Located in the historic Haslett Warehouse, the Argonaut's home is a grand building built in 1907. Inspired by the Greek legend and Gold Rush-era adventurers, it's one of those rare places in San Francisco that truly merits a term like iconic. The boutique hotel is also celebrated for an unsurpassed level of 4-Diamond style service and amenities that provide an unforgettable destination experience. Guestroom and suite elements such as textured faux leather wall treatments and canvas wrapped tuxedo-style sofas. While some areas of this family-friendly San Francisco hotel, such as the lobby and meeting spaces, are now accented with luxe touches like oversized upholstered furniture and nautically themed wall treatments.

The Argonaut Hotel is ideally located in the Bay Area, right by Fisherman’s Wharf, with many of San Francisco’s main attractions within easy walking distance. It was a fantastic base for exploring the city, including visiting the famous sea lions and the marine park. One of the highlights was being able to see Alcatraz directly from our bedroom window! The hotel was clean, and our room was a decent size, making it a comfortable place to stay while exploring San Francisco. However, there were a couple of disappointments. The hotel restaurant closes very early by UK standards, which is worth bearing in mind if you are used to eating later in the evening. Also, although there were doormen on duty, none offered to help us with our luggage, either on arrival or departure, so we had to carry everything to and from our room ourselves. This was disappointing for a hotel of this standard. Overall, the location is a real selling point, particularly if you want to explore Fisherman’s Wharf and the waterfront on foot. With a little more attention to guest service, the experience could have been even better.

Stayed here for three nights in October and absolutely loved it! A fabulous location with easy walking to Fisherman’s Wharf and Ghirardelli Square, and to the trolley stop. The room was comfy, and clean, although a bit noisy ( we had a courtyard room that backed out onto a road), the vibe is very Californian and relaxed. We had breakfast each morning in the Mermaid Grill, and it was really good, the menu is a little limited however and we were running out of options by day three. Michelle served us and she was excellent, friendly and pretty much perfect at her job! We did try to go for a drink one evening but the service was really poor, and after 10 minutes we gave up and went back to our room. However all in all it was a fabulous stay, with wonderful staff ( the doorman was very helpful) and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Many thanks to you all.

Loved this hotel. Comfy beds and gorgeous views of The Golden Gate Bridge l, the cable cars( ride them in am not as busy) very walkable to Ghirardelli and Fisherman’s wharf and shops. A perfect location. We. Had dinner and breakfast in their restaurant the blue mermaid. Excellent! The concierge was very helpful with information for us. Everyone was friendly. Only negative is the items available for purchase in your room are out in baskets. Could be tempting. We brought our own. Highly recommend.
