“The Clift Hotel is SF's meeting spot du jour” 7x7 (March 2020) “Originally constructed for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915, the hotel takes a hint from that time period. Even the meeting and event spaces honor those who played a large part in cultivating that historic fair: The space formerly known as the Velvet Room, and before that Asia de Cuba, is now named after George Applegarth, the original architect of The Clift." |
