The newly redesigned Clift Hotel is San Francisco's crown jewel. This fabulously sleek, Philippe Starck designed downtowner is brimming with eye candy both stylistically and physically. Upon entering the high-ceilinged boutique hotel, you're greeted by surreal sized furniture set alongside a cozy fireplace nook. After sauntering through the lobby, make sure to pay homage to the legendary Redwood Room by stopping in to have a drink at the lushly appointed bar. Recline on one of the plush banquettes, and make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the international jet-setters, local socialites, and celebs that all frequent this sophisticated haunt. And if you're spending the night, you'll adore the extraordinarily luxe rooms that feature panoramic views of San Francisco. The contemporary energy and glamour of the Clift make it a must for visitors and city dwellers alike.
