Cavallo Point is set within the Golden Gate National Parks at the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge near Sausalito. Later this year, Cavallo Point will serve as the launch home for the Institute at the Golden Gate, an environmental program of the nonprofit Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy in partnership with the National Park Service.

A member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, Cavallo Point will be managed by a subsidiary of Passport Resorts. The venue will feature more than 25,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, offering historic and high-tech meeting space and outdoor event staging areas with character and dramatic views that are exceptional even for the San Francisco Bay Area. Included are more than 15,000 square feet of indoor space and 10,000 square feet of outdoor event space for meetings and events of 10 to 250 attendees.

Guests will have their pick of an historic room or suite steeped in cultural legacy, or one laced with thoroughly modern lines and textures. Cavallo Point's two kinds of accommodations are a century apart in character and style. The lodge will offer 68 historic rooms and suites in carefully restored, National Historic Landmark , featuring authentic pressed tin ceilings, fireplaces, oversized foyers and hand-carved stairways, and many have views of the San Francisco skyline and bay. There will be 74 additional rooms and suites in new, contemporary buildings of sustainable design, set on higher ground and most with spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge and beyond. All rooms, historic and contemporary, will feature organic bedding and linens, flat-panel HD televisions, and Wi-Fi connectivity.

"We will create ultimate guest experiences for every interest, and at the end of the day, a great national park lodge."
