The Stavrand is an intimate 11-room property in the heart of the Russian River Valley, a historic Guerneville landmark revitalized in 2021 with two Michelin Keys. Its Armstrong rooms feature cathedral ceilings, jacuzzi tubs, and private decks framing redwood and orchard views. The signature five-star service is unobtrusive but ever-present, with an on-site dining program and river producers minutes away.
Five-star service at intimate scale, deep in the Russian River Valley.
The Stavrand reflects its current ownership group's reverence for historic landmarks combined with appreciation for creative modern styling. The historic property in the heart of the Russian River Valley underwent a major revitalization that elevated service, design, and amenities while preserving the architectural character that defines the property. All hosts have been selected and empowered to deliver Stavrand's signature style of intuitive, authentic five-star service — unobtrusive yet always available, anticipating rather than reacting. Recognition with two Michelin Keys reflects the rare ability to deliver this level of refinement at intimate scale.
The property functions as a small private estate, with limited rooms that allow concierge-style attention to every guest. The on-site dining program features locally sourced ingredients prepared with restraint and skill. Outdoor spaces include the property's gardens and pool. Wine country and Russian River wine producers are minutes away, and the concierge team is well-positioned to coordinate visits with Sonoma's most respected winemakers as well as activities along the river and coast.
Emily Glick is owner and general manager of The Stavrand, a property she acquired with her husband Sam during the pandemic after a 15-year career that culminated in running the 131-room Kimpton Buchanan in San Francisco. The name honors her late mother's Norwegian family — innkeepers themselves — and the ethos shows: small details, attentive hosts, a property that feels run by someone who has thought about every shower curtain and welcome aperitif.
The Stavrand holds Michelin Two Keys, the guide's recognition of exceptional hospitality — one of only a handful of properties in Sonoma County to earn the distinction. The historic landmark restoration deep in the Russian River Valley pairs five-star intuitive service with the kind of intimate scale that mirrors the Michelin Key emphasis on personal connection rather than amenity count.
