Argonaut Hotel
Each Kimpton Hotel has a distinct personality and its own story. The Argonaut’s story is Adventure. The nautical décor, elegant cruise-liner style, compass-inspired light fixtures, port-hole shaped mirrors and “deck” chairs hold a promise of setting sail for adventure. The hotel houses the National Historic Park Museum, the Visitor’s Center for the San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park and an interactive learning exhibit in the Discovery Room. The hotel’s unique relationship with the National Park Service provides videos in the guest rooms, complimentary passes for the historic Hyde Street Pier, in addition to free, one-hour guided walking tours twice a week with Rangers from Aquatic Park. The hotel’s lease agreement generates $1 million in funding a year to Aquatic Park, and they are a proud partner in the restoration of the Historic Ships at Hyde Street Pier for all to explore. Meeting attendees can experience the Degrees of Discovery Signature Meeting that includes maps, vehicle décor, discovery games, world music and themed menus for a unique meeting setting. Each guest is considered an Argonaut, an explorer, and the hotel utilizes its location to fulfill the promise of adventure.
