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."
i
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."

Michelin Guide "Restored with European charm, your home-away-from-home here comes with a featherbed and down comforter, a cozy robe and soft slippers, and a marble bath with a rain showerhead."
Concierge "Inside an iconic, 100-year-old columned Nob Hill landmark, the Ritz-Carlton is San Francisco's most formal luxury hotel."
i
Because of the building's historic status, hotel designers weren't allowed to make major structural alterations when the hotel opened in 1991, so each room is different in size and shape: Plan to spend time with the reservationist to choose the right one for you.
Fodor's "A stunning tribute to beauty and attentive, professional service." Full review
Lonely Planet "Expensive hotels usually look it, but the Ritz-Carlton is off the charts. With its palatial, white-columned demeanor, it more closely resembles a city hall or a Greco-Roman monument." Full review

"Everything you'd expect from a Ritz... all in the ritziest of San Francisco neighborhoods." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Fresh from a makeover (good-bye chintz, hello earth-toned geometric patterns), today’s Ritz, near Nob Hill, still has doting service." Full review
DK Eyewitness "It is housed in an historic Beaux Arts building in an entire block along California Street, near the top of Nob Hill."
Time Out "The Ritz-Carlton has been the de facto choice for dignitaries and heads of state for years." Full review
Star Service "This hotel may be located one steep block down from the crest of Nob Hill, but thanks to the confusion and cost-cutting going on up there it is currently the best on the hill." Full review
Gayot "This stately and majestic property was built in 1909 and occupies a full square block."
