Hotel Drisco Pacific Heights

When you pull up to the historic Hotel Drisco Pacific Heights, you might think the driver mistakenly stopped at an apartment complex. The charming 43-room property that opened as a boarding house in 1903 blends in just that seamlessly into San Francisco’s tony Pacific Heights neighborhood.Although the building is 120-plus years old, a renovation completed in December 2023 ensures a top-notch stay at the gorgeous hotel. The friendly staff’s attention to detail and unique amenities — traditional gold tasseled keys instead of plastic cards, chauffeur service, electric bike access, complimentary breakfast and a wine reception — promise a memorable and rewarding respite. Everything about Hotel Drisco Pacific Heights, from the understated elegance of its Edwardian heritage to the spacious bathrooms with heated floors, is chic, sophisticated and comfortable. It’s no wonder the property has hosted U.S. presidents (like Dwight D. Eisenhower) and celebrities (actors Ethan Hawke and Ashely Judd) over the years.
