Our Hotel

A storied history sets the stage for discerning travelers looking to create their own San Francisco story.

Located in the historic Haslett Warehouse and built in 1907, the Argonaut’s home in Fisherman’s Wharf is a grand building of exposed brick, Douglas Fir beams and so much character; you feel as though you can almost reach out and touch the colorful Barbary Coast past. Thoughtful details throughout the guest rooms and lobby, bountiful fresh seafood on the menu, and the adjacent National Maritime Visitor Center all play a part to tell the San Francisco boutique hotel’s Gold Rush-era inspired story.

Legendary Experiences, Shared By Our Valued Guests

Stellar Customer Service
“It was our third wedding anniversary - we were greeted with a “Happy 3rd Anniversary,” and when we came back to our room, there was a bottle of wine and a lovely handwritten note. The service in the hotel, by literally everyone, was outstanding. It houses a museum, which is a lot of fun and offers free bike rentals for 2 hours. The rooms are clean, and you feel very safe. It even houses a wine tasting room. Will definitely stay again.”
A Great Place to Stay in San Fran!
“A beautiful hotel in a superb location! Modern, elegant and luxurious... we found the hotel's guest lounge and our room very welcoming and comfortable. The beds were super comfy and the bathroom spacious and clean. You also couldn't ask for a better location...the hotel is right on the Bay with gorgeous views and just meters from shops, restaurants, cable cars and Fisherman's Wharf. Breakfast at the restaurant was very good, as was the hotel's customer service.”
Worth Every Penny
“The hotel has a really lovely traditional, boutique feel (not like a soulless chain), with modern amenities, and the location cannot be beat. In the span of five minutes we could walk to a beach, two cable car lines, Ghirardelli Square, and Pier 39.”
Ideal!
“The Argonaut Hotel is one of those small boutique hotels that truly delivers. The staff is incredibly accommodating and friendly. The main lobby is inviting and a great place to chill. As a family of four we were incredibly comfortable in our 2-queen bed room, with a cool view of the trolley car turn station and the Golden Gate Bridge. Highly recommend for couples or families.”
Unique, High Quality Hotel, Perfect Location
“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The room was spacious, fantastic, and had these giant, old redwood beams, which added such character. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were amazing. The staff was super friendly and accommodating to a family with two young kids. In-room breakfast was fantastic and prompt.”
A Wonderful, Authentic Boutique Hotel
“My husband has been visiting SF on business for many years and he said this is the best San Francisco business hotel he has stayed in. The front desk are very helpful and the cleanliness of the rooms is superb. We enjoyed sitting in the lobby area with its high backed chairs and coal fire. Everything was first class - you will not be disappointed.”
Great Hotel.......Best Location....
“Everyone with the hotel is so friendly and accommodating, they go well above and beyond for the guests. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Bedding is cloudlike. Nice seating area in the lobby area with a fireplace. The hotel restaurant was even good. There was a wine bar as well. Everything you need is within walking distance. We stayed for 5 nights here and were very happy.”
Fantastic Historic Hotel in a Convenient Spot with Amenities
“Professional staff and great price for a historic hotel that we loved. Neat architecture and history with the convenience of a really great restaurant attached—other walking distance stores and restaurants are in the area, too. Very cozy spot. Staff was some of the best I've ever experienced.”
