Note Bene
Clift's famous and historic Redwood Room has been restored and reinvented as an exceptionally elegant and modern space. Suffused with all-out glamour, the interior features the original redwood paneling and enormous bar, which, legend has, was carved from a single redwood tree, as well as Starck-designed lounge furniture and an ever-changing array of digital artwork displayed on plasma television screens hung throughout the room. A cherished San Francisco landmark, the Redwood Room is back and better than ever.
Banquets & Meetings
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. The classically chic custom furnishings, rich velvet drapes, lushly landscaped terraces and panoramic city views make the Spanish Suite the ultimate venue for a wide variety of private functions.
Business Center
The 24-hour Business Center includes computer workstations with laser-jet printers and high-speed Internet access. With its plush, sofas and roomy chairs, the adjacent Business Lounge is a comfortable place to read the newspaper or catch up on the day's events via high-tech plasma monitors.
Fine Dining on Site
The San Francisco outpost of Jeffrey Chodorow's acclaimed Asia de Cuba restaurant has been designed to complement the legendary glamour of the Redwood Room. The renowned
and innovative Asian-Latin cuisine is served in an atmosphere of unabashed glamour: lush silk curtains, mahogany and leather banquettes, hand-blown Murano glass lamps,
and a spectacular cross-shaped and illuminated communal dining table made entirely of hand-etched Venetian mirror.
