Rough Guide "The most famous of Nob Hill’s landmark hotels... fantastic views from the rooms."
Michelin Guide "This queen of the city retains a traditional charm."
Concierge "Rooms... in the original building have high ceilings and a rich sense of place, but not all have views; rooms in the vintage-1961 tower have jaw-dropping vistas yet feel more generic."
Fodor's "Amenities and special services (including... a newly crafted Intersect Media Lounge complete with multiplayer Guitar Hero and Wii Golf) keep loyal guests coming back." Full review
Insight Guides "You are greeted by a warm welcome, and an elegant atmosphere extends throughout, except perhaps at the tropical-themed Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar."
Oyster Luxury
"The Fairmont combines the history, cachet, and decor of a turn-of-the-20th-century grand old dame with the amenities, technology, and corporate-dominated clientele of a large chain property." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Famous for its gorgeous lobby and opulent public rooms, the Fairmont is the grandest of all the grand hotels at the top of Nob Hill."
Star Service "This remains the most commercial of the once elite Nob Hill hotels, but it is also the most impressive." Full review

Rough Guide "Certain rooms and suites... boast spectacular city views, and overall the place feels a bit like a farmhouse dropped into the city."
Michelin Guide "Hotel Drisco is the preferred choice for travelers who want to leave the crowded spots behind and sample a taste of how the other half lives."

Be sure to spend a little quiet time in the Sitting Room, where coffee and tea are always brewing and scrumptious handmade biscotti make an appearance every afternoon.
Frommer's "On one of the most sought-after blocks of residential property in all of San Francisco, the Drisco, built in 1903, is one of the city's best small hotels." Full review
Fodor's "Pretend you're a resident of one of the wealthiest residential neighborhoods in San Francisco at this understated, elegant 1903 Edwardian hotel." Full review
Lonely Planet "We love the architecture, attentive service and fresh, spiffy rooms, with their elegantly simple decor... for a real boutique hotel, it's hard to beat." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Perched at the top of the glamorous Pacific Heights neighborhood, Hotel Drisco offers stately accomodation, perfect for business travelers and tourists."
Time Out "It might be yet another in the seemingly endless list of Joie de Vivre properties around town, but this hotel has actually been in business for over a century." Full review
Star Service "Guests returning to this hotel, located at Broderick, one block east of Divisadero and two blocks west of the Presidio, jealously guard what is perhaps the best-kept secret in the city." Full review

Request a south-facing unit for the best natural light.
Gayot "Pacific Heights is the "gold coast" of San Francisco, a desirable address where colorful mansions both modern and old-school stand side by side."
BlackBook "Mad dogs, Englishmen, Ashley Judd and notable variety of upper-crusts make 1903 Drisco their home-away-from-mansion."
