Argonaut Hotel
A nautical-themed hotel in a historic Cannery building right at Fisherman's Wharf.
The call
Worth it for the right traveler.
Why
- 01
Exposed brick and timber give it a warm, maritime character, and you're steps from the water.
Our read - 02
It's touristy by location but characterful inside.
