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.

Pros +

  • Staff was great, very welcoming and helpful. Room was exceptionally clean and our view of the Golden Gate Bridge was phenomenal. Location was perfect. This is going to be our go to hotel for now on.
  • Excellent location and large rooms. Would definitely stay here again.
  • Great location. Knowledge staff. Friendly. Kind. Discount in restaurant as well as discount at Ben and Jerry's ice cream next door.

Cons -

  • Nothing.
  • 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!

Location! This hotel is right at the wharf and has so many cute places around it.

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