Sausalito’s visual charm comes in part from the historic wharf areas and the quaint feeling of the restored and well maintained older buildings and streets. Visiting Sausalito can be a welcome break from the hectic pace of the rest of the Bay Area because of this old world charm and styling and visitors often take walking tours or strolls specifically to see the historic landmarks and places.
One of the older port cities in the San Francisco, Sausalito has a rich history as shipbuilding and fishing port and many of the buildings reflect this history today. The historic feel and look draws in and enchants visitors to the area, and the bed and breakfasts and older restored hotels are prime ground for those looking to immerse themselves in this quiet seaside city’s pace of life.
Cavallo Point – The Lodge at Golden Gate
Cavallo Point Lodge is one of the most famous restored inns in the entire San Francisco Bay Area. The collection of buildings located just under the Golden Gate Bridge in Sausalito is the epitome of luxury in a historic setting. The tall white sided and red roofed buildings at first resemble barracks from the area’s military days until one notices the immaculately kept and landscaped grounds and the luxury that awaits inside its doors.
Set inside the boundaries of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Cavallo Point is a destination that is much sought after by guests to the area and reservations are often required well in advance. Known for understated luxury and the complete set of amenities that you might find at a larger more modern hotel, Cavallo point also proudly displays a stunning private photography collection and a full restaurant and spa. The best of both worlds, guests here get the feel and look of staying in a beautifully restored historic site while enjoying everything they would expect from a world class resort.
