PB hotel design editorial

At the northern foot of the Golden Gate Bridge, where the Marin Headlands slope down to meet San Francisco Bay, a cluster of white-painted Craftsman-era buildings dating to the early twentieth century once served as the officer quarters of Fort Baker. That military past gives Cavallo Point Lodge its structural spine — 28 of the property's 142 rooms are fitted into these original Colonial Revival houses, their warm ochre interiors, radiator grilles, double-hung sash windows, and sloped attic ceilings preserved more or less as found, furnished with dark-stained platform beds, leather club chairs, and framed black-and-white photography that keeps the atmosphere closer to a well-appointed historic home than a resort. The contemporary lodges, designed by the San Francisco firm CCS Architecture and completed when the property opened in 2008, take a different approach entirely. Cedar-clad ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glazing on bronze-toned aluminum frames, and tawny leather seating grouped around gas fireplaces give these rooms a Pacific Northwest warmth that connects them to the eucalyptus groves and grassland outside without mimicking the historic buildings. The spa and lodge building, visible in the images with its double-height glass facade and teak pergola, anchors a terraced garden with a fire pit surround and a pool stepped into the hillside. Inside the historic mess hall, now a bar and restaurant, an original pressed-tin ceiling and cast-iron columns survive intact, the space layered with blue velvet banquette seating, plaid armchairs, globe pendant lights on brass fittings, and a veined marble bar counter.

"We stayed here for a girls' staycation. The property is beautiful — great views, lovely event spaces, great location. I'd recommend it for a couple's getaway, solo trip, or event venue. Nice touches: Dyson hair dryers, plenty of towels, and good on-property food. I'd hesitate to recommend it for a group trip, though. We chose this hotel specifically for the spa pool, hot tub, sauna, and lounge — I even called ahead before booking to confirm hotel guests had spa access, and was told yes, during spa hours (which are great: open until 9pm weekends, from 8am, vs. the usual 10-6). We planned our whole itinerary around that. On arrival, we learned the spa is separately owned, and 2-hour passes must be booked in advance — even for hotel guests. One day, passes were completely sold out. Frustrating, since it was our main reason for booking, and the 2-hour cap felt restrictive and limiting flexibility with our itenerary. The front desk was calm, professional, and upfront about the miscommunication, and offered a room upgrade as a goodwill gesture (much appreciated — the room was lovely). Still, we'd have preferred accurate info up front so we could've picked a hotel that actually fit our group's plans. Similar issue with the e-bikes: advertised as an amenity, but with 142 rooms/suites there are only four bikes, first-come-first-served. We never got our ride in. A few smaller notes: the historic rooms do have that old, musty smell other reviews mentioned. Welcome drink is only 4-6pm - I tend to like the welcome drink offered even if you arrive say at 3pm or 7pm. Minibar snacks (trail mix, popcorn) felt small and generic, not local or special. In-room notes were printed, not handwritten — felt impersonal. No text-the-front-desk option, and no blackout shades. Overall: beautiful property with lovely details, but the spa miscommunication and limited bikes made it a tough fit for our group. We booked both historic and contemporary rooms - my vote is for the contemporary in terms of design and overall comfort. Great for a couple or solo stay — just confirm pool access 2-hour appointment in writing prior if that's a priority"

"From the moment we arrived we felt the warmth of the property. This was such an historic property. The grounds were well maintained. We stayed in a contemporary room with a Golden Gate View. It was beautiful. My daughter and her boyfriend stayed in a historic room. We all enjoyed a wonderful 4th of July weekend. We did use the Lexus car service and that was great. Shuttle service to Sausalito was another nice touch. We will be coming back to this property in the near future."

The friendly staff is exceptional, ensuring a wonderful experience. Everything about this place is amazing, making it a must-visit. Watercolor class made this stay even more exceptional!"

"The entire experience was exceptional. We were clearly on the younger end of the guest list, but we had a fabulous stay. It's always a bit concerning when we as a young 30's couple of color visit a buisness frequented mostly by older white people."
