San Francisco was reborn from the ashes of 1906, and The Clift Royal Sonesta is part of that story. When the earthquake and fire swept through the city, it leveled more than 25,000 buildings and displaced hundreds of thousands of residents. What followed was one of the most ambitious reconstruction efforts in American history. The Clift opened its doors just nine years later, in 1915, as San Francisco prepared to welcome the world for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. It was a statement of arrival: a city that had not merely survived, but transformed. Over a century later, we are still here. Follow the link in our bio to book your stay. #TheClift #StaySonesta
