This was my second stay at Hotel Drisco. I will never stay anywhere else again in the Bay Area! So elegant, quiet and well staffed. The property itself is a lovely and historic architectural gem. Feels like your home when you are at Hotel Drisco. Rebecca K. from Big Island of Hawaii

Fell in love with this hotel. If you can, get the suite so you can have the beautiful view. Breakfast, happy hour, tea in the sitting area, everything was perfect. We stayed with 2 other couples and they also loved their stay. We will definitely stay here again.

I wish I could live at the hotel drisco.

I loved our three day getaway for my birthday. We had the suite, which was very nicely decorated Uncomfortable. Complementary morning, breakfast and evening wine tasting exceeded expectations. We never ordered room service so I can’t comment on that but we never needed to Hotel also included extra nice touches like complementary biscotti, high-end tees, and fabulous Bulgari bath products. The hotel is also very well staffed from the front desk, housekeeping restaurant, drivers Everyone was exceptional. It would be hard to find a better staffed hotel. They also supply eco-friendly glass water bottles filled with filter water The location is beautiful and quiet The glassware in China in the room is lovely quality My only negative comment would be that I wish the guest closet could accommodate an evening gown. It just wasn’t tall enough. But I used the hook in the bathroom meant for the robes. Not ideal but it worked.
