Right across the Golden Gate Bridge is a lovely historic property called Cavallo Point. Gorgeous views from the wraparound deck; a perfect place to watch the sunset and have a glass of wine and an appetizer. Nice restaurant. 10 minutes from Sausalito, 20 minutes from downtown San Fran, great hiking/biking and another 30 minutes to Stinson Beach along a scary but panoramic two lane highway.
The property is so new that landscaping is at a minimum; but I loved the modern houses created behind the historic buildings. Modern art, fireplaces, large terraces, views to die for, especially from the 51 block of rooms. Not for the Four Seasons/Ritz hot and cold running butler crowd. There is a fire pit area in the rear which is nice on the frequent foggy nights.
Dogs are allowed (well behaved ones ONLY) in the historic rooms in the main house, not in the more modern stand alone suites on the hill. Go for a cheap American beer at the dive bar on the wharf across from the hotel.
