The Inn Above Tide
Sausalito, California, United States · Independent · Accessible Luxury
William "Bill" McDevitt first built apartments directly over San Francisco Bay, then, in his seventh decade, spent two years turning them into the Inn Above Tide. The hotel opened in 1995, and all 33 rooms now face the water, taking in San Francisco's skyline, Alcatraz, Angel Island, ferries, and passing sea life. Step outside and the Sausalito ferry landing is almost at the door.

- Rooms from 280 sq ft (26 m²)
About The Inn Above Tide
- McDevitt bought a waterfront garage and storage facility in the 1960s and replaced it with the apartment complex that eventually became the hotel.
- The founder's children, Kass, Mike, and Willie, carried on the family property, while opening general manager Mark Flaherty remained at the helm decades later.
- A nightly wine-and-cheese reception looks across the water toward the Sausalito ferry, continuing a ritual documented at the inn for years.
- Entry-level rooms start at 280 sq ft (26 m²).
History
