What a wonderful quiet escape with phenomenal views, outstanding service (kudos to Andrew - beverage manager, for making my birthday extra special!). The restaurant "Murray circle" has a menu and wine list that is top notch. Our meal was perfectly prepared and delicious. You can enjoy a meal here without staying at the resort. The spa is also fantastic and well worth a visit. Especially after a hike (plenty of excellent and challenging hikes right out the door). Another highlight was a staff member fed a little coyote that came the field which we were able to watch! Can't wait to go back!! read more

I had the liberty of setting up a Leadership Offsite for my management team recently. After so many great reviews on this place from the Admins in my company, I decided to give them a try. Let's just say, I surely wasn't disappointed. This review is for the meeting room/space and food only. I wish I would have had the opportunity to stay in the room but maybe next time :) This place is tucked away in the hidden jewel of California known as Sausalito. This place is gorgeous. At first I thought it was going to have a touristy feel but I was surely wrong. It was everything but that. It's super quaint and had this home feel to it. We stayed in a meeting room called La Mariposa Borracha. If anyone is latin you know that means The Drunk Butterfly. It was great!!!! Had this cozy boardroom setup. There was plenty of space and tons of windows. The food was also great! They had some french toast and syrup that was to die for. For lunch we had a sandwich buffet which is my total favorite. They also had some chips that seemed to be homemade and OMG...with just the right amount of salt, we were all wishing we could have taken them home. This is definitely a place I want to revisit for a personal outing :) read more

When I first discovered Cavallo Point's website, I fell in love with the pictures immediately! Although less than half hour away from our home in busy San Francisco, it felt like like we were in a far away vacation destination. Located at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco skyline view is picturesque - amazing! The historic lodging is charming and the nature serene. We are reminded how much we love and appreciate San Francisco's beauty. We first came here Dec 2010, and it was decorated with Christmas/Holday decor and lights. Very romantic. We were celebrating our 1 yr Anniversary, so they upgraded our room to a suite at no extra charge. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and welcoming. Included in our rate was credit to their Michelin restaurant, Murray Circle. Before dinner, we hung out a little at Farley Bar. We were luckily seated in front of the cozy and relaxing fireplace. Nice selection of cocktails, wine, and small-bites. Then we went to the elegant yet understated Murray Circle. The entire menu was so tempting - we each ordered 3 courses - everything we devoured was refined and delicious! The following morning, we were so pleasantly fulfilled :-), before we left, we decided to sit at Farley Bar's patio for a light snack and take in the view once again. We agreed Cavallo Point, with it's beauty and great service, would continue to be our Anniversary spot for years to come. Six months later, June 2011, we wanted to celebrate our 1.5 yr Anniversary without goin too far from home, and again, we wanted to enjoy Cavallo Point. This 2nd time, we wanted to experience the Healing Arts Center & Spa, a delightful place for the body, mind, and spirit. A day pass for the jacuzzi, steam room, outdoor meditation pool, and the Center is $65 each, but a 1 hour treatment as low as $120 (weekday discount) includes this day pass until 8pm. I had an Organic Massage (traditional, therapeutic, swedish) from Karen - she was great. This is a place you can really meditate and renew yourself all day. Before our treatment, we enjoyed the steam room, jacuzzi, and outdoor heated pool to warm our muscles. Then after my heavenly massage, we went outdoors again. Amongst the trees and birds, we had a light snack (salmon sandwich, arugula salad, goji colada). Enjoyed the heated pool again, the outdoor fireplace, the indoor fireplace, the jacuzzi and steam room until I felt all sweated out. The locker room and showers are spacious and clean and the service here is friendly. I LOVE it here! Although I would love to keep Cavallo Point as my little secret, I have to give them praise for their service, their charm, all of our wonderful experiences. This place makes us happy, and I wish happiness for everyone. Consider this place for your celebration, or getaway - definitely a treat for all your senses! read more

This place is absolutely beautiful. Looks very similar to the Presidio, but the inside of the buildings are not even comparable. We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite for a week and loved every minute of it! The rooms have a warm elegant feel to them. I love that the bathroom has both a shower and a tub! From the moment we checked in we felt very well take care of, from having a bell man bring an extra key to us to having the restaurant cater to having a toddler dine with us, the service was great. If you are into being outdoors you will love staying here! Also nice that they are dog friendly, we had a Blue Dane with us and had absolutely no issues during our stay. I really enjoyed having a wonderful view of the Bridge (even though I see it on a daily basis already haha). I can't say enough good things about this place! read more

