Sonoma County Hotels Earn Michelin Keys for the Second Year in a Row
Renowned for its discerning standards in the culinary and hospitality realms, the Michelin Key rating system, which began in 2024, awards lodging properties around the world with this same level of excellence, distinguishing the most outstanding hotels and elevating the global standard for hotel excellence.
On October 8, 2025, the new list of distinguished properties was released, honoring properties with One, Two, or Three Keys, and for the second year in a row, the following Sonoma County properties made the cut!
Leading with Three Keys is SingleThread Inn in Healdsburg, renowned for its opulence and refinement. Boasting five exquisitely appointed accommodations, each exuding a modern-classic allure, SingleThread Inn offers an unparalleled luxury experience, seamlessly integrated with its acclaimed restaurant helmed by chef Kyle Connaughton.
Guerneville’s The Stavrand and Healdsburg’s The Madrona clinched Two Keys, embodying Sonoma County’s charm.
The Stavrand blends historical elegance with contemporary sensibilities, while The Madrona offers eclectic sophistication curated by owner and interior designer Jay Jeffers. The Montage Healdsburg also earned Two Keys.
Completing the quartet is The Sea Ranch Lodge, recognized with One Key for its exceptional character and seaside appeal, set among landscape of the rugged Sonoma County Coast.
The Michelin Key rating system provides travelers with a guide to exceptional hospitality experiences, transcending mere amenities to illuminate extraordinary stays that leave a lasting impression. These selections represent a diverse range of concepts, price ranges, and geographical locations, offering travelers unparalleled experiences tailored to their preferences.
Just as the Michelin Stars denote culinary excellence, the Michelin Keys highlight outstanding accommodations, setting a new benchmark for travelers seeking remarkable stays. Sonoma County’s presence on this prestigious list further solidifies its position as a destination of unparalleled hospitality and charm.
