During a long weekend trip to San Francisco (October 2008), we stayed at the Argonaut Hotel, which was exceptional. I decided on this hotel partially because of its high rating among reviewers on Tripadvisor.com and partially because I have had great experiences with Kimpton Hotels. Our room and the public areas were clean and stylishly decorated (the hotel has a nautical theme). The employees were so friendly and helpful. Even though the neighborhood is crowded and busy (Fisherman's Wharf), it was quiet inside the hotel. There is also complimentary daily evening wine reception. The four-story timber and brick landmark building was built in 1908 as a warehouse for the California Fruit Canners Association.
The lobby:
I think these chairs are adorable. People sat here during the wine reception.
The building:
The hotel is located on the corner of Jefferson and Hyde.
Our room:
I love the L'Occitane toiletries the hotel provides.
Our delicious California-style chowder with French sourdough bread (a meal can't get more San Franciscan than that!) at the hotel restaurant, Blue Mermaid Chowder House:
