Read glowing press about our San Francisco boutique hotel on the edge of the Presidio Forest.
One of San Francisco’s many jewels, the 1500-acre Presidio National Park has hiking trails, a sandy beach and a lovely hotel. The Inn at the Presidio is in an elegant Georgian Revival-style building that would have been a home for bachelor officers when the park was a U.S. Army Post.
On April 1, – the historic Inn at the Presidio will open for guests after being closed for most of the past year. This celebratory reopening is nine years to the day after the Inn originally opened on April 1, 2012 with much fanfare as the first lodging in the Presidio. “We are thrilled to welcome guests again to our serene getaway,” says Terry Haney, Managing Director, Presidio Lodging. “Spring is a time for renewal and as we reopen our doors, we look forward to being that restorative refuge that people are seeking.”
By Katie Hammel A 1,500-acre park on a former military post, San Francisco’s Presidio is an icon of the city and a great green expanse that’s also home to several acclaimed restaurants, museums, activities—and even two spectacular hotels. Both hotels, the Lodge at the Presidio and the Inn at the Presidio, are run by the
Check in to Inn at the Presidio for a quintessential B&B right in the centre of the Presidio neighbourhood, at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge.
For a less urban option, book a two-room King Suite at this 26-room inn located in the area’s forested parkland. With its 24 miles of hiking trails, 25 miles of biking trails, and an 18-hole golf course, the park feels like an extension of the Georgian revival-style inn, which features country-style décor and views of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Built in 1903 and opened as a hotel in 2012, this two-story, Georgian Revival–style building served as officers’ quarters in military days past and now has 26 guest rooms—17 of them suites–decked out in handsome furnishings.
The inn’s main building is an old military officers’ quarters that underwent an expensive conversion in 2012, transforming the 1903 Georgian Revival building into a luxury lodge with 22 spacious guestrooms.
While both hotels are located within San Francisco’s Presidio National Park and share a sense of history, they offer distinctly different experiences in style and setting.
The Inn at the Presidio is an intimate retreat housed in a beautifully restored Georgian Revival building that once served as U.S. Army officers' quarters. With just 22 rooms — most of them spacious suites with fireplaces — the Inn emphasizes historic charm, quiet elegance, and a cozy, residential feel. Guests enjoy complimentary breakfast, evening wine and cheese, and a peaceful forested location.
The Lodge at the Presidio, by contrast, offers a more contemporary "basecamp" experience in the heart of the Main Post. Once Army barracks, it now features modern rooms with sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco Bay, or the surrounding parklands. Amenities include complimentary breakfast, wine and cheese receptions, outdoor seating with fire pits, and easy access to trails and nearby attractions.
In short, choose the Inn for a quiet, historic hideaway — or the Lodge for a stylish, centrally located home base for exploring the Presidio.
