Argonaut Hotel Family Activities

The hotel hosts a special kids' program, Kimpton Kids, which includes kid-friendly amenities like child-safety kits, cribs upon request, a kid's welcome gift, child-sized robes and stroller rentals. The program also includes lists of area family activities.

The hotel's main attraction is the San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park. The park's visitor's center and interactive museum (admissions are complimentary for hotel guests) is located in the same building as the hotel. The museum features changing exhibits on maritime history, including a shipwreck display.

Hyde Street Pier, a famous ferry pier in Fisherman's Warf, is adjacent to the hotel. Anchored to the pier are dozens of historic boats, many of them open for tours. Other San Francisco landmarks, including Ghirardelli Square, the Golden Gate Bridge, Union Square and Pier 39, are just a short walk or cable car ride away (the Hyde Street terminal of the San Francisco Cable Car System is steps away from the hotel).

The concierge will make arrangements for local babysitting services upon request, but the hotel offers no on-site childcare programs.