CAVALLO POINT SAVED OUR WEDDING DAY!!! Another nearby hotel gave up our reservations for the nite before and day of our wedding without notifying us. We were looking for a room at 11:30 on a Friday nite. Every other hotel was booked. Finally called CP, spoke to Lee (receptionist) and she told us there was a room available. Told her about our situation and she was extremely helpful and understanding. She even gave us a discount as a wedding present and for all the trouble we went through. She made sure that we were able to stay or at the very least transfer to another room thru our wedding day. Hotel room was beautiful, immaculately clean and well maintained. Quiet area, staff was extremely courteous and helpful. ECO FRIENDLY, wifi was unpredictable at times though. read more

We've been staying here for 10 years for a staycation prior to the start of the school year. Never been disappointed. A really relaxing place, close to Sausalito, some hiking, some history with the old gun emplacements. Plus some giant bridge that I can't remember the name of. The past 3 years or so, we've been greeted by Deborah(maybe Debra?) at the front desk. She is great, very friendly, helpful and has a great memory. Since it is a staycation, and we don't have to worry about plane tickets, we sort of justify staying at such a nice place. read more

This place is truly a magical place!! Pros: the smell of lavender on your pillow and the warm fireplace while looking out to the Golden Gate Bridge is beautiful! It's perfect. Great rates and very clean. The staff is sooo nice and accommodating! Cons: none! Tips: check out Murray circle for brunch, and the mercantile for great candles!! read more

Thanks to Daily Candy, I booked a reservation today for the weekend of July 4th for my parents who will be visiting from Palm Springs, I also scored a room for my boyfriend and I who will be joining them on Friday to celebrate the 4th, even though we live just across the bridge in Pac Heights, we are staying at the resort so we can enjoy some cocktails and fireworks! Today I'm giving 5 stars for Janelle Dent who was my reservation agent!! From the moment I was transferred to her she was amazing! She went above and beyond all of my expectations - and trust me they were high, these are the same people that own the Post Ranch Inn. Janelle sent me pictures of the different rooms available, not currently posted on the web site and if that wasn't enough she even went out to check on some specific rooms so she could give me her advice on which one had the best view and lay out. She gave me a call back with her recommendations and booked me in the room that she thought would be the best based on what I told her I was looking for. Seriously who does that!!! I chose the traditional King deluxe room with the city views. We are looking forward to the weekend and spending the 4th on the lawn and watching the fire works!! After our stay I will check back and give you the low down, if my stay is anything like the service and attention I received from Janelle I'm sure it will be amazing! The rates are very reasonable given all the resort features, amenities and views, The property has been completely restored and being run by some of the best in the business, if you have ever been lucky enough to visit their sister resort in Big Sur ( www.postranchinn.com) you know what I'm talking about!! I have a feeling the rates are not going to stay reasonable for long, so I sent an an email to a bunch of out of town friends to join us while the rates are still very affordable!! More to come after our stay!! read more

We decided to stay at Cavallo Point for our vacation to San Francisco, and although it's out of the way, we still really liked it. Everything when we arrived was almost an ethereal green because it had rained for a month before, and we paid extra for a room with a view of the bay, which was lovely. The cleaning service and room service were both spectacular, and we definitely enjoyed the grounds. However, I did have a couple issues with this place, which is why my review is only four stars. For one, it's basically impossible to get a bathtub full of hot water, or even take a hot shower that's more than five minutes long. I understand water conservation and all that, but it's a hotel, and it's NOT a cheap hotel. Let me have my hot bath, for serious. Secondly, their workout room is almost entirely cardio equipment, which isn't great if you're actually trying to lose weight, but I understand that most people are less freakish than me and may not be wanting to maintain their workout routine on vacation. That said, they do offer a lovely free yoga class every morning. :) read more

