Legendary San Francisco nightspot in the Clift Hotel established back in 1934 but recently undergone a $US50 million makeover from the Ian Schrager-Philippe Starck hotel collaboration. The Redwood Room has retained their original structure and has been extremely well received.

Those fans of the art deco jewel in LA, Bullocks-Wilshire, will love it.

Get there before 11 pm to avoid the doormen and lines.

The drinks choice: lychee and lavender martinis are a hit; the Key Lime Tartini with vanilla vodka, butterscotch schnapps and lime is a liquid dessert; and the Honeysuckle made with orange honey and cointreau is a sweet tooth's fantasy.
