Ledson Hotel sits directly on Sonoma's historic Plaza, designed and built by fifth-generation Sonoma farmer and winemaker Steve Ledson — of Ledson Winery fame. The intimate hotel features just six suites, each named for a member of the Ledson family and outfitted with distinct personalities to match. Antique furnishings and imported chandeliers, oriental rugs, wood-carved ceilings, and finely detailed millwork transport guests to a more refined era. Each suite includes a fireplace, whirlpool tub, plush robes, and a private balcony — features that anchor the hotel's standing as one of Sonoma's most distinctive small luxury properties.

Specialty Offerings

The on-site Zina Lounge offers an American-Asian fusion menu paired with selections from the Ledson family's winery and other regional producers, popular with both hotel guests and visitors to the Plaza. The location places guests within steps of Sonoma's most distinguished restaurants, tasting rooms, art galleries, and historic landmarks. The hotel's owner-operator philosophy and direct family connection to Sonoma viticulture distinguish Ledson from larger commercial operators and infuse every guest interaction with a sense of place.

Hotel Highlight

Steve Ledson is a fifth-generation Sonoma farmer and winemaker who designed and built the six-room Ledson Hotel himself, opening it on the Sonoma Plaza in 2003. A descendant of gold miner Zina Hyde Cunningham — namesake of the hotel's downstairs lounge — Ledson runs the property as an extension of his family's wine estate, and you can taste the connection in every glass poured at check-in.

Each of the six suites is named for a Ledson family member — a personal touch from fifth-generation winemaker Steve Ledson, who designed and owns the property on Sonoma Plaza. Every suite features 17th-19th century antique furnishings, a whirlpool tub, and a fireplace, with the on-property Zina Lounge pouring Ledson Winery wines under the same family hand.
