About

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.

    • Great location. Knowledge staff. Friendly. Kind. Discount in restaurant as well as discount at Ben and Jerry's ice cream next door.
    • Location! This hotel is right at the wharf and has so many cute places around it.

    Cons -

    • Could not sell older mug with gold lettering like I had for breakfast. New mugs have white lettering. Not as classy looking.
    • There were lack of pens for some reason. Even from the staff!
    • There was absolutely nothing that I noticed that would be a problem for me.

    There were lack of pens for some reason. Even from the staff!

    10TobyPosted on: 3-25-2023

    The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean and absolutely beautiful. Definitely a 4-5 star hotel. It is a ritzy and glamorous looking building and they have very helpful customer service. 10/10, will definitely return.

    There was absolutely nothing that I noticed that would be a problem for me.

    8JoelPosted on: 11-22-2022

    Location! Everything was walking distance. Hotel is super clean and the staff was super friendly and respectful.

    The valet in my opinion is extremely overpriced. $70 plus. We waited over a half hour to get our vehicle even after requesting it with the 10 minute request. There is a parking garage about 5 minute walk that is a way better and cheaper option.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 9-23-2022

    Great location! The hotel has unique character and was very nice. Views from the room were beautiful and the room was comfortable.

    10PatriciaPosted on: 5-21-2022

    The historical feel with the great amenities. The bed and pillows were soooo comfy!! Location was great for wandering.

    No!

    10NikosPosted on: 3-9-2022

    Overall my experience was pleasant. The staff, location of the property, and restaurant exceeded my expectations.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 1-4-2022

    Service, location, clean, rooms were big.

    Bed pillows were too soft and un-supportive. Attached Blue Mermaid restaurant did not have a large breakfast menu or serve flavored Lattes.

    6RussellPosted on: 1-3-2022

    Location was by far the best and the reason we chose this hotel

    You are paying $----$--- a night usually for this hotel. When an employee lets you know nicely that it includes 2 cups of coffee in the morning at their downstairs restaurant and when you go they want to charge you for it. kind of a turn off to be asked

    10StephaniePosted on: 7-16-2021

    The staff was very helpful. The rooms were decorated beautifully, large & beds were comfortable. They even had a cute little sea lion on the bed. Parking was $65, but completely worth it as you know your car is safe. Walking distance to everything.

    8J MichaelPosted on: 2-13-2020

    Quiet, good price, convenience, location.

    Water pressure was pretty terrible. The breakfast lacked decent options for certain diets.

    9LisaPosted on: 1-28-2020

    The nautical decor was great. It was warm and cozy with the fireplace in the lobby.

    They got our phone number incorrect and never called us to tell us our room was ready. We checked in at 10:30am and left our bags and didn't hear from them all day until I called at 4. Took 40 min to get us our correct car first one not ours

    9Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 1-27-2020

    The staff were excellent with Customer Service from cleaning maids, front desk, bellhops, and valet attendants. Location was easy to access the wharf and piers along with the cable car system. We felt very safe in the hotel location.

    $65 daily parking fee and $30 amenities fee each night.

    8MaxinePosted on: 1-7-2020

    Location, ambiance in the lobby

    I could not get my favorite TV station. They use satellite TV.

    9Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 10-21-2019

    Very clean. Bed mattress superb! Location -the best!!

    Location and view of the original room was over a roof. Upon request i was assigned a room one floor higher which was still over the roof but not as dark as the original room.

    7Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 10-19-2019

    Good location at the far end of Fisherman’s Wharf hoopla. I block up the hill to Buena Vista cafe.

    $6 for a bottle of water in the room!!!

    8YaldaPosted on: 8-23-2019

    Location was fantastic! Free bikes for 2 hours.

    So much dust in the rooms around all the lamps. The rooms are very small and narrow and given the impression they are large with the extensive use of mirrors. The carpets are very worn out in the hallways. Water needs quicker replenishment in the lobby.

    8Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-12-2019

    Majority of the staff was excellent. Walking distance to almost everything. The room was clean.

    The concierge is hard to deal with. Poor attitude. Discourage us to wait for the cable car. Made a sarcastic comment with the line being too long. Good luck he said. He also charged me for 3 adults for Hop on Hop off when my 8-10 kids is next to me.

    10MichaelPosted on: 7-18-2019

    Unequivocally the best customer service we have ever received at any hotel, anywhere. Wonderful room décor, great lobby for visiting, exceptional location right on the wharf and centrally located with easy walking access to everything there.

    Not a single thing.
