Clift Hotel

FAVORITE HOTEL IN SAN FRANCISCO

As I live in the city I rarely have the need to stay in a hotel and as such I have only stayed here less than a handful of times. This is a five star luxury hotel so you get pretty much what you would expect of such an establishment. The things that really standout for me though and why I recommend this hotel to everyone is their showers.

Strange I know, and I don't know if you get this in all the rooms but many of the showers have a seat in them, which when you get to my time in life is exceedingly welcome.

I cannot think of another hotel anywhere in the world with such a convenience, so much so I have installed a similiar situation in my own shower at home. Wonderful.

Despite undergoing a recent renovation, which can sometimes strip the charm away from an institution like the Clift, I pleased to say this has not been the case. The hotel is located centrally, extremely close to Union Square making it the perfect spot for pre dinner drinks. I do enjoy a Martini in the famed Redwood Room from time to time.

The staff are friendly but the professionalism can come off a little austere. Don't let this put you off enjoying your own special experience at the Clift Hotel.
