The Argonaut Hotel—Maritime National Historical Park anchors a prime section of Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco’s most popular destination. Whether in a group of 5 or 500, everyone thrills to heart-stopping views of Alcatraz Island, the Golden Gate Bridge, Oakland Bay Bridge, Coit Tower, the Transamerica Pyramid, and ships on the bay.

San Francisco’s Powell/Hyde Street cable car makes its turnaround right across the street. Guests between meetings can walk to the historic tall ships at Hyde Street Pier, the swimming lagoon at Aquatic Park, and attractions at The Cannery, Pier 39, and Ghirardelli Square.

The hotel shares its nautical theme and ground floor with the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park’s Visitor Center, which lends its 10,000-square-foot interactive exhibit for banquets and receptions after hours. By day, the Golden Gate Ballroom and Constellation Meeting Room hold conferences in 7,000 square feet of flexible, pillarless space, near patios available from the neighboring Del Monte Courtyard and Blue Mermaid Chowder House.

Maritime touches in the lobby range from a reception desk resembling a steamer trunk to light fixtures like portholes and lounge chairs like those of an ocean liner. Business-minded amenities in the 252 rooms range from complimentary Starbucks coffee to WebTV and safes sized for laptops. Ideal for VIPs, the 13 King Suites furnish generous space for hospitality, deep whirlpool tubs, and brass telescopes worthy of a sea captain’s quarters.

Very unique, nautical themed hotel right on the water. You can't beat the location if you want a hotel near the wharf. This hotel puts "green" practices into place, and of course has the quirky and distinctive Kimpton flair.
