    John Ellis Room Cabinet

    ICONIC ACCOMMODATIONS IN THE HEART OF SAN FRANCISCO

    The design of the new Sir Francis Drake is a take on a classic-contemporary interpretation of the attitude and elegance of Sir Francis Drake’s time period, woven into a modern fantasy that honors our Kimpton Grand Boutique roots. The design seeks to balance the look of our Union Square accommodations with the glamorous, regal architecture of the lobby and our public spaces. The rooms are a modern rendition of historically inspired pieces woven together into a collective tapestry the elaborate headboards, the art work, the carpet patterns, the jewel-toned color of the fabrics and even the slim dresser and oversized leaning mirror, all designed to create comfort. Combined with Kimpton-style service and amenities, our assortment of style offers a variety of choices in accommodations to enhance the experience of your stay with us.
