Airport Commuter Black SUV chauffeur for the luxury inn built directly over San Francisco Bay — all 33 rooms perched over the water with private teak decks, fireplaces, and sweeping views of the SF skyline, Alcatraz, and Angel Island, steps from the Sausalito ferry, deepening AC's Sausalito sub-region.
The Inn Above Tide at 30 El Portal is the luxury inn built directly over San Francisco Bay in downtown Sausalito — one of the very few hotels in the Bay Area that stands over the water. All 33 guest rooms and suites face the bay and are perched directly above the tide, with sweeping views of the San Francisco skyline, Alcatraz, Angel Island, and Marin. Most rooms have a private teak-furnished deck and a fireplace, and most suites add a large soaking tub and a gas or wood-burning fireplace. Renovated in 2018, the inn is consistently ranked among the world's best and most romantic waterfront hotels, steps from the Sausalito ferry, galleries, and restaurants. It deepens AC's Sausalito sub-region alongside Cavallo Point Lodge at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Hotel Casa Madrona on the hillside above.

The Inn Above Tide is the luxury inn built directly over San Francisco Bay in downtown Sausalito - one of the very few hotels in the Bay Area that stands over the water. All 33 guest rooms and suites face the bay and are perched directly above the water, with sweeping views of the San Francisco skyline, Alcatraz, Angel Island, and Marin. Most rooms have private teak-furnished decks and fireplaces, and most suites add large soaking tubs and gas or wood-burning fireplaces. Renovated in 2018, it is consistently ranked among the world's best and most romantic waterfront hotels. The Inn Above Tide deepens AC's Sausalito sub-region alongside Cavallo Point Lodge and the Hotel Casa Madrona, and AC chauffeurs guests from the airport over the Golden Gate Bridge to the inn with a Black SUV waiting.
Every one of the 33 rooms and suites at The Inn Above Tide is over the water and faces San Francisco Bay - there are no parking-lot or street-side rooms. Most have a private teak-furnished deck cantilevered above the tide and a fireplace, and from the deck guests watch the light, the sailboats, the ferries, and the sea life against the San Francisco skyline. Suites add large soaking tubs and gas or wood-burning fireplaces. The setting is the draw: the inn is steps from the Sausalito ferry landing and the village's galleries and restaurants, yet it feels suspended over the bay. It is one of the most sought-after romantic stays in Northern California, and a quiet Black SUV transfer over the Golden Gate Bridge sets the tone at each end.
The Inn Above Tide is in the heart of downtown Sausalito, steps from the ferry to San Francisco, Bridgeway's galleries and restaurants, and the waterfront. AC's other Sausalito anchors are minutes away: Cavallo Point Lodge in the former Fort Baker at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Hotel Casa Madrona on the hillside above downtown. Beyond Sausalito are the Marin Headlands and their Golden Gate views, Muir Woods and the redwoods, Mount Tamalpais, Tiburon and Angel Island by ferry, and the Marin coast - Muir Beach (AC's Pelican Inn) and Point Reyes (AC's Manka's Inverness). San Francisco itself is just across the bridge or a ferry ride away. AC builds a Sausalito, Marin, and San Francisco chauffeur retainer.
SFO San Francisco International Airport is about 40 to 45 minutes south over the Golden Gate Bridge and through the city, and is the primary arrival. OAK Oakland is about 40 minutes, STS Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County in Santa Rosa is about 50 minutes north, and SJC San Jose is about 1 hour 15 minutes. Sausalito is in AC's home Bay Area, so AC offers seamless local arrivals, departures, and on-call chauffeur service, plus the option of pairing the inn with a San Francisco city stay or a Wine Country day trip to Napa and Sonoma to the north. AC positions vehicles at SFO, OAK, and STS for Sausalito and Marin.
