The Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel is rolling out the carpet (the red one, obviously) for Frameline50!

The Duchess, The Clift's own bejeweled, Bay-basking mascot, has thoughts on how to do Pride properly: stay where the glamor is!

The hotel, located in the vibrant Theater District, is offering a San Francisco Pride package, including:

- full breakfast for two daily
- two cocktails of your choice in the legendary Redwood Room (alcoholic or non)
- a welcome amenity when you arrive.

The best part: every night you stay sends $10 to local nonprofits serving San Francisco's LGBTQ+ community. Available during Pride Month and all year long.

The hotel is steps from the parade route on Market Street and a short walk from Civic Center's celebrations.

On Thursday, May 21, the Redwood Room was full as historian Peter Devine led an evening devoted to San Francisco’s most legendary hotels: The Mark Hopkins, the Fairmont, the Palace, the St. Francis, the Sir Francis Drake, and The Clift Royal Sonesta itself.

Joining him were Ron Henggeler, whose decades at the Huntington Hotel’s Big 4 Restaurant gave him a front-row seat to the city’s hospitality history, and Marianne Milton, The Clift’s Director of Sales & Marketing.

Thank you to everyone who attended, and a special thank you to our partners at the San Francisco Historical Society and Alta Journal.

Next up: Thursday, June 18, Shawn Sprockett, from Unspeakable Vice, on “How San Francisco Became America’s Gay Capital.” Free with RSVP.

This staircase will stop you before taking the first step!

The repeating, ornate ironwork of the stairs that run between multiple floors at The Clift Royal Sonesta is just one example of architectural details to seek out during your next visit.
