Historic army quarters and contemporary lodges at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge — the Bay Area's strongest family base, with a national park on the doorstep and San Francisco a ferry ride away. The setting-to-price ratio is unmatched.
Why We Chose It
Cavallo Point Lodge occupies a former US Army base at the northern foot of the Golden Gate Bridge, with views of the bridge, Bay, and SF skyline that no city hotel can match. The historic buildings are Victorian-era officers' quarters with wraparound porches; the contemporary lodges use sustainable materials. The Healing Arts spa, excellent restaurant, and proximity to Marin Headlands trails make it a complete resort. 10 minutes to SF by car or ferry — far enough to feel like an escape, close enough to explore.
