The Clancy is an art-forward hotel in San Francisco’s SoMa district, close to museums, the Embarcadero and the city’s technology and design corridors. The interiors use colour, graphic details and local references to create a fresher mood than a conventional downtown hotel. Rooms are clean-lined and practical, with selected city views, while the courtyard, lobby and Seven Square Taproom give the property several relaxed spaces beyond the bedroom. It feels contemporary, casual and well placed for a varied San Francisco stay.
