A historic haven on the hillside.

What it's like

Just beyond the Golden Gate Bridge, in the heart of downtown Sausalito, Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa has long been a haven for actors and rock stars seeking California calm. Now a refined boutique hotel, its interiors draw inspiration from the seascape just outside. In fact, stepping into Casa Madrona feels a little like boarding one of the luxury yachts moored in the harbor below. It is here on the Sausalito hillside that time seems to move at its own pace, where mornings begin with fog rolling across the bay, parting to reveal San Francisco's skyline like a daily magic show, and every terrace, balcony, and window offers a fresh glimpse of maritime life—from bobbing sailboats to playful seals and the quiet bustle of the harbor.

Your private perch above paradise.
