Short walk to transit with a trolley stop right out front. In a very hilly area so walking is a workout so just take the trolley. Very clean hotel and area. zero issues at all. Rooms comfy and well appointed. Bathroom was small but comfortable
