The Hotel Drisco, constructed in 1903, blends traditional elegance with the convenience, comfort, and amenities of a world-class modern hotel. Our warm hospitality, inviting atmosphere, and impeccable service are designed to please business and leisure travelers alike.

The Hotel Drisco combines the sophistication of a small European hotel with the character of an upscale American B&B. Experience the value: complimentary gourmet continental breakfast; complimentary evening wine and cheese reception; complimentary town car service each weekday morning from the hotel to Union Square, the financial district, and Presidio businesses; complimentary high-speed Internet connection in each room.

After a hectic day of business or sightseeing, be welcomed "home" at night to beautifully-appointed and recently redecorated guest rooms. As one recent guest put it, it felt "like I was in a private home rather than a hotel." Experience the high level of personal attention from each staff member who is dedicated to making your visit to San Francisco as comfortable, productive, and memorable as possible.

One of the busiest and well known tourist attractions in North America, it is best known for being the location of Pier 39, San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, the Cannery Shopping Center, Ghirardelli Square, a Ripley's Believe it or Not museum, the Musée Mécanique, the Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf, Forbes Island and restaurants and stands that serve fresh seafood, most notably dungeness crab and clam chowder served in a sourdough bread bowl. Some of the restaurants, like Pompeii's and Alioto's #8, go back for three generations of the same family ownership. Nearby Pier 45 has a chapel in memory of the "Lost Fishermen" of San Francisco and Northern California.

Other attractions in Fisherman's Wharf area are the Hyde Street Pier which is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the USS Pampanito a decommissioned World War 2 era submarine, and the Balclutha, a 19th century whaling ship

Fisherman's Wharf plays host to many San Francisco events, including a world-class fireworks display for Fourth of July, and some of the best views of the Fleet Week air shows.

One of the city's most popular figures is a harmless but controversial resident of Fisherman's Wharf called the World Famous Bushman, a local street performer who sits behind some branches and startles people who walk by. He has gained notoriety during the 28 years he has been doing this.
