An inspired fusion of old-world hotel glamour with distinctly modern energy and design, the nearly century-old Clift's Royal Sonesta Hotel daring sense of diversity perfectly captures the spirit of San Francisco, while maintaining its essence as a boutique luxury hotel. Designed by Philippe Starck, Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel features a soaring lobby with one of the most eclectic furniture collections in all of California, including chairs from Ray and Charles Eames, a coffee table by Salvador Dali, and a surreal stool by Roberto Matta (inspired by René Margritte). The legendary Redwood Room bar, paneled with the wood of a single Redwood tree, is accented with digital art and the buzz of an elite San Francisco crowd. Velvet Room is a multi-purpose venue for eating, drinking and special events. Guests who simply want to relax, read or people watch can find the comforts of an old English club in the Living Room. Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel is the ultimate boutique hotel in San Francisco, located steps from Union Square and the Financial District, and close to Moscone Convention Center, Nob Hill, Fisherman's Wharf, Embarcadero, Telegraph Hill, Coit Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge.
