Kimpton Sir Francis Drake

This playful hotel is located on the corner of Union Square placing guests in the heart of downtown San Francisco, within easy reach of the city’s best shopping, bars and restaurants. What sets this hotel apart is the regal and retro theme that has made it a unique fixture amongst San Francisco hotels. From the beefeater doormen to the Italian renaissance furnishings, everything about this hotel is just a little bit over-the-top. Each evening the hotel management host a complimentary wine hour during which guests can meet and mingle. For a fun and frolicking night out, take the lift up to the 21st floor and the hotel’s rooftop bar, the Starlight Lounge. Here you can take in fantastic cityscape views and enjoy a candlelit meal in a romantic and intimate setting of crushed red velvet and gold panelled walls. Keep an eye on the events calendar: Sundays are host to a playful drag brunch and in the evenings DJ’s set the tone on the decks. Rooms continue the Italianate feel of the hotel with jewel tones and designer furniture while accommodating lots of modern amenities. Enjoy a stay in the heart of the city at this intriguing and fun hotel.
