Inn at the Presidio

Location: San Francisco, CA | Client: The Presidio Trust

History, art, sustainability and comfort meet in The Inn at the Presidio, the first hotel on the San Francisco Presidio. Housed in Pershing Hall, the handsome 1903 Army Bachelor Officers’ Quarters, are 22 elegant bed-and-breakfast style accommodations. ARG designed a complete rehabilitation of the building, both the unseen structural and systems improvements and the restored architectural features. Less than a year after opening, the runaway success of the Inn led to conversion, by ARG, of the neighboring 1889 Commanding Officer’s family quarters, now called The Funston House, into additional guest rooms.
