Concierge.com's insider take:
The swanky ultramodern Clift attracts a young, rich, and well-groomed clientele. The Philippe Starck design is sleek and minimalist, with a gray, ivory, and lavender palette. Downstairs, the Living Room, with its leather wing chairs and library lamps, is reminiscent of an English country house. The much-photographed, justly famous Redwood Room bar is a sumptuous setting for a cocktail, and Asia de Cuba restaurant offers decent Asian-Latin fusion cuisine. The personnel can have a touch of hipper-than-thou attitude but are, for the most part, helpful. The one drawback is this hotel's thin walls, which do not block out the sound of your neighbors. But then, staying at the Clift is more about posing than repose.
Sponsored description:
An inspired fusion of old-world hotel elegance with distinctly contemporary energy and glamour, the nearly century-old Clift's modern and daring sense of diversity perfectly captures the city's spirit. Steps from Union Square shopping and the legendary Nob Hill, Clift is perfectly located for sightseeing, shopping and socializing. Clift's classic stone exterior opens onto a glowing purple entryway that prepares guests for the wonderland within. Designed by Philippe Starck, the soaring lobby contains one of the most eclectic furniture collections in all of California, with chairs from Ray and Charles Eames, a coffee table by Salvador Dali, a surreal stool by Renee Marguerite, and a sculpture custom made by William Sawaya. The centerpiece is a thirty-five-foot fireplace with a Bronze chimney sculpture by Gerard Garouste. The thrilling monumental scale and fantastical furnishings create a dream-like composition that is the cornerstone of Clift's magic.
