The Presidio is a beautiful, sprawling national park site tucked away in the heart of San Francisco and is brimming with fascinating history. From its beginnings under Spanish rule through Mexican control and the establishment of what is present-day San Francisco, to 1846, when the Presidio became a U.S. outpost, this expansive area in the heart of San Francisco has been a renowned military establishment.
Today, the Presidio welcomes guests to discover the rich history and beauty of the area.
The Presidio offers multiple upscale lodging choices, all with magnificent views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Bay. While my stay was at the Inn at the Presidio, the properties share many of the same characteristics and you can’t go wrong with either of these premier on-site lodging options. Here are the reasons I love both of these historic national park site hotels!
The Lodge at The Presidio
Close Proximity To The Golden Gate Bridge
The Lodge at the Presidio, opened in 2018 due to a high demand for more lodging on-site, is a three-story hotel that offers 42 stylish, comfortable guest rooms. Popular with business and pleasure travelers alike, the Lodge offers the closest accommodation to the Golden Gate Bridge in all of San Francisco. Offering understated luxury at its best, the Lodge oozes contemporary charm with a historical flair. Its prime location in the center of the Presidio makes it convenient to much of the action on-site. Directly in front of the building, guests can take advantage of the lush Main Post public greenspace and relax in one of the giant red chairs while taking in the view.
- Creative Historic Restoration
- Complimentary Continental Breakfast
- Evening Wine & Cheese Reception With A View
- Premier Sustainability
Inn at the Presidio
small inn with private location
The Inn at the Presidio is an intimate space that is a destination in itself. Offering 22 king suites in a quiet, out-of-the-way location, the Inn is the perfect getaway spot. Whether you want a quick escape from the city, a romantic weekend, a vacation with the family, or a fabulous girls trip, the Inn is your perfect home away from home. Relax in the rocking chairs on the front porch, or step outside the back door and get lost in the woods. The trails are literally steps away from the Inn. We like the short hike to Inspiration Point.
