Argonaut Hotel Review
When the four-story Haslett Warehouse was a fruit-and-vegetable canning complex in 1907, boats docked right up against the building; today it's a hotel with a nautical decor—think anchors, ropes, compasses, and a row of cruise-ship deck chairs in the lobby—that makes perfect sense given the fact that the Argonaut is part of the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park (whose visitors center occupies the ground floor). 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. Windows open to the sea air and the sounds of the waterfront, and many rooms have views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. Suites come with extra-deep whirlpool tubs and telescopes for close-up views of passing ships.
