Launched during the Prohibition Era as the Sir Francis Drake, the fully-renovated hotel offers today’s travelers a new way to visit San Francisco. Its 418 rooms and thoughtful shared spaces bring modern design to life with restored architectural details.

Inside, visitors and locals mix and mingle in communal living room and lively gathering spot, Beacon Lounge and the iconic Starlite Room atop (coming 2024). With everything from walkable shops and restaurants to cable cars outside the front door, the central and connected Union Square location is the perfect home base for exploring San Francisco.
