The Madrona


Overview

Deep in the heart of California’s famed wine region, surrounded by citrus groves and lush green gardens, is The Madrona, Sonoma county’s newest boutique hotel and dining destination. This historic 24-room property sits on 8 acres of pristine land and was built in 1881 as a private family residence. Renowned designer Jay Jeffers’ has reincarnated the famed “Grand Dame” estates of the late 19th-century via an impressive collection of contemporary art—many of which were created exclusively for the hotel— intricately carved mahogany furnishings, quirky animal motifs, and assemblage of over 200 antiques from around the world. Beyond the stunning décor, sprawling grounds, heated pool and sumptuous rooms, The Madrona also offers exceptional and eclectic North Californian cuisine in its restaurant helmed by Michelin-starred chef Jesse Mallgren. Whether you choose to dine in the open-air Palm Terrace overlooking the gardens, on the stunning wrap-around Front Porch or in the quaint and cozy Front Parlor, the setting, the service, and the seasonal dishes won’t disappoint. Be sure to make the most of the myriad of experiences at your fingertips too – intimate picnic dinners in the famed Redwood Forest and private vineyard tours with local winemakers being the most popular of all.

Accommodations

The Madrona features a collection of quaint studios, classic rooms, and über-luxurious private bungalows as accommodation. Rooms at the Mansion are situated above the signature restaurant and main lounge areas in what was once the Paxton family’s living quarters. Due to the historic nature of the building, no two rooms are quite alike. Some feature soaring ceilings and scenic bay windows, while others have original fireplaces and large balconies that look out over the rolling hills of Dry Creek Valley. There are also a number of studio suites in the estate’s original Carriage House that provide more privacy and seclusion with their own exclusive entrance to the lobby. The elegant standalone bungalows, housed in buildings originally dating back to 1861, are scattered around the edges of The Madrona’s 8 acres, allowing for a more residential feel and providing a truly peaceful and secluded escape amongst the verdant trees and natural surroundings.
