“The Clift Royal Sonesta echoes San Francisco's history, yet its soul is undeniably modern, just steps from Union Square and the Financial District; that tension between eras creates a captivating atmosphere throughout the redesigned rooms and Redwood Room bar, known for its unique cocktails. I found the service impressive, particularly the concierge's dedication and the staff's genuine warmth, and this personal touch elevated the experience far beyond the stylish décor. It's a place where San Francisco's past and present meet.”
