An inspired fusion of old-world hotel elegance with distinctly contemporary energy and glamour, the newly redesigned Clift, in the heart of San Francisco's Union Square, takes modern luxury to another level.

From the Surrealistic magic of its soaring lobby to the digital art exhibitions in its celebrated and legendary Redwood Room, the nearly century-old Clift's daring new sense of diversity perfectly captures the city's spirit. Designed by Philippe Starck, Clift is a wonderland for the jetset.

Clift's 363 guest rooms are generously proportioned and elegantly decorated with luxurious fabrics - silks, leathers and velvets, all in tranquil shades - ivories, greys and lavenders, which combine to create an effect that is richly layered and sophisticated. Floor-to-ceiling mirrors on opposite walls create a soothing 'infinity effect' and reflect the rosy Bay Area light.
