Expert Review

Part national park lodge, part high-end resort, Cavallo Point, the Lodge at Golden Gate, sits on the Sausalito side of the bridge. Watch the fog roll in from one of 68 rooms in the historic quarters, or opt for cushier digs in one of the 74 contemporary rooms, perched on a hill overlooking Fort Baker. Accommodations at the LEED Gold Certified eco-resort include single rooms, two-bedroom units, and family-friendly suites, and all come outfitted with Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. Still, the focus is certainly on the surroundings: Take in panoramic vistas of the San Francisco Bay from many of the historic quarters, and catch glimpses of the Golden Gate Bridge from several of the contemporary rooms.
