 Argonaut Hotel 

Seafaring style

An ode to both the Gold Rush era and its waterfront location, The Argonaut crushes on-trend nautical elegance without sacrificing history and is our default choice for San Fran.

Taking design cues from its 1907 Haslett Warehouse building, The Argonaut, sitting at the quiet end of Fisherman’s Wharf, is a satisfying blend of original brick walls, Douglas Fir beams, wide plank floors and ship wheels on the walls. Open the front door and you can almost see boats of crab bobbing on the water. Bellmen are dressed in nautical style, steamer ship style chairs furnish the living room and the courtyard is put to stunning use with hypnotic fire pits, a selection of games and a menu of micro-brew beers and handcrafted cocktails. The Blue Mermaid restaurant employs a similar vibe with a rough-hewn timber and thick braided rope design and cracking views of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Why we love Argonaut Hotel

  • They’ve sneaked in fire pits, seafood and rooms with incredible views to make this former fruit cannery full of flavour

  • Order their award-winning crab and corn chowder at Blue Mermaid and get a real taste of San Francisco

  • Use one of the hotel's bikes to cycle across the Golden Gate Bridge

  • Explore San Francisco the traditional way - the Powell & Hyde Cable Car Turnaround is within walking distance
