This is just the best place to stay, the open top sight seeing bus stops a few blocks away, the tram terminus is in the next street and you can walk to where you get the ferry for Alcatraz. Walk out of the hotel and take a right and you're amongst all the shops and restaurants, some great places for... more

Close to Ghiradelli Square and cable car turnabout. Wonderful old brick building. The rooms were quiet and the beds and linen were very good. Parking is $40 but 25% discount if you have a hybrid. At the rental desk you get another discoun for Hybrids so a good deal there as well. We booked an inside room but they upgraded... more

This was a fantastic hotel. The location is perfect. The rooms are lovely, we had three to a room and it was a very good size. Alcatraz & the Golden Gate Bridge are just outside, a short stroll. The cable cars are just outside too. The wine tasting each evening was a great end to a day too! Highly recommended. more

Wonderful hotel. So friendly and homely. We had booked and paid for other hotels before leaving the UK, but wished we had stayed there the whole time. We moved to the 5* Fairmont after, but it was nowhere near as good as the Argonaut. more

Just returned from spending 4 nights at teh Argonaut in San Francisco. The hotel is located on Fisherman's Wharf. The location is excellent. Ghardelli square and Pier 39 are just a short walk away. The service and condition of the hotel was superb. They have free wine in the lobby from 5 to 6 each night, which was nice. There... more

Kimpton properties never disappoint, and this gem on Fisherman's Wharf is no exception. Clever and sleek nautical decor, gracious and attentive service, your selection of outstanding restaurants at every price range nearby (including an In-n-Out Burger!), and no fewer than three good quality bike rental shops within a 9-iron of the front door (6 mi to the Golden Gate, 11... more

We stayed 2 nights. The rooms were cozy. It felt like you were in a cruise ship because of the nautical themes. Complimentary wine tasting every 5pm (this past week they were show casing Francis Coppola cabs). It was pretty good. The best thing about this hotel is the location. It is so close to a lot of cool spots... more

I went to check out this hotel for a business meeting, but would definitely return as a family. This newer property is on the north end of Fisherman's Wharf and has a completely different feel that the busier part of the Wharf. It juts up to a park where the cable cars turn around (but never heard one smidge of... more

Love my stay at this hotel. It wasn't overly fancy and had a fun, casual feel to it. The staff was extremely accomodating and friendly. They remembered my name throughout the duration of my stay and were very helpful. The hotel also offered a free wine "happy hour" each night that was definitely a perk to staying there. Great location,... more
