Hotel Directory
Clift Hotel
Nearly a century old, the Clift is a local landmark set amid the theatre district. Once known for its striking red panelled interior, it is now adored for its Philippe Starck makeover. The designer waved his creative wand back in 2001 and turned the Clift into one of the must-see hotels in San Francisco. Proof lies in the Redwood Room bar, where locals fond of a little luxury gather. The 372 guest rooms are small but elegantly decorated in shades of violet and grey. Egyptian cotton sheets, Wi-Fi and in-room massage and spa services add to the luxury.

The Scarlet Huntingdon
Visible from much of the city, this luxury retreat sits opposite Grace Cathedral at the highest point of Nob Hill. All 134 guestrooms are individually decorated and each has great views across the city. Chandeliers and plush upholstery fill the public areas, and if you can tear yourself away from the vistas, the hotel also has its own spa.

Hotel Zetta
The city's newest luxury hotel is in Union Square, a design-heavy property that manages to stay playful in its chic approach. White interiors and sleek lines contrast with elements such as the traditional billiards table. The rooms are styled towards a very tech-savvy clientele, with interactive smart TVs to state-of-the-art iPhone docking stations. Again touching on the traditional, the rooms also come with Oriental rugs - a daring mix that somehow comes off.
