Hotel History

The Hotel Sausalito has been part of Sausalito since 1915. The hotel boasts a colorful past rivaling that of the Barbary Coast. It once played a role in developing the city's reputation as an artists colony and has served as the setting for a movie.

“This boutique hotel stands out with its prime location overlooking the bay, steps away from Sausalito's attractions; its immaculately clean rooms and comfortable beds are a plus. The sincere hospitality provided by the front desk elevates the experience, while the limited desk service might require some planning. Overall, this is a solid pick for a quiet retreat.”
