Cavallo Point Lodge is San Francisco’s national park lodge, set within Golden Gate National Parks at the foot of the famed Golden Gate Bridge. Once the site of the Fort Baker military base, today meticulously restored turn-of-the-century officers’ quarters and sensitively designed new buildings respect the site’s stalwart history and majestic natural setting.
Opened in the summer of 2008, Cavallo Point Lodge is an enchanting and environmentally sustainable “base camp” where the city’s urban edge meets the rugged Marin coast. Since opening, it has earned much recognition, including LEED Gold certification and being named No. 59 among the World’s Top 100 Hotels; and ranked as No. 5 in the U.S. by Travel + Leisure magazine who also previously named the hotel as one of America’s top new national landmarks. The lodge’s upscale amenities, wellness offerings, and sustainable ethos draw couples, families, weddings and groups. Cavallo Point Lodge offers two room categories, crafted with distinctive features; as well as being a century apart in character and style.
Built between 1901 and 1915, Cavallo Point Lodge’s 68 historic rooms and suites once served as officers’ quarters for army personnel. The restored landmark brick buildings feature expansive foyers and staircases, authentic tin ceilings, fireplaces, panoramic windows, and spacious front porches, many with breathtaking views of San Francisco Bay. The 74 newly constructed contemporary rooms and suites, set on a hillside, offer spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge through floor-to-ceiling windows. Cavallo Point Lodge’s new rooms feature sustainable design and construction with solar power, radiant heat floors, renewable materials, organic bedding and linens, and natural amenities appropriate to the lodge’s national park setting.
All accommodations provide modern conveniences, including flat-panel televisions, concierge services and Wi-Fi. Being pet-friendly, the lodge offers an Eco Luxe Pups program to provide everything dog lovers need for their pets with the comforts of home in mind, including luxurious bedding, custom food & water bowls, doggie dryer (super absorbent pet towel), and organic cookies and treats. All products are environmentally friendly, organic and sustainable, made by local businesses in Marin County and the San Francisco Bay area.
