Featuring in-room spa services, an onsite National Park Service museum, and a classic San Francisco seafood restaurant, the Argonaut Hotel offers a truly one-of-a-kind stay in the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf. This eco-friendly luxury hotel is set within the historic red-brick Del Monte Cannery building and offers beautiful views across San Francisco Bay. Valet parking is available. The Argonaut’s newly refreshed guestrooms (completed in Spring 2025) blend modern comfort with a sophisticated nautical style. Rooms feature rich blue-and-gold accents, exposed brick details, spacious layouts, a flat-screen TV, mini-bar, in-room safe, and convenient filtered water stations on every guest floor. The Blue Mermaid Chowder House & Bar serves award-winning chowders and fresh seafood in a relaxed, historic setting—perfect for lunch, dinner, or cocktails after a day of exploring the Wharf. Guests can enjoy the 24-hour fitness center, onsite business services, and immediate access to waterfront walking paths, historic ships, Cable Cars, and Ghirardelli Square. The USS Pampanito submarine is an 8-minute walk from the hotel, and the Exploratorium is less than 2.5 miles away.

This is a wonderful Hotel in a perfect location on Fisherman's Wharf. It is a short walk t the cable car stop and numerous bars and restaurants. We were lucky enough to be offered a very reasonable upgrade to a Bay View room so woke up every morning to the sun raising over the Golden Gate Bridge which was amazing. The rooms are a good size with king bed, a sofa and lots of hanging space. The bathroom has everything you need. Housekeeping was excellent. The restaurant/bar attached to the Hotel (the Blue Mermaid) is great, particularly for breakfast. Free coffee in the lobby every morning is a nice touch. The staff are lovely, always smilingandfriendly - special mention to the very helpful Carlos on reception, Peter our excellent server for breakfast and Chris the wonderful doorman who gave us some great tips for places to eat and drink. If you are thinking of staying in the beautiful city of San Francisco i can not recommend this Hotel highly enough!
Everything was perfect
