5 Sonoma County Hotels to Visit This Holiday Season
Sonoma County hotels help guests and visitors get into the festive spirit with special events, treats and holiday decor. Below are five properties that take it to the next level.
Hotel Petaluma, Petaluma
Every year, Hotel Petaluma decorates its courtyard with Christmas trees and festive lights. The hotel also hosts a gingerbread house showcase and competition, with some of the sweet dwellings replicating historic Petaluma mansions. The hotel is also known to make it “snow” in the courtyard with nighttime flurries through December.
Another bonus to staying at Hotel Petaluma: It’s walking distance to Brewsters Beer Garden, an open-air dining restaurant that goes all out for the holiday season with over-the-top decorations and a specialty holiday drink menu! Bring your family and friends for a festive holiday experience!
Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa, Sonoma
Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa offers guests a taste of Wine Country magic with Instagram-worthy Chalets that brim with festive cheer, offering the ultimate cozy retreat. Indulge in delectable dishes and holiday-inspired cocktails while soaking up the enchanting atmosphere of the historic resort.
Staying through the holiday? Fairmont’s Santé Restaurant not only hosts a Christmas dinner but puts on an exciting New Year’s Eve event as well.
Flamingo Resort & Spa, Santa Rosa
Flamingo Resort & Spa is the place to be for festive tiki-holiday decor, hosting a Sippin’ Santa Christmas Spectacular ever year. The entire property becomes a tiki-winter wonderland and comes to life when lit up with thousands of lights, holiday decor, performances by holiday elves and carolers, and festive cocktails and bites in Flamingo’s Lazeaway Club. Plus, Santa is also known to make an appearance to take photos with families. The resort is located in Santa Rosa!
The Inn at the Tides, Bodega Bay
Gift yourself a coastal Christmas with a seaside retreat to the Inn at the Tides in Bodega Bay. Decorated with lights, the inn bursts with holiday spirit just steps away from the Pacific Ocean.
Staying through the New Year? Bay View Restaurant located right on the property hosts a New Year’s Eve celebration with dinner, dancing and a midnight champagne toast.
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Sonoma Wine Country, Rohnert Park
Cozy up at The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Sonoma Wine Country with a crackling fireplace and heated inside pool and sauna, then treat yourself to an over-the-top holiday extravaganza at the newly opened Waterhawk Lake Club located just two miles from the hotel property. The venue is transformed into an over-the-top, kitschy, and nostalgic Christmas wonderland. Think endless tinsel, vintage ornaments, blinking lights, Christmas trees in every corner, and classic holiday movies playing on a loop.
