Hyatt hotel in the heart of Fisherman's Wharf, with a heated outdoor pool near Pier 39.
The Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf is a mid-range Hyatt hotel at 555 North Point Street, in the heart of Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, California. The location is close to Pier 39, the sea lions, Ghirardelli Square, the Hyde Street cable car terminus and the departure piers for Alcatraz Cruises and bay tours. The F-line historic streetcars along the Embarcadero and the Powell-Hyde and Powell-Mason cable cars provide transit connections toward Union Square and downtown, while Fort Mason and the Marina are a pleasant walk west.
The hotel is aimed squarely at leisure visitors and families who want to be beside the waterfront attractions. Its main distinguishing amenity is a heated outdoor pool, which is uncommon among San Francisco hotels given the cool climate, and it makes the property popular with families. The mood is relaxed and tourist-oriented, in keeping with the busy wharf setting.
Room types include King rooms, rooms with Two Queens and suites, with rates generally between about $200 and $450 per night. Free Wi-Fi is among the listed amenities. Rooms with Two Queens suit families and small groups, and some upper-floor rooms may have views over the wharf or the bay.
On-site dining includes a restaurant and a bar, and the surrounding area is known for seafood, clam chowder in sourdough bread bowls, Dungeness crab in season and Italian cafes toward North Beach. A fitness centre is also available for guests. The hotel does not advertise a spa.
Service is geared toward holidaymakers, with staff accustomed to advising on Alcatraz tickets, ferry schedules and family activities. With a user rating of about 4.1, the property is well regarded for its location and amenities. Fisherman's Wharf is crowded in summer and on weekends, so visitors seeking quieter mornings should plan early starts at attractions. Alcatraz tickets sell out well in advance, so they should be reserved before arrival.
