The Redwood Room, a San Francisco institution famous for its paneling carved from a single redwood tree, has been newly reenergized by global design and architecture firm Gensler with 21st century elegance that includes updated furniture and flooring, as well as an expansive new redwood bar. The restaurant’s redesign features a modern interpretation of the Art Deco style with clean lines and neutral tones. Redwood Room patrons will also find restored original light fixtures and artwork that includes four pieces believed to have been completed under Gustav Klimt’s supervision in his Vienna studio. These famed large-scale artworks were part of the original decor of the Redwood Room at its opening just after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933 for the San Francisco World’s Fair celebration.
The Redwood Room is located in The Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel at 495 Geary St. in San Francisco.
