Staying in Santa Rosa

Santa Rosa sits at the heart of Sonoma wine country, with the coast an hour or so west and the vineyards all around, and it works as a base for wine tasting, spa days and short breaks. The hotels on this list are spread widely: The Gables Wine Country Inn, Amitabha Wine Country Cottage and Olea Hotel lie south-east along Petaluma Hill and Warm Springs Roads; Vinarosa Resort & Spa, Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country, Flamingo Resort & Spa Santa Rosa Sonoma Tapestry by Hilton and Art House Hotel sit closer to the city centre; Sonoma Coast Villa is out on Coast Highway One.

Couples and wine travellers gravitate to the inn and cottage south of town, while Vinarosa Resort & Spa, with 956 reviews and a 4.5 rating, and the Hyatt Regency between them cover spa and resort stays. Families have family rooms at Olea Hotel, Flamingo Resort and Hyatt Regency, and the Spacious 3BD 2BA has a full kitchen. Business travellers are best served by the downtown properties, Art House Hotel and Hyatt Regency.
