With your first step into the lobby, you’ll note the attention to detail that will characterize your stay. Homage to the majestic oak tree glows in the form of backlit metallic art behind the front desk. At the inviting fireplace focal point, natural materials like charred black oak, marble, and metal accents are incorporated, further promoting a biophilic connection with nature. Taking our design inspiration from the local agrarian environment, we’ve incorporated patterns and textures inspired by aerial mapping of the region. A fresh palette of soothing earth tones with gentle accents of navy and gold carry throughout the property, acting as cues to the expansive Northern California sky and the pollination of bees so essential in the region. Nature-based aesthetics are continued in the outdoor terrace and pool areas, where curvaceous lines and exotic wood furnishings enhance your enjoyment of the fire pits and restorative plunges in the comfortably heated water. Sam & Mary’s Restaurant and Bar, the namesake of the owners grandparents, is ready to cater to your appetites with their locally inspired cuisine and specialty cocktails, along with craft beers from Sonoma County brewers. The modern, well-appointed guest rooms feature sumptuous amenities providing an equally fitting end for a day spent in meetings or one spent sampling local wines and relaxing outdoors.
