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.
Restored 1906 Beaux-Arts landmark with the Enology Lounge on Courthouse Square.
Hotel E occupies the restored Empire Building — a 1906 Beaux-Arts landmark on Santa Rosa's Old Courthouse Square that survived earthquakes, decades of office use, and a 2017 structural and design overhaul that reawakened it as the city's leading boutique hotel. The architecture is the draw: an iconic limestone and brick façade, terrazzo and marble interiors, and 39 thoughtfully appointed guest rooms layered into the existing footprint with contemporary linens, Supima cotton bedding, and details that nod to the building's pre-fire past.
The Enology Lounge wine bar is the social spine of the property — a place where the local sommelier crowd actually drinks, with a curated selection of Sonoma County selections and a daily 5-7pm happy hour that fills with both hotel guests and downtown regulars. Hotel E's Courthouse Square location puts guests within steps of Santa Rosa's restaurant district, three coffee shops, the Sonoma County Museum, and the SMART train station. For travelers prioritizing a Sonoma County base in a real city — not a wine country resort — Hotel E is the strongest editorial choice. Currently the highest-rated hotel in Santa Rosa on most major review platforms.
Hugh Futrell is the developer behind Hotel E, the 71-room boutique property occupying Santa Rosa's 1908 Empire Building on Old Courthouse Square. As CEO of Hugh Futrell Corporation, he's been one of the most consequential figures in downtown Santa Rosa's redevelopment, and the hotel — operated in partnership with Greystone Hotels — was the first new property to open in the city after the devastating 2017 wildfires.
The Enology Lounge is Hotel E's editorial centerpiece — a wine bar built into the restored 1906 Beaux-Arts Empire Building on Old Courthouse Square, programmed around Russian River, Dry Creek, and Alexander Valley pours. The 39-room property is the highest guest-rated hotel in Santa Rosa, with Supima cotton linens and European down anchoring the room experience.
