Sausalito.
Sausalito sits across the Golden Gate from San Francisco — and most travelers skip its boutique-hotel scene by accident. Casa Madrona (a 1885 hilltop Victorian + cliffside expansion), the Inn Above Tide (over-water rooms), Cavallo Point Lodge (Fort Baker repurposed). All independent, all walkable to the ferry into the city.
