A curated selection of Sonoma County hotels and rental properties worth booking

Clementine is a bright, garden-wrapped retreat in east Santa Rosa near Spring Lake and Trione-Annadel, its six bedrooms sleeping ten under high, sunny ceilings.

Fable Sonoma is a purpose-built retreat center on nearly ten secluded acres outside Santa Rosa, its five bedrooms sleeping ten in a 1970s home reimagined by architect Jacob Lehrer. A heated pool, hot tub, cedar sauna, private trails, and a ceremony tent make it a base for offsites, wellness retreats, and workshops. No pets; some amenities require a short hike.






Flamingo Resort & Spa is the historic mid-century landmark of Santa Rosa — a 170-room resort built in 1957 and wrapped around its iconic S-shaped pool on 10 lush acres. Now part of Hilton's Tapestry Collection and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it pairs period design with the Lazeaway Club restaurant, a full spa, and an expansive fitness center.






Gable is a 3.5-acre hilltop retreat in the hills of Santa Rosa, its five bedrooms sleeping ten with sweeping views over vine-covered slopes.

Hotel E is the restored 1906 Empire Building on Santa Rosa's Old Courthouse Square — a Beaux-Arts landmark transformed in 2017 into the city's leading boutique hotel. Thirty-nine guest rooms, the on-site Enology Lounge wine bar, and an unmatched downtown Santa Rosa location make it the highest guest-rated hotel in the city.






Malvasia is a light-filled, architecturally striking retreat within twenty minutes of Sonoma Valley's wineries, its five bedrooms sleeping twelve.

The Astro is a restored 1963 mid-century motor lodge in Santa Rosa's SOFA arts district — design-forward, locally rooted, and the editorial counterpoint to the city's chain inventory.

Vinarosa Resort & Spa is the reimagined 78-room luxury resort on a 92-acre working vineyard estate in Santa Rosa — formerly Vintners Resort, completed a $15M Ensemble Hospitality rebrand in July 2025.
