The newly renovated Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco, part of the Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants Group, is offering guests 25% off a three-night getaway with its "Passport to San Francisco" package. The offer also includes a range of additional perks designed to help guests experience the best of San Francisco's culture, history and art.

Located in the heart of San Francisco just steps from Union Square, the award-winning Sir Francis Drake recently underwent a multi-million dollar renovation that enhanced its hip, contemporary vibe while retaining its 1920s roots. After a day spent exploring the city, guests can relax at the speakeasy-style Bar Drake, dine on Italian and French-inspired cuisine at Scala's Bistro, and enjoy panoramic 180-degree views of San Francisco Bay at the hotel's retro nightclub, Starlight Room.

A feature at all Kimpton Hotels, guests can also rely on Sir Francis Drake's "Live Like a Local" tips for insider access to authentic city locations, instead of just visiting the tourist traps listed in guidebooks. Guests will also receive two Muni Passports on check-in, giving them immediate, unlimited access to Muni buses, cable cars and streetcars for the duration of their trip.

The "Passport to San Francisco" package includes:

• Three nights' accommodation in a Luxury Guest Room
• "Live Like a Local" travel tips, advising guests on how to see the best of the city
• Two "Muni Passports", providing unlimited access to local Muni buses, cable cars and streetcars
• Complimentary daily breakfast available in-room or at the hotel restaurant, Scala's Bistro
• Keepsake photo of guests with a classic San Franciscan cable car

The "Passport to San Francisco" package starts at $659 (approx. £429) for three nights' accommodation and is valid until 2 September 2013.
