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.
A 1957 mid-century landmark on 10 lush acres in Santa Rosa, built around its iconic S-shaped pool — now a Hilton Tapestry Collection resort.
Flamingo Resort & Spa is the great mid-century landmark of Sonoma County — a 170-room resort that opened in 1957 as the centerpiece of developer Hugh Codding's post-war Santa Rosa, designed by architect Homer A. Rissman around a wheel-and-spoke plan of guestroom wings radiating from a central S-shaped pool courtyard. In its early years it drew Hollywood visitors and became the city's social hub; like many properties of its era, it dimmed in later decades before a major restoration — announced in 2019 and completed in 2021 — modernized building systems, guest rooms, and public spaces while preserving the resort's original profile, lighting, and mid-century character. That same year the Flamingo was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, recognized both for its role in Santa Rosa's post-war growth and for its mid-century modern architecture.
Today the Flamingo operates as part of Hilton's Tapestry Collection on a lush, redwood-shaded 10-acre site, with the famous pool still the heart of the property — the gathering place for summer DJ afternoons and unhurried poolside lounging. The 170 guestrooms pair period-inspired design with floor-to-ceiling windows and thoroughly contemporary comforts, entry screens framing the bed toward the garden and pool. The Lazeaway Club serves pan-Pacific cuisine drawing on flavors from Mexico to Thailand, while the on-site spa, expansive fitness center, and group meeting spaces round out a true full-service resort. Its central east-Santa Rosa location puts guests within easy reach of the Russian River Valley, Healdsburg, and Sonoma Valley.
Hugh Codding was the prolific Santa Rosa developer behind the Flamingo, which he built in 1957 as the showpiece of his post-war vision for the city. Conceived in the glamorous spirit of the era's destination resorts, the Flamingo quickly became a social landmark for Sonoma County — and it remains the most enduring of Codding's many local developments, its mid-century bones still defining the property today.
The Lazeaway Club is the Flamingo's signature restaurant and poolside social scene, serving pan-Pacific cuisine with influences ranging from Mexico to Thailand. Anchored by the resort's famous S-shaped pool, it carries forward the property's mid-century spirit — tiki-tinged cocktails, sun-soaked afternoons, and the easy glamour that has defined life at the Flamingo since 1957.
