Hotel Drisco Pacific Heights
A classic and charming city escape
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

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.
