"The standout feature at this San Francisco institution is a massive redwood bar, carved almost a century ago from 2,000-year-old Redwoods and flanked with both paintings by Gustav Klimt and matching redwood walls that soar gloriously toward the ceiling. Recently, the entire hotel was overhauled to bring the Redwood Room back to its former glory, including a gussied-up cocktail program." - Kate Dingwall
