Why stay at a hotel when you can stay at a legend? Combining historic, Renaissance-influenced architectural splendor that includes an opulent lobby, sky-high ceilings and a sweeping staircase begging for grand entrances, Kimpton Sir Francis Drake is where vintage glamour and the ideal Union Square location intersect.

We had a great stay at the Beacon Grand Hotel in San Francisco! Jojit was extremely friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. Alex was also great and helped bring all of our belongings up to our room, which we really appreciated. Both of them provided excellent customer service and made our experience even better. Thank you, Jojit and Alex!

The location is prime, the atmosphere is elegant and historic, and my room was super cute - on a corner with an incredible view on two sides. It was sort of pricey, but you get what you pay for. Finally, the service was stellar. From the front desk at check-in to the staff at the restaurant, they made me feel valued and appreciated.

We loved the atmosphere of the hotel. It was both upscale and relaxing. Leif, one of the manager's, was friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. The Library was a nicely appointed room for a small post-wedding dinner and the staff was attentive. We really enjoyed our stay at the Beacon Grand.
