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

Rough Guide "A delightful B&B-style inn... particularly popular with Brits looking for a taste of home."
Frommer's "From the moment you're buzzed into this well-secured inn, you'll know you're not in a generic bed-and-breakfast." Full review
Fodor's "A cozy library with a crackling fireplace is the heart of this inviting English-style B&B." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A small, country-style establishment, the White Swan has rooms with bright floral prints and comfortable beds."
Time Out "Essentially, California's version of an English B&B, and how you just reacted to that sentence will be pretty much how you react to the inn itself." Full review
Star Service "Thanks to its unbending B&B aesthetic, it continues to lure a repeat clientele despite its limited facilities. " Full review
Gayot "This intimate hotel boasts a traditional English country look with modern conveniences."

""Plenty of character" graces this "delightful", "quaint" Nob Hill boutique B&B – from the "old-fashioned Otis lift" to the "comfortable" rooms featuring "cozy" fireplaces."

"The 26-room, mid-range White Swan Inn in San Francisco’s Nob Hill district offers a cozy and intimate atmosphere, with rooms featuring fireplaces and ample sitting areas." Full review
Jetsetter "Flamboyant Nob Hill sleep for Anglophiles, with just 26 rooms and a daily wine hour." Full review
