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

DK Eyewitness "Perched at the top of the glamorous Pacific Heights neighborhood, Hotel Drisco offers stately accomodation, perfect for business travelers and tourists."
