STAY SAFE, START LIVING

Your health is our utmost priority. The Argonaut Hotel’s team is committed to protecting the wellbeing of our guests and crewmembers by providing a comfortable and safe environment. Our team has been fully trained on the importance of upholding the highest level of sanitation standards and we’re taking every precaution to protect our guests, community, and staff. We have made several adjustments to our hotel operations to ensure your safety.

Our team has diligently implemented all safety precautions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the California Department of Public Health, and in accordance with state and county guidelines. Even so, it is impossible to eliminate all risks of exposure to infectious disease. If you have specific questions or concerns that are not addressed in the materials provided, please email us at  [email protected] or call 415-563-0800 to be directed to the appropriate member of our team.

Due to our heightened safety measures, some facilities or services may not be available, but we’re committed to making your stay as comfortable as possible with our award-winning service. These are our enhancements to our current cleanliness standards:

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES


We understand that you want to experience more than our hotel when you travel. We also know that venturing out looks a little different than it used to. These are our tips for making the most of San Francisco while also caring for your personal health and safety.

  • Hop on one of our complimentary bikes to take in the views and fresh breeze as you pedal your way through the city by the Bay.
  • Award-winning chowders and one of the only wharf-side patios in Fisherman’s Wharf come together to create your perfect excuse to save the exploration for later. Breakfast, lunch, dinner & happy hour are served up daily at Blue Mermaid.

Activities at the Argonaut Hotel

There are endless options for entertainment without stepping foot off our property. From complimentary board games, Xbox One console, and family-friendly scavenger hunts to fireside libations on our restaurant’s patio, we offer many ways to enjoy our San Francisco waterfront location.

Walking Distance from Argonaut

Fisherman’s Wharf is one of San Francisco’s most iconic neighborhoods – and we’re fortunate to call it our neighborhood. Take a short walk along the boardwalk to Pier 39 or explore the natural beauty of the Palace of the Fine Arts. Ghirardelli Square is just a block away with shopping and dining, along with Aquatic Park to dip your toes in the sand and marvel at the Golden Gate Bridge. Just outside our doors are miles and miles of outdoor to explore.

ENHANCED CLEANLINESS STANDARDS


Our hotel uses cleaning products and protocols which meet EPA guidelines and are approved for use and effective against viruses, bacteria, and other airborne pathogens while protecting the environment. We are working with our vendors, distribution partners, and suppliers to ensure an uninterrupted supply of cleaning supplies and necessary PPE.

Your peace of mind is important to us – if you have additional questions or concerns please email us at [email protected] or call 415-563-0800 to be directed to the appropriate member of our team.
