Rough Guide "Visually stunning modern design aesthetics – it’s almost like staying inside a work of art."
Michelin Guide "This temple of sophistication is a perfect example of why SoMa is so hot."
Frommer's "The latest in full-blown high-tech luxury is yours at this über-chic 40-story SoMa tower." Full review
Concierge "Staying here can feel a little like you've discovered how to control others with your mind: Your desires are often fulfilled before you knew you had them."

Request a room not facing Third Street if you're a light sleeper, though you'll sacrifice the gorgeous west-facing view of Twin Peaks.
Fodor's "Though this may be the most luxurious hotel in the city, guests often remark that it's hipper and more modern than other hotels in the St. Regis chain." Full review

"Built in 2005, the St. Regis offers the best in luxury." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Directly adjacent to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, this hotel is the true epitome of luxury – their butler service brings “any request and whim to realization.”"
Star Service "St. Regis San Francisco harbors public space and guest rooms on the first 20 floors, and floors 22 and above anchor some of the city's most expensive "sky-homes."" Full review
Gayot "Next door to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, this St. Regis comprises the historic, early twentieth-century Williams building and a new, forty-story tower."

Rough Guide "The epitome of swish sophistication... Pricey, ultra-cool and almost disarmingly self-aware."
Michelin Guide "Irreverent, unexpected, and surreal, its mind-bending and modern design is a little bit Alice in Wonderland and a whole lot of cool."
Frommer's "Young trendsetters now flock here for overpriced monochrome lavender streamlined rooms with often-minuscule bathrooms, glamorous atmosphere, and a heavy dose of attitude." Full review
Fodor's "The entrance is so nondescript here, you could walk right past it without a hint of what's inside, and that's exactly how the clientle—a mix of hipsters, music-industry types, and celebrities—like it." Full review

Some visitors have remarked on the thin walls and advise booking a room on an upper-level floor to avoid street noise.
Lonely Planet "While the Clift is deliciously notorious for its penthouse parties, tough design critics might find that some rooms are too cramped for sleigh beds, and some cabinets might've been bought at IKEA."
Travel + Leisure "A dimly lit lobby littered with art furniture, lavender-hued corridors, and guest rooms done in restful beiges, grays, and more lavender." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The dramatic Clift is a striking example of modern design, with a lobby created by Phillippe Starck."
Time Out "This Schrager-Starck property is still the hippest hotel in town, and doesn't it know it." Full review
Star Service "Located in the heart of the city and next to the Curran Theater, across the street from Marriott's Hotel Adagio, this hotel may bear a name closely associated with San Francisco's old..." Full review
Gayot "Once the most traditional of San Francisco's grand hotels, this historic building was remodeled in 2001 by avant-garde designers Philippe Starck and Ian Schraeger."
