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.
