Rough Guide "Surprisingly quiet, given its tourist-stampeded location."
Michelin Guide "An unrivaled location... As if that's not enough to whet your appetite, the coveted hotel looks straight across to the sparkling San Francisco Bay and the Park's fleet of historic ships."
Travel + Leisure "Housed in the 1907 Haslett Warehouse, the Argonaut is the only hotel located in the Maritime National Historical Park." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This historic 1907 San Francisco building is now home to a maritime-themed boutique hotel."
Fodor's "The spacious rooms, many with a sofa bed in the sitting area, have recently been redesigned but still spotlight exposed-brick walls and wood-beam ceilings." Full review
Star Service "This still ranks among the best small hotels here, and it remains a champion along the north end of Fisherman's Wharf." Full review
Gayot "Set in Fisherman's Wharf, this Kimpton Group hotel goes for broke with its maritime theme."

"Drop anchor at this "nautical-themed" "secret" (part of the Kimpton chain), which offers a "breath of fresh air" thanks to "nice-sized" quarters with Frette linens and in-room spa treatments."

"Though the amenities are of an upper-end hotel... some rooms are tiny and get limited sunlight." Full review
Time Out "Built into a historic fruit-packing warehouse, this beautiful luxury hotel is the best in the area by far." Full review

Rough Guide "Hushed, opulent landmark building... Stay here for snob value, above all."
Michelin Guide "Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's the grandest of them all? Why, the Palace, of course. This grande dame proudly shows off her old-world refinement."
Frommer's "The original 1875 Palace was one of the world's largest and most luxurious hotels, and every time you walk through the doors here, you'll be reminded how incredibly majestic old luxury really is." Full review
Concierge "The Palace is San Francisco's most storied hotel."
Fodor's ""Majestic" is the word that best sums up this landmark hotel, which was the world's largest and most luxurious when it opened in 1875." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"The cushy (if staid) accommodations cater to expense-account travelers, but prices drop weekends." Full review
Oyster Upscale
"Boasting ample turn-of-the-20th-century elegance and 550 rooms on only eight floors (dig these corridors), the Palace is aptly named." Full review
Travel + Leisure "When the Palace Hotel was built on New Montgomery Street in 1875, it was thought to be the largest and costliest luxury hotel in the world." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Early in the 20th century the Palace was one of the most famous hotels in the world, hosting royalty and heads of state, including President Harding, who died here in his sleep in 1923."
Star Service "It remains a historic reminder of San Francisco's florid past, making a stark contrast to the gleaming modern city that is being rebuilt around it." Full review
