Fishman's Wharf and Pier 39 |
| |
San Francisco's most popular destinations, Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 are a "must see" for any visitor to the Bay Area. From the early Gold Rush days, when ships would unload thousands of fortune-seekers, to today's fishermen unloading their daily catch, Fisherman's Wharf has played a prominent role in San Francisco history. Now you can stay at a luxury Fisherman's Wharf hotel and be right in the center of this historic San Francisco district.
Fisherman's Wharf Sites
Hotel guests will find a wide variety of things to see and do on Fisherman's Wharf, all within easy walking distance from our luxury boutique hotel. Find yourself in the open-air patio of the historic Cannery, now a major shopping destination where you can explore the plentiful charming boutiques and galleries. Adjacent to our waterfront hotel is the Aquatic Park and Swimming Lagoon. Visit the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park and Visitor Center, a 10,000 square feet interactive museum, featuring a Visitor Center in the hotel lobby, the Maritime Museum, Maritime Library, and the fascinating historic vessels at Hyde Street Pier, including the Balclutha and Eureka. Explore nearby Fort Mason, featuring a wealth of the city's early history. Stop in at Ghirardelli Square to see how chocolate is made and savor a sundae before leaving.
Fisherman's Wharf also makes a perfect starting place to other San Francisco destinations - take a ride on the famous cable cars to Union Square, or hop on a ferry bound for infamous Alcatraz. Sail to Angel Island, one of the last undeveloped islands in the Bay.

Pier 39 Attractions
A short walk along the waterfront brings you to Pier 39, a former commercial pier converted into a shopping and dining area. Look for the sea lions that lounge just offshore - you will likely hear their distinctive bark before you see them. Visit the Aquarium of the Bay and learn about the sea life beneath the waves. Visit the classic Venetian Carousel and watch street performers on the pier. Along the way, browse through the many unique shops with treasures of their own.
When it's time to return to the Argonaut Hotel, hail a pedicab or horse-drawn carriage, or stroll along the waterfront, and enjoy the incredible views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Bay.
The Argonaut Hotel is one of the newest additions to Kimpton Hotels and the undisputed new star along Fisherman's Wharf.
