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.

There’s everything to love about Argonaut. Super friendly staff who go out of their way to help, clean and comfy rooms (great beds!), warm and classy atmosphere that manages to feel boutique despite being quite large, super location (so much food), and an excellent restaurant downstairs (Blue Mermaid). Loved every minute of our stay. My kids and I thank you, Argonaut!

We loved our stay at the beautiful Argonaut. The hotel was lovely and was a fun ambience for San Francisco. My kids thought it was very fancy! The location is spectacular - in walking distance from many of the amazing attractions San Francisco has to offer. And it is right near the water which was special. The rooms were clean and spacious. The service was very on point and everyone was quite friendly. Nils was especially helpful. Thanks for a great stay! We would happily return.

The location was great and centrally located in fisherman’s wharf. The rooms were very nice and clean. The atmosphere was very nautical oriented with upscale charm. The value was reasonable. Noise levels were low inside the room and hotel. There were fewer amenities than I’m accustomed to, but that seemed to be commonplace in SF. We dined at the blue mermaid for dinner; cocktails were good, entrees satisfying, and the “Indian Mango Cheesecake” Brian recommend was delicious. The service was outstanding, thank you to Matt, Ruben, and Carlos (I think) for making our stay very special and personable.

We stayed for 8 nights over New Year at the Argonaut and were really impressed with this hotel! From the friendly, helpful staff to the design and cleanliness of the hotel, we couldn’t have been happier with our stay! We stayed on the 4th floor with a room overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, which was a stunning view! We had two big extremely comfortable beds and there was even a very lovely thoughtful gift of wine and chocolate left for my nye birthday! We took advantage of the continental breakfast vouchers on the Blue Mermaid each morning which was superb too. The position of the hotel is excellent within walking distance of so much. Overall, the hotel made our stay in San Francisco even better and we hope to return!

The Argonaut Hotel was the perfect hotel for a visit to the wharf/pier in San Francisco. The location was exactly where we wanted ..."in the heart of the San Francisco Pier area". The hotel is adorned in a nautical atmosphere, with nautical carpeting in the upstairs leading to our room , a ship model in the lobby with exposed brick throughout, a cosy warm fireplace and nautical museum next door ! The theme carries through to the bar/restaurant. The transition from the hotel to the next door bar is seamless with the same pleasant vibe that one receives in the hotel. The hotel and bar staff were very nice and friendly and offered tips on the area sights. The bar/restaurant food and three chowders were unmatched in taste !!! At the time of our travel to the hotel a discounted card was offered to us for the Italian restaurant across the street. That food as well was excellent ! I highly recommend this hotel and all its accoutrements.
