Cavallo Point (San Francisco Chronicle – May 9, 2010):

Cavallo Point is an extremely charming hotel right under/next to the Golden Gate Bridge (near Sausalito). The Colonial Revival two-story buildings surround a lovely park.

This is not for everyone, but if you enjoy the outdoors and getting a bit of exercise folded into your travels, it can hit the spot.

Hiking in the Alps can easily be mixed and matched with other interests:
