Enjoy Old World glamour under a modern roof

Designed by Philippe Starck, the Clift, A Morgan's Original Hotel, is located just steps from famous shopping venues and excellent attractions. The classic glamour of this hotel has been attracting celebrities for years, so long that this hotel has become a historic building. The Italian Renaissance exterior of the Clift, constructed in 1913, blends wonderfully with the modern glamour interior. The on-site Redwood Bar is a local and trendy favorite, with its towering 30-foot ceilings, digital art exhibitions, delicate lighting and velvet furniture.

3 Reasons To Stay :
  • Fusion of design and color in a masterfully architected hotel
  • Heart of Union Square and steps away from bustling attractions
  • Attracts celebrities and local trendsetters under its roof
Clift, A Morgan's Original Rooms

Plush elegance is standard in the Clift, A Morgan's Original Hotel spacious rooms. Included with the custom-made birch furnishings are velvets, leather and silk fabrics that complement the classic interiors perfectly. Guests enjoy European style furnishings and decor, complete with Venetian glass. For ultimate comfort and relaxation, guests can nap on down comforters wrapped in 400-thread-count bed linens. Flat-screen TVs and MP3 docks provide a little bit of entertainment. For pampering after a day of stressful sightseeing, Clift guests can request a spa massage from one of the professional en-suite masseuses.

Meeting facilities

Meeting Info
Clift's stylishly appointed Meeting Rooms are an ideal alternative to the typically staid conference room. On the Mezzanine level, three stunning rooms featuring dramatic white velvet curtains, etched Venetian mirrors and Philippe Starck's modern interpretation of classic banquet furniture are available for meetings & events. Formerly the private home of the late Frederick Clift, the hotel's original owner in 1913, the Spanish Suite now serves as an elegant private function room. Many period details remain, including the rich wood-paneled walls, two enormous crystal chandeliers, and wood-burning fireplace.

Last minute trip

Overall my stay at the Clift was pretty good. I was dissappointed that they would not give us a decent rate to stay over another night so went to the hotel right across the street. They could use an upgrade in the gym. Didn't even bother to use it and I work out regularly. The bed was comfy. The room was small. The staff was exceptional! Didn't eat in the restaraunt, but my freind did and said it was very good.

Small and too "trendy" for this southern boy

Tacky decor in the rooms would best describe the place.. tiny rooms as in any hotel of this vintage, but way overpriced in my opinion. Lots of young folks there... like a frat house and the fire alarm went off at 2AM... not somewhere I will go back to. Couple that with the fact that WIFI is not provided free of charge at this price point.. ridiculous!

My review of Clift

The room was quite small for what we paid; especially the bathroom. The bathroom was not very clean-soap scrum looked like it was not accumulated over night. The lobby was best part of the entire hotel in term of presentation and cleanliness. Yes, it was very hip with great location, but that was all it got to offer.
