August Opening Set for Fire-Delayed New Hotel
The opening of the 252-room Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman’s Wharf, delayed for more than a year because of a fire at the construction site, is now planned for August.
The hotel is housed in the 96-year-old Haslett Warehouse, which in the early 1900s was the largest fruit and vegetable cannery in the world.
Construction was in an early phase the night of March 16, 2002, when a five-alarm fire damaged the fourth floor and destroyed the roof of the historic warehouse, which had been vacant since the 1980s. Damage was estimated at $5 million.
