The Sir Francis Drake is a lovely little hotel right in heart of Union Square. One of the only SF hotels on the official register of US Historic Hotels, it's a full service hotel old-school opulence with the sweet feel of a little boutique outfit. The rooms are all comfortabel and well-appointed with comfy beds adn thoughtful decor that at least two steps above the average hotel room. A great place for both out of towners and for locals looking for a romantic getaway without leaving the city. I think normally prices average around $250/night, but I"ve always been able to find great internet deals on Expedia.com and the like

My parents stayed in the Sir Francis Drake once when they were visiting me, and from going into their rooms, I got the impression that although the tone and atmosphere of the room, and entire hotel for that matter, are really cool, the rooms are pretty darned small. Maybe it was just that particular room, but I wouldn't pay what they paid for the size of the room.

The Sir Francis Drake Hotel is located on Powell Street in San Francisco, near the downtown Union Square shopping district. It's quite centrally located and posh. It's also a place to see and be seen as many hip and young San Franciscians hang out both in the lobby and at Henry Denton's starlight room at the top of the hotel. The rooms at the Sir Francis Drake are large and spacious, though the hotel is NOT cheap and quite pricey. Expect to pay about $250 for a standard room. The Sir Francisis Drake is a full service hotel filled with various amenities, including high speed internet service (costs extra money), room service, and a nice mini-bar filled with all the (expensive) drinks you can imagine.
