Kimpton Sir Francis Drake Hotel

We had stayed at the Beacon Grand 4 years ago and loved it so this visit to San Francisco we didn't look at any other hotels. The location just off Union Square is perfect. The rooms are spacious, staff extremely helpful, cleanliness exceptional and the bed and pillows very comfortable. Being British we requested a kettle and this was supplied promptly! The hanging space is very small but hanging rails are available. The rail was suggested 4 years ago year by the porter so we asked for one this time again supplied promptly. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Great location but that’s about it! Really you just pay a lot of money to be where you are. The room I stayed in had light bulbs that were out, the paint wasn’t too appealing, there was a power outlet that was out in the bathroom. I asked the front desk for two wine glasses right when we checked in and never received them at all after being told they’d send some right up. Overall just way over priced. Even for San Fransisco.

The hotel was a historic building. Small rooms but comfortable. Nice bar at the roof top. The location was very central to union square and a lot of restaurants and bars around the hotel.

This is our fourth time staying at the Beacon Grand. Staff is amazing, rooms are clean and we love the Starlite lounge on the 21st floor. Can’t wait to visit again in October!

Lovely time in San Francisco - always had a great time overall. Thank you for taking good care of my partner for his birthday. The Starlight Room was fun, but wasn’t the same without the dancing. Hoping to be back next time and there will be!
