Clift Hotel, Redwood Room

• Hours: Sun-Thu 5pm-2am, Fri-Sat 4pm-2am

Description

Say what you will about the newly remodeled Redwood Room (named for the walls made from redwood trees), it's still one of the most striking places to grab an overpriced martini. From the whimsical Ian Schrager redesign to the perfectly awesome and minimalist bathrooms done by Philippe Starck, this is a fascinating place, popular with the upper-crust beautiful people trying to be seen or photographed for Paper City. The DJ sounds, though, are more background music than dance floor fodder.
