This is THE hotel for people that enjoy a stylish paired-down minimal estetic, high threadcount bed-linins and unobtrusive service. The Clift does NOT come across as forced. The Clift IS. This hotel clearly has style, vibe and substance without the typical excesses of sylistic "noise and pretention" found at many other hotels. You already know you must be cool by just staying there, so you don't need to be re-informed by your surroundings or some fake kiss-ass staff member trying to make you feel like you are worth more than your own personal self identity. My wife and I stay at the Clift every Anniversary. Our decor at home is French Country so we feel like we have escaped to a whole new world when we stay at the Clift. We don't require a great deal of hand holding from staff and find forced cordiality to be offensive. The Clift staff are quiet, unobtrusive and there when you need them. The Hotel is cool without trying to be cool. You catch yourself trying to figure out just how they did it. I highly recommend this hotel to people who are looking to experience a hotel outside the typical hotel experience.
