The Drake Hotel offers a blend of old-world charm that's hard to find in modern accommodations. From the moment you step into the lobby, the grandeur of a bygone era is evident—ornate ceilings, rich woodwork, and a sense of history that gives the place real character. That said, the suites and some common areas could use a little refresh and would go a long way toward enhancing the overall experience without sacrificing the hotel’s historic appeal. Still, the attentive staff, prime location, and undeniable sense of place make The Drake a memorable stay. If you appreciate classic architecture and the stories of the past, you’ll likely find the charm outweighs the minor imperfections.