The historic room lodges are great - beautiful homes, large suites with separate living room with gas fireplace, bedroom, and large airy bathroom, and a lot of space out front for your dog to wander. The place is so pet friendly that they have pet amenities like a welcome package full of treats, a rawhide, mini frisbie, and poo bags, and giant dog beds complete with large bowls for water and food. They also have a walking service. I wish I had known about this last one because then I would have actually brought my dog =( You can park near your housing, or have them park it for you but it's $20/overnight if you have them do it. Beautiful views. read more

So another of the great benefits to being a photographer is that you get to check out places you may not have otherwise done and Cavallo Point was a fantastic find. I can't believe I never knew about the place but I was covering a conference we were a sponsor of and ran into people I knew who were staying there too so some of this in their input as well. Rooms and the location are just perfect - sort of secluded but also very close to Sausalito town and the arches of the GG bridge are omnipresent from Fort Point where the Lodge is located. I heard that the spa treatments are awesome too and think they have a separate listing for them here on Yelp. The staff are also really nice - super helpful and such. I'm only leaving off a star right now since I haven't stayed myself so can't vouch a full five star but once I stay there myself over night I will update this listing - FWIW everyone who i know who did stay loved it. The culinary school is also pretty cool - not sure if it's got a separate listing but check that out too... read more

Beautiful, relaxing place for a quiet weekend. My girlfriend spoiled me with a night here and it was exactly what we were hoping for. We stayed in one of the historic rooms which was very comfortable, clean, and hospitable. The staff was friendly and very accommodating, they even made us reservations in nearby downtown Sausalito because the on-campus restaurant, Murray Circle, was booked for the night. The other guests we noticed tended to be of the older yuppier type, but no matter, the open space leaves you to your own devices without having to deal much with anyone. The Healing Arts Center was wonderful. Maybe its because there wasn't much of anyone around, or maybe because we were there while the sun broke through and made it an even more pleasant experience. The staff was very nice, they brought out cucumber and lemon flavored water as we basqued in the sun near the warming pool. Not one tried to over-sale us on any treatments and were informative when we wanted to know more about the facilities and services. I would go to sausalito for the day to just hang out here. I'm not much of a spa go-er and not very comfortable in this kind of setting, but the atmosphere and staff made me feel welcome. read more

One line review: When can I go back??? THE Perfect escape for a relaxing getaway. They've got rooms of all sizes, in either "historic" or "contemporary" (modern). We stayed in a historic queen suite, which had a separate living and sleeping room. Had a back view not GG bridge), but the bldg had more charm and a lovely porch. There is something here for couples, girlfriend getaways, family/kids. It's not inexpensive, but they have deals every now and then, incl 50% if you are a local and stay on Sunday night. A perfect getaway 10 minutes from the city, yet you feel like you're much further away. Gorgeous grounds, like summer camp for adults. Our building had had a kick ass porch (sheltered from the wind) w/ rocking chairs where we enjoyed glasses of wine ("room service", delivered from Murray Circle restaurant across the oval quad) while staring at the glistening lights of SF. Dinner and Bfast at Murray Circle resto were delish. We had a tot in tow and the restaurant was accomodating. Lots of stuff for everyone. Lots of trails to go on walks, can walk to Sausolito, to the northern base of the GG bridge. Just a peaceful, relaxing place. Guest have access to a spa w/out door hottub. Great to just RELAX. Was sad to come back to SF. Service was excellent start to finish. From the people who checked us in, to the guy who drove the golf cart to meet us at our "house". Can't wait to return asap!!! read more

This place is seriously a luxury getaway. For our anniversary, my boyfriend took me for a weekend at cavallo point and our Modern King room with golden gate view felt like a private getaway. The view from our room was great and a great plus, but the room itself was amazing. I didn't want to leave. I'd definitely come back but I saw the bill and would have to save up myself if I were to treat my boyfriend here. I heart Cavallo Point. read more

