"Superb, sprawling B&B set in two adjoining historic Victorians."
Fodor's
"Decked out in ornate poster beds, opulent Oriental rugs, and precious Victorian artifacts, guest quarters are everything from cozy... to spacious enough to fit a family." Full review
Lonely Planet
"The stately Inn San Francisco occupies an elegant 1872 Italianate-Victorian mansion, impeccably maintained and packed with period antiques." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"Set in an 1872 mansion, the 21-room property brims with authentic Victorian details... minus the chintz (not a weathered doily in sight)." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"The owner of this 1872 Victorian Mansion will charm you with hospitality. The spacious rooms are individually decorated in Victorian themes."
Time Out
"This friendly Italianate Victorian, built in 1872, invites you to sprawl about in its beautifully restored sitting rooms, rather than just admire them." Full review

"Victorian to the hilt. Beautifully preserved 1872 Italianate mansion, once a farm breeding champion racehorses and now the oldest existing hotel in town."

"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

"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
