Although the city boasted a number of luxury hotels, the Sir Francis Drake Hotel was something else entirely: a sleek state-of-the-art marvel reflecting the dynamic spirit of a new city growing up out of the devastating 1906 earthquake.The hotel got its name from the English explorer who, in 1579, narrowly missed discovering the San Francisco Bay itself and instead sailed the Golden Hind into Drake’s Bay 28 miles north.The Sir Francis Drake Hotel quickly obtained the glamorous aura in the late 1920s and became a favorite home away from home for stars of vaudeville and the silver screen. Now, the Sir Francis Drake Hotel is a premier San Francisco historic hotel offering opulent accommodations, meeting rooms, and elegant weddings and receptions.Meet the Manager
