Just under an hour north of San Francisco, nestled among the wineries of the Sonoma Valley, this North California spa resort is a haven of casual sophistication.
Built around a central courtyard where guests can dine under the stars next to the glistening pool, the award-winning Carneros Bistro and Wine Bar presents local wines and hearty, innovative, Mediterranean-influenced cuisine.
The hotel also features an inviting gallery lounge, fitness center and tempting Raindance Spa, offering a wealth of treatments. The spacious and beautifully-appointed rooms are located either in the main lodge and Broadway Terrace building, most of which have a balcony or sitting area; or in the cottages dotted around the grounds, featuring either a patio or balcony and many overlooking Sonoma's rolling hills.
