SAN FRANCISCO, CA – MARCH 29, 2021 – On April 1, – the historic Inn at the Presidio will open for guests after being closed for most of the past year.

Ideal for a tranquil escape, the 26-room Inn is surrounded by 1,500 acres of space with enchanting forests, nearly 50 miles of hiking and biking trails, stunning beaches, an 18-hole public golf course, and breathtaking vistas of the Golden Gate Bridge. Many park businesses are beginning to reopen and welcome back visitors.

What is the difference between the Inn at the Presidio and the Lodge at the Presidio?

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.
