The Drake consistently has been rated one of the best hotels in the United States, appearing on several Top 10 lists. The brothers John and Tracy Drake, who developed this hotel, had earlier developed The Blackstone. In contrast to the old hotel's name, they named their development firm the "Whitestone Hotel Company." At one point it was a Kirkeby Hotel.

White body, gold rim line, green band and large, pink camellia flower with green glossy leaves. Design by Dorothy Draper. A menu (not shown) advertises The Camellia House restaurant at the Drake and thus the tie-in with this pattern.
