Fisherman's Wharf's top hotel was built as a cannery in 1908 and has century-old wooden beams and exposed-brick walls. Rooms sport an over-the-top nautical theme, with porthole-shaped mirrors and plush, deep-blue carpets. Though all rooms have the amenities of an upper-end hotel – ultracomfy beds, iPod docks – some are tiny with limited sunlight. Parking starts at $65.
Pay extra for a mesmerizing bay view. Kids meet other kids in the big lobby.
