The Clift was purchased from Four Seasons Hotels in 1996 by Morgans Hotel Group.
The Art Deco Redwood Room built in 1933 was refurbished by Philippe Starck to combine its original styling and 21st century design. The hotel has 100Mbit/s high speed fiber optic internet service.
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.
