Clift, Ian Schrager's first hotel in San Francisco, is a template breaking tour de force that promises to change forever the notion of what it means to be a luxury hotel. Elegant and sophisticated, yet in a totally modern way, Clift takes conventional hotel philosophy and turns it on its head. While still bearing some of the hallmarks of the traditional luxury hotel experience, such as exemplary service and amenities, what makes Clift truly special and what sets it apart from the rest is the unique energy created by its daring and brilliant juxtapositions.
Clift, a nearly century-old building designed in the Italian Renaissance style, with fittingly grand proportions and sumptuous period details, had been renovated many times, and each time a greater portion of its original spirit was lost. For Schrager, the challenge was to rediscover and restore the hotel's essence while at the same time introducing a modern sensibility. The mission was not to merely revisit the past, but to actually improve it. The result is an excitement and energy that has galvanized this hotel, like the city beyond, to a new level altogether.
