The Drake Hotel is a one of kind unique experience that is definitely one to attend. Upon arriving at steet level, you will be geeeted by valet. Our valet attendant, Chris, was full of energy & life, making arriving extremely welcoming. Upon entering the building, to the left of the revolving doors is ground level access to elevators, shops & numerous restaurants, including Coq D'Or. Up the stairs leads to a huge foyer, with another grand staircase leading to their higher end restaurant Palm Court (did not attend on this visit, as hours were conflicting with our schedule) & the front desk. The front desk attendees our extremely helpful & friendly. Take a moment to truly embrace the elegance this hotel has to offer upon entering. All of first floor is open to general public with out hotel stay. The elevators are older style, & fit the aesthetics of the hotel. We stayed on the 8th floor. Upon enterinf the room, its very tall ceilings make it feel very grand. The rooms feel older style royalty. The room we were in consisted of a center entertainment stand with a decently large TV. The room also had 2 bathrooms on either side of the room. It consisted of a couch on the right side of the room, with an executive desk next to it. Opposite those is a king size bed, with a dresser next to the walk in closet. The thermostat is on the wall as soon as ypu open the room door. The heater is old school radiators, that are a tad noisy upon activating heat, but are very warm.
