The Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel

Sonesta International Hotels Corporation is proud to announce their entry into the San Francisco market with the addition of The Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel to its growing portfolio of locations that span the world. The Clift is truly one of a kind, dramatically offering the very best of service, style and design since its opening in 1915. The lobby alone is a living gallery, including pieces from Philippe Starck, Michel Haillard, and many more.

The Clift"s location just off Union Square means it"s ideally situated between the city"s Financial District and famed South of Market neighborhood. The Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel is the perfect location to experience San Francisco for business, pleasure, or a bit of both.

Within walking distance of some of the country"s top internet start-ups, including Dropbox, Pinterest, Reddit, Twitter and Yelp, making business travel easy for guests of The Clift, leaving extra time to explore all the City by the Bay has to offer. San Francisco"s Union Square, the largest collection of department stores and shops, is steps away from the luxury boutique property, and nearby many popular attractions and cultural sights – from Fisherman"s Wharf and Lombard Street, to the Ferry Building and Embarcadero.

"Words cannot express how excited I am to welcome The Clift to the Royal Sonesta portfolio," said Carlos Flores, President and Chief Executive Officer, Sonesta International Hotels Corporation. "As a native born Californian, I have admired The Clift as long as I can remember; it"s an institution. I am thrilled to add San Francisco to our growing list of Sonesta destinations, and to have the opportunity to care for such an important part of the City"s history is truly an honor. "
