After a big renovation at the end of 2019, you’ll get to check out a brand new Union Square hotel. The Clift Royal Sonesta is a stunning meeting of the glamourous Italian Renaissance-style and the beautiful modern design, reflective of this cutting edge city. The legendary Redwood Room, always a San Francisco favourite, has been refreshed while preserving its iconic history, and there's a new bistro to check out. Even the bees are busy producing honey on the rooftop, ready to add to your drinks and salads.

The hotel is situated on a top location. We could do everything on foot (we love to walk - even long distances). The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The hotel is situated on a top location. We could do everything on foot (we love to walk - even long distances). The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was more than enough although a pity that so much was in plastic cups, platic forks and spoons, ... The valet parking was also expensive but we didn't want to look for a parking garage. Afterwards we should have looked it up before going to San Francisco because there were plenty in the neighbourhood and so much cheaper. Read less
Great Hotel
Dec 22, 2024Israel O
The hotel has a great location, good service and great facilities, the only inconvenience was the surrounding areas with a lot of people who was sleeping on the street and a little rude with the pedestrians that were walking around and visiting the area.
Beware of Parking $$
Nov 25, 2024Michelle RLos Angeles, California
I loved the Hotel, but beware of the hotel parking prices: $75 per night. So, if you're planning to rent a car, avoid it and save for a ride-sharing service, depending on your plans during the stay. The hotel price is reasonable, but with almost $200 extra in parking doesn't seem right.
Clean hotel with good bar/ coffee options
Nov 21, 2024mrittman08Seattle, Washington
We loved our stay here! Friendly staff. Clean space. Great bar/ coffee options. Good price. Would def stay again! Centrally located and easy to get around town. We did park at a lot next door to save about $40. We used Spot Hero to find a cheaper parking spot.
Great overall- would stay again.

I would have given it a 5 if the shower pressure had been stronger. But everything else was great! Much more character than the big chains in the area. Excellent light in the bathroom. And I've always loved the bar there. Also, the staff are not on strike- I wouldn't have wanted to have to cross a picket line.
