5 Sonoma Hotels to Visit This Holiday Season
Sonoma County hotels are helping guests and visitors get into the festive spirit with special events, treats and holiday decor.
Big-tree dreams: Every year, Hotel Petaluma decorates its courtyard with Christmas trees and festive lights. The hotel also hosts a gingerbread house showcase and competition (Dec. 17 this year), with some of the sweet dwellings replicating historic Petaluma mansions. In years past, the hotel has even made it “snow” in the courtyard— fingers crossed for that happening again this year. Call for details. 205 Kentucky Street., Petaluma. 707-559-3393, hotelpetaluma.com (Courtesy of Hotel Petaluma)
Warm treats: Gather by the fireplace at Hotel Healdsburg for holiday tea, where the beautiful glassed-in porch is decorated as a winter wonderland. House-made treats from Dry Creek Kitchen add to the warm winter vibes. 25 Matheson Street., Healdsburg. 707-431-2800, hotelhealdsburg.com (Courtesy of David Baker Architects)