San Francisco never ceases to amaze me with delicious new surprises at every turn. As a native from SF - now living in NY - I cherish my time back home for obvious reasons (aka the family, old haunts, best friends, etc). Cavallo Point can now be added to my reasons. I went for brunch and even though there was a great fog cover over the Golden Gate, our seats on the veranda were amazing. Cozy into a plush couch and be prepared to enjoy a great meal. Shared around our table was: - Sweet Pea Ravioli - Light, fluffy and delicious. Could have come out a bit hotter. - Dungeness Crab BLT - This is the one not to miss. The Crab was mixed up ever so gently with avocado. Avocado is just magical and it was the best way to enjoy the crab within. - Ciabatta French Toast with Apples & Pears - Sweet and the perfect addition to the above. Mimosas were perfect and we even had some tea that was made in a French press. New and amazing way to enjoy it. Another great tip is to head over the spa after lunch for a Fire Wellness Shot. Be ready because it's SUPER intense, but you leave floating on a cloud. There are also hikes and cooking classes available. Highly recommended with someone you like, someone you love, a whole group of people or anyone really! read more

Let me say the property is great, restaurant bar is also very nice. Unfortunately, it is 3am and I have been up all night due to hot room(no AC in historical units) and the bloody fog horn going off every 10 seconds all night. Oh my gosh. In defence of the hotel they did put ear plugs in the room on my bed. I came home from dinner and found it curious they were there.now I know..... read more

We did not stay at the lodge, but rather had a great experience with their wedding coordinator! Jessica Winthrop was the coordinator at a wedding we photographed recently, and she was great! The bride was extremely happy, which means that everyone else was too ;) With staff like Jessica, I'm sure this place is a very friendly place to stay - not to mention have your wedding at. Thanks Jessica and the rest of the staff at Cavallo Point Lodge! read more

We paid a premium price for a 2 bedroom suite in the renovated homes. Loved the tiled ceilings, fire place, covered porch, Nespresso machine, Bose sound system, local Brie, wine and Pelligrino in the room. The beds were a little too soft for my taste and my kids didn't like the pullout bed (but I've never slept on a nice pullout bed). I like a cold room to sleep in, so I kept a window open, but wish they had some screens on the windows. We walked down and had some great views of the Golden Gate. My family enjoyed the varied terrain and views while running. We had a private cooking party for our family of 12 on Saturday night (about $250/per person) with a chef and 4 prep chefs. It was fun, tasty, and even though I am a good home chef, I learned a few things. Nice free pastries and coffee in the reception alcove. Wish I had more time to try the other amenities. Wish we had taken advantage of the Lexus SUVs that guests can use for free, but we didn't find out about them until 2 hours before we were checking out. read more

My wife and I just love it here. The service, location, amenities-everything-is top notch. We have overnighted here numerous times, and though we live only 45 minutes away, feel as if we have traveled to a European destination. One of my favorite places here is the art gallery, behind the Mercantile store. It is a hidden gem with local artists photography, painting and the like. Well worth a visit. Highly recommended. read more

I debated sending in a review because our experience was less than perfect for our 45th wedding anniversary, but I will say, that there was enough good that we might go back if we could stay more than one night, could have better weather, and could come when it might be less busy. We booked a 4:00 cooking class but were not able to check in - even after multiple calls and requests until 4:00. The valet and check in people were busy so waved us up the hill and said there was parking nearby. The units are poorly marked (the side of the building number has nothing to do with your room number, so we ended up rushing up and down the hillside, suitcases in tow, with no idea where we were going and knowing we would be late for the class. When we finally made it to our room at 8:00PM, we ended up with a "Bay View" rather than the "Golden Gate" view we were promised, and I was very disappointed, since a great view is a hallmark of our anniversary stays over the 45 years. I called, but by then t was 8:30 at night and too late to make any changes. It turns out the cooking class was quite nice - a guest chef working with Cavallo Point Chef Jayne, whom we liked very much, along with her competent staff. It rained the next morning and we walked to the Discovery Museum where we met our daughter and grandchild and then had to check out by noon. As we drove out, we stopped the car so I could get a look at the spa. I had no idea there was such a lovely spa on campus and was sorry we were not able to take advantage of it. We were able to do the yoga in the morning, and that was very nice. So generally, it was the lack of communication and preparation on the part of the front desk that was the problem. Jeff apologized multiple times about the late check-in and wrong view and indicated we should call him the next time. I responded that frankly he was the one who checked us in and gave us less than good service. I mentioned on check out that I was also surprised that there wasn't a card or something wishing us anniversary wishes. He insisted that "an amenity" was requested, and "oh, so sorry," again. So maybe we hit it at just too busy a time but be sure you have all your communication and plans for the day in order before you check in. read more

