At Presidio Lodging, Tranquility Comes Free

These days, we expect boutique hotels to come with some added perks, but how many places offer guests the chance to sleep in deluxe accommodations just steps away from some of the San Francisco’s most breathtaking views? 

At the Presidio of San Francisco, take your choice between two historic hotels, both transformed from their military origins into first-class accommodations with modern comforts and amenities. Embracing sustainable solutions at all turns, the Inn at the Presidio and the Lodge at Presidio provide park guests with unparalleled access to local highlights, from unmatched views of the sunset at Presidio Tunnel Tops to dining at the restaurant  of a recent Top Chef competitor.  

Featuring modern rooms and suites, plus a host of services — like complimentary breakfasts, pet-friendly rooms, and cozy firepits available to enjoy each evening — there’s no better way to take in the Presidio than with a stay at Presidio Lodging! 

Cool Hotels in San Francisco? Meet the Lodge at the Presidio.

Once the location of the historic Montgomery Street Barracks, the Lodge at the Presidio has been renovated into a comfortable and contemporary basecamp that’s ideal for adventurers looking to maximize their time in the park. The Lodge offers a perfect starting point for exploring San Francisco both within the Presidio and beyond. 

In addition to the hotel’s titular 42-room lodge — some of which provide views of either the surrounding forest, the Bay, the City, or the majestic Golden Gate Bridge — the Lodge also hosts daily complimentary breakfasts and evening wine and cheese receptions from 5-7 p.m. Outdoor rocking chairs and a seated fire pit area are available for guest use as well.  

Have a beloved pooch along for your adventure? The Lodge welcomes canine companions for a $40 pet fee. Guests can also look forward to personal in-room amenities like in-room Nespresso machine, a Samsung smart television, a work desk complete with charging station, and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Sustainability

As boutique hotels in a national park setting, Presidio Lodging believes no stone should go unturned (or, in many cases, practically utilized) as part of Presidio Lodging’s green initiative to live in harmony with nature and to protect the environment and other living beings that inhabit the earth.  

Both hotels are LEED Gold  certified and members of California Green Lodging, signifying the highest standards of sustainability. Guests will notice these efforts in ways both large and small, from the hotels’ low-power electrical systems and water-conserving appliances to their use of non-toxic and low-emitting materials for paints, flooring, adhesives, fabrics, carpets, and composite wood materials.

Following the completion of the hotels’ restorations, the second stage of conservation efforts includes an ongoing promise to set the bar for day-to-day green operations for housekeeping, cleaning, and waste management, plus an ongoing commitment to sourcing and purchasing materials locally whenever possible.
