“Flawless boutique in a quiet district”

Hotel Drisco is called the best boutique in San Francisco — a 1903 property in an upscale, quiet neighborhood still walkable to dining, shopping and sights. Guests find everything flawless: impeccable rooms with every amenity and true-luxury bedding, an exquisite breakfast, a lovely evening wine and cocktail hour, and staff who serve with enthusiasm and grace. Neighborhood walks are a standout, and one guest rode the hotel's electric bike across the Golden Gate to Sausalito. It is compared favorably with five-star stays in Europe.