With high hopes of having a 5 star hotel and dining experience, I am fully disappointed. Upon arrival there was no offer to take our bags to the room and/or more than a hand wave to the upper parking lot. Arrived in the room and our golden gate view is more like a stand on your tip toes to see the very top part of the golden gate. If sitting down you have the view of the back side of a bush. The room feels old and worn with a scratched up vanity and water damage around the bathroom door. At $1000 a night, I wanted it to feel better kept than a Sheraton. Finally, it is my 50th birthday dinner in the restaurant. Multiple friends drove in to celebrate. I know it is post Covid, but the lack of service was extreme. The wait was incredibly long, the starters came out without plates. We requested plates from 3 different people to finally get 2 plates for a party of 5. An alcoholic beverage was served in place of a non-alcoholic beverage order. It was realized prior to being drank, but could have been a serious issue. My friends had called ahead to make it clear it was a 50th birthday and the restaurant assured us they would do something special. There was no mention of the birthday throughout the meal and nothing was ever brought to the table in recognition, although arranged in advance. Overall, it is not what it used to be. It is a tired, worn down resort that definitely is stretching itself with a claim of luxury. I would not recommend this place for any sort of a special event or get away and definitely not at the price we are paying. Incredibly disappointed that this is my special birthday get away. read more

We have spent few days at the property couple different times. Everything was great from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. Everyone was extremely nice. All staff was super friendly and they they were very prompt and responsive. On our second visit we even decided to stay an extra day and the GM went the extra mile made it happen very easily. We cannot wait to return and have some of the delicious pastry served every morning and enjoy tasty afternoon complimentary wine. read more

OK, let's get past the elephant in the room. The resort can be very expensive and really is a special occasion place to stay. My wife and I had such an occasion and stayed two wonderful nights. We did not use the spa services but took advantage of the late afternoon glasses of wine, breakfast at the restaurant and sitting on the deck of our room. The location is incredible and you can feel the stress melt away sitting on the porch, watching the ships go by on the bay with a nice glass of wine or cup of coffee. A great place to get away! And don't forget that they have Lexus cars that you can borrow at no cost. Just have to check availability in the morning, sign a waiver and off you go. read more

True elegance. Luxury with a heart. It's a given that most places in Sausalito are likely to have great views and some quiet, but Cavallo Point is different. My rooms interior was beautifully remodeled with an elegance that speaks to the age of the building and the modernity of the times. It had everything that I loved about living in an old victorian in the bay area -- the large windows, framed rooms, small radiators in the corners (that worked really well), but it really felt like new. It offered Bonny Doon cosmetics and lush towels, beautiful fixtures, and comfy beds. Radiant light filled the room beautifully. Well worth the price. True luxury. read more

Breathtaking views of the Golden Gate bridge from amazingly appointed, contemporary rooms. I lucked out and even got a direct view of the bridge from my room. They offer cool meeting spaces including a chapel on top of a hill. Be aware, if fog rolls in at night, the fog horns will blow constantly, in which case, pack some ear plugs read more

Amazing location, service and experience staying here. My wife and I spent 3 nights for our anniversary here. Everybody we dealt with here gave us awesome service. One example: Megan went above and beyond to make some last minute changes to our reservations when we discovered our original room didn't have a tv in the bedroom (a must for my wife when we are on vacation) she had us moved to another room quickly and at no additional charge. The history of this place is really great. The old buildings are a lot of fun to look at and experience, as are the grounds. Huge old eucalyptus trees surround the property as well as other trees and nature. The spa was extremely clean, refreshing and peaceful. There is a nice gym as well on the property. Down to the towels and toiletries at this place are top notch. Just a really fun, relaxing place to hang out for a couple days. read more

