I attended a conference at The Drake and reserved my room several months prior. The hotel is beautiful but I requested a non smoking room and guaranteed my late arrival. When I got there at midnight (! travel delays) I was told there were only smoking rooms available--nothing else. I was assured I would be moved first thing in the... more

My wife and I arrived for a getaway two-night adventure and all was OK. The bathrooms are NOT what they should be for what they are charging, but the room was clean, tidy and had some savoir faire. The room was "hot" tho, (about 76 degrees) and would not cool down in the approximate 45 minutes we were changing for... more

I stayed here for business and the hotel was just nice. I rooms were a bit old but very comfortable beds! The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly. But their interenet connects stinks. more

I recently stayed at the Drake Hotel for a business meeting. The public areas of the hotel are absolutely beautiful. The architecture is just stunning and the floral displays are perfect.

The Drake is a gorgeous hotel located less than a block away from the "Miracle Mile" so if you are looking for a historic beauty and great shopping you've found the perfect place! The staff members were very knowledgeable about local dining and when the power in our room went off they restored it in less than 10 minutes! more

Just returned from a weekend stay. Place is beautiful but they don't give much care about housekeeping in the rooms. I was so surprised when I first went into the bathroom it looked like someone just put clean towels but left everything else. There was a USED bar of soap, I picked up the rubber mat to take a shower... more

Check in staff were friendly and helpful. our room was a very reasonable rate, and the room was enormous, with a large walk in wardrobe, flat screen tv and extremely comfortable double bed. we had... more

Most comfortable beds in the city. Staff is ultra pleasant and helpful at all hours. Check in and check out are efficient and friendly. Restaurants serve delicious food at... more
