Description


Location. The historic CLIFT Hotel in San Francisco, Calif., blends old-world ambience with modern glamour just two blocks from Union Square's dining and shopping venues. This hotel is one-half mile from the Moscone Convention Center and Nob Hill. Both Transamerica Pyramid and AT&T Park are one mile away.
Hotel Features. The eclectic collection of this hotel's modern furnishings provide a drastic difference from its classic Italian Renaissance exterior, originally constructed in 1913. Guests receive preferential access to the hotel's legendary restaurant, Asia de Cuba. Silk curtains, mahogany and leather banquettes, hand-blown Murano glass lamps, and a communal dining table fashioned from hand-etched Venetian mirrors define this elegant setting. Appetizers include lobster pot stickers and coconut-conch ceviche, while popular main dishes include roasted lime and garlic duck and Hunan-style fish stuffed with crab. Legend claims that the bark from a single California redwood comprises the walls of the Redwood Room, the hotel's renowned bar. The 30-foot ceilings, digital art, subdued lighting and leather and velvet furnishings attract celebrities and local trendsetters. Additional hotel amenities include a business center with complimentary high-speed wired and wireless Internet access. Recreational offerings include a fitness center with cardiovascular equipment.

Guestrooms. The CLIFT Hotel has 363 guestrooms with sumptuous bedding consisting of down comforters and 400-thread count Egyptian cotton linens. Custom-made white-birch furnishings complement rich velvet, leather and silk fabrics. Guestroom décor also includes sleigh beds and Venetian-glass lamps and desks. High-speed Internet access, cable television and DVD players are accessible in each room. Bathrooms boast robes and Agua Bathhouse products.

Expert Tip. Check out works by worldwide artists and furnishing collections, including the Louis XVI chair, staged throughout the public areas of this hotel as evidence of a major reconstruction in the 1990s.

Great bar and lounge area with mediocre rooms

This hotel is 2 blocks from the 5 story Macy's and lots of other stores and boutiques.

Great weekend gateway

As I family, we like Boutique Hotel, so we loved the hotel and location is great. However, if you are looking for typical family hotel, this is not your hotel. We stay in loft suite and room was more than enough for us.

Best Hotel in SF.....So far.

If you want the best breakfast in the city, go two blocks down towards Union Square and go to Sears Fine Foods, now dont let the name throw you or the line out front(moves really fast) They have the best Swedish pancakes in the city, trust me I hate breakfast but loved this palce.

modern elegance

modern elegance meets a touch of artistic fun: from the moment you step into the lobby it's like walking into a modern-day version of alice in wonderland in clean, cool mixes of grey and purple with rich reds and gold. very sophisticated yet welcoming. every corner you turn there seems to be some unique object of interest. the lounge - although a great time and truly beautiful - can be obnoxious if you are not looking for a club scene (bottle service and reservation-only tables) after hours, but we enjoyed our pricey cocktails and people-watching before the scene started up at our own table which was warm and comfortable. the staff is extremely focused on making sure that hotel guests come first and went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. our room was simple luxury in cream, lavender and bright orange - very calm, serene and refreshing. the room was small, but did not feel that way because of an ingenious use of curtains and mirrors - instead the room felt bright and open. great job at maximizing space. the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful all around.

Not a 4 star hotel.

Small old rooms, small bathroom. The room was fine but it was more like a 3 star hotel.