My boyfriend and I stayed here the night of 9th of October under the "Ultimate Date Package" for our six year anniversary. We reserved the King Contemporary room which featured a gorgeous view of the Bay under the GGB and grounds. The bed was oh so comfy. The bathtub was the right fit for the both of us and all of the amenities were pretty much used in the room. We loved the walks up and down to our room, esepcially after a hour and half Hatha Yoga class on Sunday morning. We had spectular views of the fog over the Bay and a extra bonus panoramic entertainment of the Blue Angels air show. Our service was amazing and I loved how we felt like we were all to ourselves. Definitely would love to come here again, especially to make use of their spa. The package also included a DELICIOUS Chef's Tasting Menu dinner for two at Murray Circle. I wish I could describe all I ate, but I was enjoying my time with my boyfriend more than I was paying attention to what I was eating. In the morning we had breakfast under the (very hot) sun on the porch, again just taking in all the views and all of the couples that were also there on their anniversaries. The only thing to be aware of, most of everything is billed to your room. So this can be tempting to order more than you budget for. Luckily, my boyfriend and I kept it simple. And moreover we enjoyed our time in celebration of our relationship. read more

This little jewel is nestled into a cozy cove on a historic property formerly home to Spanish colonists, the Mexican Army and the US military. The historic rooms are amazing! Very clean and tidy and the windows open to let the fresh Bay breeze come in. Each room has quality art prints and really are quite nice! Ask for a room with a view of San Francisco and watch the fog roll in at night and out in the morning. We read in other reviews about the free breakfast baked goods and coffee. Yes, indeed they are great! Be sure to take the walking tour if it is available you will get a great workout and learn a lot. Also be sure to check out the gallery and bar! they both are exceptional! read more

A group of us ate at the lodge's restaurant last week. The place does have a beautiful view of San Francisco and the GG bridge but a little secluded from all activities.... The food was pretty good but the portions were a bit small. I ordered the crab bisque soup -- I was pleased. My friends seemed pleased with their meals as well. I would stop by to grab a bite again if in the area but honestly don't know if I would ever be in that area again - it's so remote. Warning to travelers that you'll need to drive EVERYWHERE from here. read more

Look at me. I'm so cool eating fancy food eating in a fancy place while looking at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco where I am a local. Not a tourist just to be clear. Really happy with fare. My life on yelp is awesome. read more

Cavallo Point - Look at me. I'm so cool eating fancy food eating in a fancy place while looking at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. - Hotels Near Me - Sausalito, California

Horrible service. My husband and I stayed for one night to get away. Our stay included a free breakfast and $100 credit to use at the restaurant which were both completely useless because we couldn't use either. The restaurant is completely booked for all meals days in advance. You can't figure that out because there's no phone number for guests to use where someone actually picks up the phone. They then assure you takeout is an option but when we used on Saturday morning for breakfast, they gave us a 60 min wait time. Guests assume they will be able to dine at their hotel. If this is no longer the case because of covid, you should be very transparent and prepare guests in advance, including lowering your hotel room rates to account for decreased services. Quick update: we had a really wonderful manager assist us and he went above and beyond. Very appreciative. The review still stands for overall management of the property and strategy but the people working were quite sympathetic and did the best they could to remedy. read more

I stayed at Cavallo Point a while back - over Memorial Day weekend. Just getting to posting now...I don't really post on Yelp. Had a great two night stay at the hotel in one of the historic rooms - amazing facility from the views of the GG Bridge/the SF skyline to the detail & thought put into almost every detail of the buildings. I could live in the historic room I stayed in. This place has amazing potential between the location, buildings, amenities & the staff. Only reason why I'm not giving this a 5 is that there were a few opening hick ups - but that was expected given it was before the official opening. Looking forward to coming back in the future & giving it a 5. read more

The last time we dined on the veranda, I left my iphone and it was stolen. I'm certain a staff member took it since we were the last to leave. My problem isn't with the fact that my iphone was stolen (along with pictures and videos of my children), but how it was handled by the Cavallo Point management. No return phone call the night it happened, no return call from the bar manager, no explanation for how a phone could be gone in 15 minutes, no apology, nothing. I asked to talk to a manager. I got an assistant who listened to my story and ultimately called me back with: "Sorry, I just looked again and it wasn't there". Well, of course it wasn't there. It's a week later! How about, "Stop by and have a glass of wine on us. We're deeply sorry that the photos and video from your entire summer vacation are gone." Anyway, a great place for a drink and delicious albeit crazy expensive food. (We'd been there three times in a month.) But, I can't patronize a place that treats customers so poorly. read more

