Clift Hotel San Francisco

The Clift Hotel San Francisco strives to mix old-world elegance with contemporary energy and glamour. Its classic stone exterior and glowing purple entryway give a hint of the surprises inside. For example, its highly eclectic furnishings range from a 35-foot-high fireplace with a bronze chimney designed by Gerard Garouste and a sculpture custom made by William Sawaya to a coffee table by Salvador Dali and a surreal Renee Marguerite stool.

Accommodations here come in ten different room configurations, ranging from 260-square-foot Standard units and Superior Kings to 925-square-foot Deluxe Suites and Lofts with two double beds. All rooms feature custom-designed furniture by Philippe Starck, 400-thread count bedding with down duvets, spacious bathrooms with tubs, and Agua by Korres personal care products. Wireless high-speed Internet access is available for an additional charge.

For drinks, there is the historic Redwood Room; the Living Room is for lounging and relaxing; and the Velvet Room hosts parties and events. Guests also have access 24/7 to a fitness center on the 2nd floor. The Clift Hotel San Francisco is located just steps from Union Square shopping and legendary Nob Hill at 495 Geary Street, San Francisco, California 94102. Valet parking with in/out privileges is available on-site for $50 per day.
