At the centre of Healdsburg in northern Sonoma, Hotel Healdsburg is arranged around gardens and a shaded courtyard a short walk from the town plaza. Stucco walls, tall windows, French doors and balconies give the building a relaxed wine-country scale, while rooms use pale blues, natural textures and pieces made from local bay laurel. The spa, swimming pool and olive grove extend the property into its planted grounds. Restaurants and an open-air courtyard bar provide the main social spaces, with yoga and live music appearing across the weekly programme. Trellised paths connect the rooms to the garden rather than a conventional hotel corridor.