We were there with the Blue Angel madness, as we were leaving we decided to get a drink instead of getting stuck in parking lot traffic hell. So we traipsed across the large dried out field in front of the hotel. My friends have been beckoning me to go for sometime, so I was surprise to see it, now mind you, it's part of a fort system, & it looks the part. It reminded me of a youth hostel that I stayed at in France decades ago. They have vast balcony seating & a cool gentlemen's quarter bar inside. Golden hue with beautiful wood bar & leather club chairs. We couldn't order a drink to save our life....too busy but an employee said we can sit in a lounge area outside & take our cocktail with us. We decided to bring our own goods to the outside area & partake in impromtu picnic. Seating is limited but there are super friendly tourist that will gladly share their space, kids allowed & dogs(in that area). All the employees I ran into were courteous & apologetic. Again, we did not eat nor get any drinks. read more

Can't say enough. From the attentive staff to the views from our room to the art gallery to the food...this place was a lovely destination for our anniversary weekend. read more

See all

In brief: - Beautiful location with a spectacular view of the bay and Golden Gate. I kind of felt like I was in a secluded fort - a secret, hidden world with good food. - Match the local with their 4 course dinner and you really can't say much except "wow" - Had a catered dinner for a business group and every dish was delicious, from the fro gois to the skirt steak - it all melted in my mouth. In depth: - From the moment we arrived, I knew it was going to be special. The fog was bellowing into the bay, but the GG was still visible from its tips, just over a rolling hill next to the skyline of a far off downtown. Magical doesn't begin to describe it. They hit the location jackpot on this one. Be prepared and bring your camera! - The lodge itself was immaculate, open and felt warm. The bathrooms are on the basement level, which is kind of weird if you're on the second floor. - Four course meal included: foi grois, light salad with lemon balsamic dressing, skirt steak with veggies and pureed potato and mixed berry tart. Loved everything down to the last morsel. The steak was so tender it was practically dripping off my fork. Although I didn't really have a hand in choosing the dishes, it was still remarkable. I would love to see what else they offer. - Overall, I give it a strong 4.5 because I'm refusing to give a 5 unless I'm utterly speechless, at which point you won't probably hear about it cause I won't be able to talk for some time. For now, here's a little preview of what it might look like : 0 read more

You can't beat this place for views! Unless, of course, there's a giant tree blocking your view of the Golden Gate Bridge out your window. Oh well. We stayed in the contemporary room, and they were very nice and comfortable -- no complaints there. There are a lot of fun activities for guests, including cooking classes and hikes, all of which is complementary for people staying at the hotel. Even morning yoga! This seems like a great place to relax, but if you're looking for a quiet experience, you might want to go elsewhere... there are kids EVERYWHERE. It's like summer camp. I don't know what was going on that weekend we were there, but the kids seemed to outnumber the adult guests. If you were hoping to sit by the fire pit with a glass of wine at 5pm, you'll have to fight for space with the toddlers. We took a hike up to the Marin Headlands, and it was beautiful. I'm not sure if I'll be back to the Lodge again, but I'm happy I spent some time away from the city without having to drive for a few hours. read more

Hosted an event here for work. The grounds are beautiful! The "modern" rooms are lovely with cool fireplaces. The conference rooms are nice a bit old to me but they dress them up nice. Best time to come in the year is spring, summer and fall. Winter will probably be too cold especially if you're room is far, you'll have to walk or ask for a cart to take you. The best thing about Cavallo Point is they are pet friendly!!! :)) We're going back for sure! read more

Second time at Cavallo Point, this time just for a day for a meeting. Had to come back and rave about their catered food. Lunch was again excellent! Delicious salads (beet salad with goat cheese, strawberry salad, and farro salad) and loved the curry tofu. Snacks were also excellent, especially the home made chips and guacamole! Thank goodness they gave us to go boxes so we could take some of the guac home -- it's the best I've ever had! We also did a walk around the grounds which was beautiful with great views of the Bay, GG Bridge, and city skyline. Highly recommend! read more

I had gone there when it first opened and it was amazing. Imaginative food, fantastic service, ordered tons of great appetizers, totally imaginative! They've been pretty much dropped. The food, not as good as in the past and our server was totally disinterested. read more
