Golden Gate Hotel · est. 1913 Book
The Golden Gate Hotel on Bush Street, San Francisco

San Francisco · since 1913

A bed-and-breakfast
in the heart of the city

23 rooms of antiques, wicker and claw-foot tubs, a block from the Powell Street cable car and up the hill from Union Square. Breakfast is included.

The hotel

Small, old, and glad to see you

The Golden Gate Hotel has been on Bush Street since 1913. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and it still has the original claw-foot tubs and antique pillbox commodes in many of its bathrooms.

Rooms are dressed with antiques, decorative artwork and wicker. Some have their own bathroom; others are European in the older sense — a wash-stand in the room and a full bathroom down the hall. Both are on this site, clearly labelled, because it is the one thing you should not have to guess about.
