An inspired fusion of old-world hotel elegance with distinctly contemporary energy and glamour, the redesigned Clift, in the heart of San Francisco’s Union Square, takes modern luxury to another lever.

Hotelier Ian Schrager's Clift hotel is located in the heart of San Francisco's theatre district.

A fantastical interior has been designed by Philippe Starck with oversized floor lamps in the lobby and sleigh beds and Man Ray-inspired decor in the 375 rooms. The restaurant is an outlet of Schrager's trendy Asia de Cuba.
