The Clift enjoys an excellent central location in the shopping district around Union Square. Behind centuries-old facades it opens into a modern world of design and subtle elegance. The signature of Philippe Starck leaves an impression like a red thread through the building – from the lobby, which stages furniture pieces from Eames to Magritte as objets d’art between imposing sculptures, to rooms with “wheelbarrows” – wooden chairs, Murano-glass lamps, floor-to-ceiling mirrors and lilac and violet tones that come together on sycamores. The elegant bar in the historic Redwood Room, with its Mammoth-Kauri paneling, is a beloved meeting point for rich and beautiful youth.
