Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“The only hotel in Pacific Heights, a stately 1903 apartment-hotel tucked between mansions, stands high on the ridgeline. It’s notable for its architecture, attentive service and chic rooms, with their elegantly austere decor.”

Fodors review:

“This posh Pacific Heights property gazes down upon the city and the bay. Rich textiles, heavy dark wooden furnishings, and golden fixtures hint at the tastes of those who select this hidden retreat.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in San Francisco.

Forbes review:

“The historic Hotel Drisco Pacific Heights has such an under-the-radar, posh vibe, you might mistake it for a private residence in San Francisco’s tony Pacific Heights neighborhood. And that’s the charm of this 48-room property that’s hosted U.S. presidents (like Dwight D. Eisenhower) and celebrities (actors Ethan Hawke and Ashely Judd).”

Frommers review:

“If you’re looking to pretend you’re a real San Francisco resident—and a wealthy one at that—stay at this elegant yet understated hotel nestled among the multimillion dollar mansions of swanky Pacific Heights.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in San Francisco.

Telegraph review:

“This Edwardian hilltop hideaway, surrounded by the dignified mansions of Pacific Heights, invites guests into the San Francisco high life. An old-fashioned sensibility – actual keys, staff dressed in waistcoats – meets luxurious modern comforts to create something classic, cosy and a cut above.”
