Imagine hosting your next corporate retreat, milestone celebration, or leadership gathering in the heart of a national park, with the Golden Gate Bridge as your backdrop. Presidio Lodging now offers the ultimate in exclusivity with full-property buyouts at its boutique hotels, creating one-of-a-kind group experiences that combine privacy, natural beauty, and historic charm.
With capacity for up to 200 guests across the Lodge at the Presidio and the Inn at the Presidio, buyouts allow companies and groups to take over both properties, transforming them into private retreats. Both hotels are LEED Gold–certified, ensuring a stay that is as environmentally responsible as it is memorable.
The Best View in San Francisco
Perched on the edge of the Presidio, the Lodge at the Presidio boasts what many consider the best views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Guests wake up to sweeping vistas of the bridge, the San Francisco Bay, and the forested parklands, setting an inspiring stage for both work and play.
Value Meets Exclusivity
Unlike large resort buyouts that may be out of reach, Presidio Lodging’s intimate scale makes exclusive experiences more financially viable for a wide range of organizations. From leadership off-sites to company-wide retreats, groups benefit from an unmatched blend of value and prestige.

Case Studies in Success
Groups such as Praxis have embraced the buyout model, reserving both properties for multi-day programs that incorporate meetings, curated dinners, and outdoor experiences, fully utilizing the Presidio’s blend of history, nature, and community.
Miller Starr Regalia, a well-established real estate law firm, also hosted a successful corporate retreat for all office staff and their spouses at the Lodge at the Presidio. The weekend buyout retreat was intended to be more of a relaxing getaway and teambuilding, with minimal programming in order to allow the attendees the opportunity to connect with nature and each other.
Lodging Amenities
Both the Lodge at the Presidio and the Inn at the Presidio sport lobbies with cozy fireplaces and outdoor fire pits, which provide gathering spaces all year-around. Both properties offer complementary European-style, continental breakfast each morning and wine and cheese hour in the evening, and nearby restaurants provide dining or catering options.
A Destination That Tells a Story
“There’s simply nothing like hosting a meeting at the Presidio. Where else can you step out of a strategy session and be greeted by sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, trails through a national park, and the history of San Francisco all around you? Our hotels and partner venues create an inspiring backdrop where ideas flow, teams connect, and memories are made. It’s the perfect blend of exclusivity, natural beauty, and city sophistication,” comments Terry Haney, Managing Director of Presidio Lodging.
