The Drake Hotel Review

The Drake is better known for its bars and restaurants than the tiny (from 14-36 sq. m/151-388 sq. ft.) guest rooms above. The rooms are, however, cleverly designed and have good amenities (CD/DVD players and lovely linens, for example) and offer an ideal place to rest your head after a long night's indulgence in the hotel's public rooms. The Drake is something of a trend-setter and attracts a stylish and fashionable crowd to its restaurant, bar, rooftop lounge, cafe, and the Underground, a live performance venue that draws top names. Little wonder the hotel's current expansion is focused on a new BBQ joint and another lounge, not more guest rooms. An artist-in-residence program keeps the wall art changing. This is one hotel where you're more likely to meet city residents than visitors.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; cafe; 2 bars; access to local health club

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
