Afternoon Tea Delight

“The Afternoon Tea at The Drake was absolutely good! Although at $49 per person, it may seem steep, the experience was worth every penny. The elegant setup and delicious assortment of teas and pastries made it a highlight of our stay. It truly felt like a special occasion, and my wife enjoyed it immensely.” view full review

Regal King Suite

“Our King Suite was unbelievable! It featured a spacious living room, complete with a desk, fireplace, and a comfortable seating area. The bedroom itself was regal and beautifully appointed, making our stay very luxurious. It was a perfect escape from the bustle of the city, and the cleanliness of the room only added to the comfort.” view full review

Charming Bath Experience

“While our shower struggled to get hot water, we appreciated the elegant bathtub option available in the bathroom. Taking a long, relaxing bath after a day of exploring was a nice treat. The well-maintained historical charm of the bathroom added to the nostalgia of The Drake, reminding me of classic luxury.” view full review

Cozy Bar Atmosphere

“The bar at The Drake, with its cozy and intimate setting, is perfect for a pre-dinner cocktail. Although we experienced some timing issues with its hours, the ambiance was inviting and made for a lovely place to unwind. It truly encapsulates the historic elegance the hotel is known for—a great spot to relax and enjoy good company.” view full review
