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.

    Fun spot on Fisherman’s Wharf. Easy to walk everywhere. Nice room, good shower. Nice bar and bartender.

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    Great location - distinctly different hotel- well done!

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    Location. Room was generally noisy. A wild ‘party’ was in room next to us on second night. Noise was terrible but full marks to hotel - I rang reception and they got it sorted.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    It was great but it does not have microwave and no coffee machine.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Very clear room, excellent views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. Only drawback was no in room coffee machine. It said one was available upon request, but I requested multiple times without success. Otherwise, location was amazing! Good place to stay if wanting to visit Fisherman’s Wharf.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Amazing stay. All the staff were incredible! Phenomenal location, clean and spacious rooms. Will definitely stay again!

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Great location, beds are comfortable but it was a bit hot in the room even with the AC turned down. Overall help staff and clean rooms

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Comfortable bed and spacious room. Top-notch hotel location. The gym is adequate for a holiday stay. Not very suitable for highly sensitive individuals: the window coverings don't fully block out the light, and the room remains noisy even with the AC and mini-fridge turned off.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Beautiful Hotel with a great location near all the Pier 39 attractions restaurant open for Breakfast,Lunch and Dinner, staff were accommodating and friendly

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The hotel was uniquely cool and the staff was fantastic! I liked everything about the property.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    We stayed in a City View King room. The rooms were massive - so much space! Also had a sofa/lounge area. Something to be aware of though is that the room looked out on the neighbouring Cannery Building and courtyard. The hotel also has an internal courtyard, and these Courtyard rooms are the entry level room types. It was a little confusing, but very quiet and arguably better than an actual city view, where you would hear the constant Cable Car rotation and traffic. Another thing of note, the room did not have coffee/tea making facilities and there was no mention of any in the Amenities list on the website. When we checked out, we were told there was complimentary tea/coffee in the lobby/restaurant. I wish this would have been explained at Check In rather than Check Out. Also, the website clearly states that there are Special Offers at Ben & Jerry's and The Winery Collective, both attached to the hotel. However, when I enquired about the Winery Collective, I was told it had no affiliation with the hotel and no deals included. I think the website should be updated with the actual amenities list.

    Lovely room, great views, friendly staff, fab cocktails
