Kenwood Inn and Spa

Romantic getaway! We loved the fireplace in the suite and the lattes and cappuccinos available in the public space along with sparkling water on tap. We visited during the off season and enjoyed the quiet and tranquil property with all the greenery. The breakfast is also 5 star.

We live in the Bay Area, and Kenwood Inn and Spa is one of our fave getaways, especially in the winter. They have a pool-sized hot tub with a fountain, which allows for year-round outdoor lounging. The greenery on the grounds is truly spectacular. The rooms are unusually spacious, the fireplaces extra cozy... and the huge breakfast is one of the best. During this last visit, we were automatically upgraded to a room with a balcony and view of the pool. There was some construction noise ( we understand, you have to upgrade), and were reminded that the real star of Kenwood is the staff. I could go on about everyone, from the front desk staff to the concierge to the chef and the crew who kept the place beautiful, but they really genuinely worked to make our stay pleasant in a way I have rarely, if ever, experienced in a hotel. They just really care about their guests.

kenwood inn is a beautiful property. each room has its own outside entrance. the rooms are well appointed with gas fireplaces, luxurious sheets and towels, and coffee service. we loved the warming pool, breakfast, evening wine tastings, and the spa. the staff is courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable about the property and area. great wineries and restaurants within a mile.

This was a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful grounds and building. Very nice rooms and en-suite. The staff are friendly and the vibe is chill. However, two things I found a little off putting: (1) The French doors are covered by a curtain from the inside of the room, should you want privacy. Great. But if you leave to go anywhere, you can’t close the curtains, so anyone can come to your room (easily accessible) and look through the French doors and see what they might be interested in stealing. This is because you can’t shut the curtain from the outside and it’s in a rigid rod. So when you leave, everyone can see inside your room. The other issue for me was (2) I don’t know what laundry soap they use to clean towels, but even “fresh” towels gave an offensive odor. When they are dry, it’s not obvious. But once they have moisture, it’s very obvious. My husband and I thought maybe they weren’t washed. They were. It’s an unpleasant odor. I would definitely come back and I’d highly recommend it. Just bring your own towels and keep mindful of your privacy.

Our stay at Kenwood Inn and Spa couldn’t have been more lovely. After facing a few challenges this year, we definitely needed a getaway. From the stellar staff, to the gorgeous grounds and impeccable rooms, the Kenwood Inn and Spa offers a relaxing haven in a lovely location. Everything was top notch and we look forward to our next stay!
