"Reopened after an extensive remodel that closed the hotel last September, the Clift now features a spruced-up Redwood Room with new furniture and a bar made from an 800-year-old tree, and the hotel is planning an additional restaurant called Fredericks, set to open in April with Luce veteran Dan Corey at the helm; I find the Clift to be a sophisticated hot spot for high-end cocktails in a glam space with redwood paneling." - Eve Batey
