San Francisco: Cavallo Point opening soon

The unveiling of the Bay Area’s first urban national park lodge is just around the corner. Scheduled to open on June 1, 2008, the luxury Cavallo Point, the Lodge at the Golden Gate, is sure to bring serious style to its home base of Ft. Baker, a former military post in Golden Gate National Park.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony, with government and National Park Service officials, will take place on Saturday, June 14, but rooms are available starting June 1. The hotel will offer 68 historic rooms and 74 modern rooms, and rates range from the mid-$200s (pre-tax) per night.
