Stay at the Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa

Just outside of Sonoma California, in the heart of the Sonoma Valley wine district, lies an elegant and gracious hostelry -The Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa. Managed by the Fairmount Hotel Corporation, it retains its classic California-style insouciance. Luxurious, but not formal, the Sonoma Mission Inn offers guests unique and comfortable accommodations, many with wood-burning fireplaces and private verandahs or balconies overlooking fields of grape vines.

High-speed Internet access in all of the guest rooms and a 24-hour business center help guests visiting on business to keep in touch while enjoying the carefree setting. An afternoon complimentary wine tasting in the lobby allows guests to share their experiences exploring the Sonoma Valley. The surrounding vineyards and rolling, golden hills provide a romantic backdrop to the day's activities.

The Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa is built on a source of natural thermal mineral water and the adjacent spa makes good use of it, with a thermal pool and bathhouse. Guests are well cared for with a full menu of services, including over a dozen different kinds of massages, several herbal wraps, and a Sonoma lavender facial as well as a state-of-the-art fitness facility. Spa treatments range from a traditional facial or massage to a hot stone massage and a Hungarian Moor Mud Kur, a detoxifying massage using mud infused with rosemary and healing waters. Hotel guests receive a discount on spa services and the resort offers many multi-treatment packages.

In addition to the spa, the resort features a classic 18-hole championship golf course, designed in 1928 by golf architect Sam Whiting, a delightfully private, Olympic-size swimming pool, and miles of hiking and biking trails. The hotel's award-winning restaurant, "Sante," creates delicious spa cuisine as well as a full menu of favorites, featuring the varied produce and wines of northern California. The Big Three Restaurant has been serving casual California cuisine for over 50 years and its bistro-style breakfasts and lunches still delight.

In addition to high-speed Internet access, business guests will appreciate the 24-hour business center, equipped with fax and copy machines, a/v equipment, conference calling, and on-call secretarial services. The Sonoma Mission Inn also features ten elegant meeting rooms, capable of accommodating up to 2000 guests for business conferences, trade shows, or wedding receptions.

Its small town charm and elegance relax you the minute you walk through the arched front door and continue with you throughout your stay. A trip to the Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa is like a trip back to classic California hospitality.
