The Inn Above Tide

Perched at the water’s edge in Sausalito, The Inn Above Tide feels effortlessly woven into the rhythm of San Francisco Bay—where ferries glide past, light dances on the water, and the skyline unfolds just across the horizon. Each room is designed to blur the line between indoors and out, with most opening onto private decks that hover above the bay, inviting slow mornings with coffee and golden-hour views of Alcatraz and the city beyond. Thoughtful touches—from a generous breakfast to the nightly wine and cheese ritual—create a sense of ease, while the intimate scale and attentive service make every stay feel personal. Step outside and Sausalito’s galleries, cafés, and waterfront paths await; step back in and the pace softens. It’s a place to linger, to reconnect with the landscape, and to experience the Bay at its most immediate and serene.
