Inn Above Tide
The modern boutique property exists in perfect harmony with San Francisco Bay: from its concrete and timber pilings thrust directly into the water to the century-old sea wall that retains the courtyard and the porthole windows found throughout the hotel. Be sure to book a room with a private deck and a fireplace for breezy evenings, and take advantage of the complimentary binoculars: the floor-to-ceiling windows and balcony are prime for taking in the harbor’s kayakers, sea lions, and migratory birds.
