Grand in architecture, comfortably informal in character, San Francisco's Sir Francis Drake, a Kimpton Hotel wears its past lightly as it cultivates a new image as one of Kimpton Group's eclectic boutique-inspired hotels. Located near Union Square and the Moscone Convention Center, this 1928 classic now features 415 guest rooms and a Presidential Suite, each with cream and sage decor, terrycloth bathrobes, yoga TV, and complimentary wireless and high-speed Internet. Amenities include a fitness center, Scala's Bistro, and Bar Drake speakeasy-style lounge.
Sir Francis Drake courts meeting planners with 16,000 square feet of conference room and 11 venues for business meetings and corporate events to 350. A favorite with visitors and locals, Starlight Room on the twenty-first floor still creates the dine-and-dance magic that first made it famous in the 1940s.
