Clift Hotel, San Francisco

Those in the know head for Clift when they're in the Bay City. Here in the heart of lively Union Square, Clift is known for its bold Philippe Starck design - think digital art exhibitions, a soaring lobby, hand-etched Venetian glass and lush silk curtains. Each of the 363 guestrooms is indulgently spacious and brims with leathers, velvets and floor-to-ceiling mirrors - used to reflect the romantic rosy light of the Bay Area. Jeffrey Chodorow's glam Asia de Cuba restaurant, with its Asian-Latin specialties, is the place to see and be seen. The historic Redwood Room is a local favorite for its original redwood paneling and enormous bar.

The 363-room property is breathtaking from the moment guests enter the lobby through a double-height arched entryway. Over seven distictive room types including four categories of suites. Soothing pale grays form a backdrop for custom-designed furniture, including Starck's oversized gilt-and-bronze chair upholstered in French tapestry and furniture that pays homage to Surrealists Dali and Magritte. Generously scaled guestrooms reflect society's current desire for elegant and individualized personal spaces. Tranquil grays, ivories, and lavenders are accented by an enormous English Sycamore sleigh bed. Bright-orange plexiglass night tables cast a warm glow, while gauzy curtains and floor-to-ceiling mirrors placed on opposite walls reflect each other as well as the fabulous city beyond.

The Redwood Room, built in 1933, boasts a monochromatic redwood scheme in 18 textures of wood, leather, fabric, carpet, and bronze is punctuated by vivid violets and golds. The sensuous space is further animated by flatscreen televisions mounted vertically around the room, telling an ever-changing story created by avant-digital artists. Across the hall, the Asia de Cuba restaurant echoes and expands the spirit of the Redwood Bar with redwood paneling, lush brown velvet curtains, and mahogany and leather banquettes.
