Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa

My Bookclub consisting of 10 well traveled women.traveled to Sonoma to for our annual trip. The resort did not receive the best reviews, but we took a chance because Costco Travel recommended. In short our experience was nothing short of outstanding. Service is paramount to any experience and the ENTIRE team payed attention to each detail. Brice and his team made our stay memorable. Alisha welcomed us graciously, Pablo always had a smile and was wet accommodating, Holly took great care of us for late night bites. Elizabeth, Kasey and Sebastian were all excellent setting up transportation, reservations at vineyards and restaurants. Craig and the Valet crew went over and above to deliver a birthday cake to a restaurant for us because it was a surprise for one of our Bookclub Members. The spa staff especially Mario and Kaitlyn were phenomenal. Every interaction with staff was exceptional. Do yourself a favor and visit this resort. Lots of amenities together with attention to detail made our stay exceptional. 10/10

My husband booked an appointment for my friend and I to go to the spa at Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn for my birthday. She signed up for a massage, and I got a facial. This was quite a treat, and not something that we have done before. We both thoroughly enjoyed it!! Also, you have access to the various pools and saunas before and after your appointments. The atmosphere was very relaxing, with soothing music and fountains. It was a wonderful experience, and we highly recommend it!

Amazing experience. Jason at the bar, Sally - the hiking guide, Lynn the hostess with the mostess and Gerard at the pool all deserve a pat on the back for their warm hospitality. Love this hotel and my room - can’t sit to go back soon.

Historic spa and springs hotel that offers a wide variety of delicious food items. This is not your modern, loud and lively spot, but it doesn't pretend or advertise to be. Between the Spa, the Staff, food, and shuttles this was such a pleasant and relaxing stay. We were greeted with hospitality from Bobby and Staff at the front desk, and the kitchen manager really went above and beyond for us every day at Santé. Visiting downtown Sonoma is a must with the shuttle, and take the recommendations of the concierge for food options nearby the Hotel. We always try to eat memorable food items, and the Green Goddess crunch sandwich was up there. Would stay again. Its relaxing, and the spa is a huge selling point.

We heard that Sante was starting the Sunday Supper dinners and we wanted to be there on the first day. We started in the bar with special spritzes created by the bartender, Deb, which were delicious. Our group was seated promptly, and we ordered a bottle of Rose from Arnot Roberts that was amazing, the wine list is extensive, but the server was knowledgeable and able to recommend some great local offerings. We had been to Sante before, but the restaurant looks fresh and chic since the recent renovation. Sean Carscaden, one of our favorite local artists was playing a couple of tables away, the volume was perfect, we were able to have conversations without it being obtrusive. The courses came out "family-style", we never waited for anything but also did not feel rushed. We had a friend join as we were starting the second course, staff was accommodating and moved a table over and got her caught up on the previous course. Since we had seen Sean before, we knew some of his playlist and he allowed us to request some songs. We ordered a bottle of Syrah to have with our main course, and it was perfect. I wish we would have taken some pictures of the food, but we were having such a nice time talking, drinking and eating that it slipped our mind, that's when you know you are having a good dinner. Dessert was strawberry shortcake, totally seasonal from a local farm, paired with a beautiful dessert wine. Totally recommend the Sunday Supper experience, they even have valet parking, and you can sit out front at one of the firepits after dinner. Kudos to Chef Jen.
