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.

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.

lovely place to stay
Everything about this hotel was elegant and chic. The ambience was wonderful, though I felt the Redroom prices were unnecessarily high.

great location for shopping and city night life
The Clift was a great place to stay. We ended up going out a couple of nights, but the other nights we found plenty of fun in the lobby at the Redwood Room. Locals recommended it to us as a happening spot without knowing that we were staying at the Clift! Same thing for the restaurant. We were able to start our evening with dinner in the lobby at Asia de Cuba and end it with cocktails in the Redwood Room. So convenient. The room was a little small, but had everything we needed. Might not be great for more than two guests-we would have needed a second room had we brought our children. There were several great places to eat within walking distance and it seemed like you could catch a cab easily and get almost anywhere in about 10 minutes. We loved the location of the hotel as much as our weekend in San Francisco.

Every retailer you can think of is within walking distance at all the shops along Grant. Then if you prefer an indoor shopping experience....they are all inside San Francisco Center AGAIN which is also within walking distance.

It was goooood
Everything about the place was nice. The bathroom was too small would be the only complaint. I'd actually stay somewhere else next time because of this. Girls need counter space and such and this place had none. Other than that it was a great place to stay!

Good but....
Somewhat trendy and you probably pay a bit extra for this. Room was also trendily decorated and this led to some 'dysfunction'. For example, the beside tables were orange perspex cubes, with no storage space. The Clift bar is renowned and had a great atmosphere with an 'in' crowd - was nice to be 'in' for a change!!

A 'must-stay' place
I loved being at this hotel. Every effort has been made to ensure comfort, from the bedding, to the desk, the armchair which comes with a throw, a side table, the 'huge' flat screen TV (for checking the weather, of course). The bathroom was spotless, had modern fittings, and good products (great if you've forgotten shampoos, etc.). The closet had more than enough hangars, and there was an umbrella for rainy days. During my 2.5 day stay the staff were professional with exactly the right touch of personalized attention--this included staff at the check-in desk, room service staff, the doormen and porters. The business center was accessible, and everthing worked--no slow internet connection, immediate printing facilities. The cost is pretty high, though. The hotel's wifi service was great--no slow connection here. For quick business meetings,I found ample spaces to sit--if not in the bar, then in a low-lit lounge near the elevators, or even in a seating area in the business center. The decore is contemporary and definitely not that soon-to-be-worn-at-the-edges 'euro-chic' of some upscale contemporary hotels. It would not appeal to anyone who likes floral prints, frills, matching carpet and bedspread. And it would not appeal to anyone who does not like their bar stool to light up when they sit down. It might be too 'hip' for some. On Friday and Saturday nights, the bar is pretty filled with primarily younger people, but the sound does not spill out, and the hotel is careful not to let this impact upon paying guests who have 'guest privilege' cards that move you ahead of any line up (people do line up for the bar). The restaurant is superb, but watch out for the helpings. They are HUGE. I'd stay there again.

Art Deco Funkiness
Fantastic staff truly dedicated to outstanding customer service. [...], is the best concierge in the business--truly fantastic restuarant recommendations. Redwood Room is amazing--great bartenders.The Philipe Starck interiors are fantastic but then he had great bones to work with. Worth a visit just to take a looksie.
