Just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Mediterranean-like enclave of Sausalito is the perfect escape to recharge your body and soul after a challenging year. Whether you are seeking a romantic getaway, planning a small family reunion, or looking for a posh spot for a corporate gathering, the waterfront guestrooms and suites at Inn Above Tide are a captivating place to stay. 

Situated over the water on the shore of Sausalito, every room at The Inn Above Tide offers sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay and adjacent historic harbor. Early morning is breathtaking here. Sausalito’s eastward orientation coaxes even the deepest sleepers to rise with a sun that shimmers at daybreak and take in the rich landscape. Guestrooms come equipped with all the coastal retreat essentials: a fireplace, a soaking tub, plush bedding, binoculars, and curated honor bar. Each day begins with delicious in-room breakfast service followed by sunset wine and cheese in the evening. New spacious ocean-view suites are beautifully appointed with private entrances, seaside patios, and unparalleled views.

Let the concierge arrange a seamless visit to Muir Woods where old-growth redwoods tower above picturesque trails or a spectacular hiking trip to Point Reyes National Seashore. A favorite among locals, PoggioTrattoria is a good spot for Northern Italian food and craft cocktails. Creative Mexican dishes, such as fried polenta-crusted oyster tacos, line the menu at celebrity chef Joanne Weir’s Copita Tequileria y Comida. But a trip to Sausalito is not complete without a snagging reservation at one of Marin County’s most popular haunts, Sushi Ran, where diners are treated to chef Yoshi Tome’s unbelievably fresh fish in surprising creations—ask the Inn about its “Yoshi Tome Sausalito” package. 30 El Portal, Sausalito, California, innabovetide.com.
