The Argonaut Hotel's 252 newly refreshed guestrooms were completed in Spring 2025, featuring exposed brick, rich blue-and-gold accents, and nautical decor. Each room includes a flat-screen TV, minibar, and in-room safe, with filtered water stations on every guest floor. Many rooms offer views of San Francisco Bay or the Golden Gate Bridge.

The Blue Mermaid Chowder House & Bar serves award-winning chowders and fresh seafood in a relaxed, historic setting. Guests receive a $15 daily dining credit per room to use at the restaurant. The menu focuses on locally sourced, sustainable seafood.
