The Perfect Home Base for Our Tiburon Wedding Weekend! The Water's Edge Hotel was the absolute perfect place to stay and host our guests for our recent wedding. The hotel itself is super luxurious, phenomenal, and incredibly clean. The staff went above and beyond to be helpful at every turn, making us and our guests feel so welcome. One of our absolute favorite features was the back patio overlooking the water. It was the perfect spot to hang out with our guests who were also staying at the hotel, sitting around the fire pits and chatting. Another massive highlight was the complimentary breakfast in bed! The menu was super impressive, and we loved the perk of getting to choose exactly what we wanted the night before. Because our wedding was right here in Tiburon, the hotel’s central location was incredibly convenient. We loved everything about Water's Edge—the amenities, the location, and the amazing staff. We highly recommend it!
