Jet setters, hipsters, and heiresses alike will feel right at home in the fabulous, funky, and totally original Clift Hotel. Visually, the Clift Hotel is as magical as a trip to Alice’s Wonderland – only a good deal more sophisticated. Re-designed by the masterful Philippe Starck, the Clift looks daring – even subversive – despite being nearly 100 years old. The public spaces of the Clift Hotel are masterpieces. Take in the visual splendor of the lobby, the famed Redwood Room, and the intimate Living Room. Guests love Jean-Baptiste Mondino’s playfully deadpan black-and-white photos of plastic animal toys, hung from the Living Room’s walls. Guest rooms are bright but soft, filled with tactile fabrics such as silk and leather in soothing shades of white, grey and lilac. Whether you stay at the Clift or just pop in to admire its design, have a drink in the Redwood Room, where backlit liquor bottles become works of art. Asia de Cuba’s sultry glamor is the perfect backdrop for a romantic tete-a-tete. The Clift Hotel is located in the very fashionable Union Square.
