About Argonaut Hotel

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.

    Had a terrible experience when we first pulled up to valet. On of the staff including what appeared to be a supervisor of some sort , no signs that valet moved , my jacket went missing from the vehicle , 2 different human hairs found in the bathroom , sheets had a mildew smell, courtyard view was a stretch.

    Our stay at the Argonaut hotel was incredible! The hotel was charming and very comfortable! It was located close to the wharf and very convenient to get around!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We loved the little wine bar adjoining the property, which had great wines and super friendly staff. The lack of central lighting in the bedroom meant the room felt dark.

    The staff were kind, the rooms were clean, excellent breakfast, so happy we stayed here on our first visit to San francisco!
