Waters Edge Hotel: A Bayside Boutique Hotel in Marin County

Most of the posts on our Marin Hotels blog are about the Best Things To Do in Marin. We like to share recommendations directly from our hotel staff, long-time Marin-ites, trusted partners and the like. But every once in a while we like to go deep on one of our boutique hotels in Marin County. Today, let’s talk Waters Edge Hotel, located on the shores of the San Francisco Bay in Tiburon.

Waters Edge Hotel in Tiburon California

Nestled along the picturesque shores of Tiburon in beautiful Marin County, the Water's Edge Hotel exudes an undeniable charm that has made it a favorite among travelers. As the name suggests, the hotel's prime location right on the water's edge provides breathtaking views of the San Francisco Bay and its iconic skyline. Waters Edge Hotel is the perfect location for a Marin Date Night, a Marin staycation, or visitors to Marin or San Francisco.

Some guestrooms offer full views of the Bay, and all guests enjoy the incredible views from the Grand Deck situated at the back of the hotel. Check out all of our Waters Edge hotel guestrooms here..
