The front door of our perfect wine getaway!
The beautiful façade of MacArthur Place. The rustic architecture and abundant greenery made me feel like I was at home
The quaint charm of the lobby and welcoming staff set the tone for a special, curated stay in Sonoma
Our beautiful room with neutral colors and plenty of textures to create a serene environment to unwind in. The fireplace was an added cozy touch!
I mean… Have you seen a more relaxing photo? The bathtub was the highlight of my stay. Perfect for sipping wine and soaking it all in, it’s the perfect way to end the day
A charcuterie board from the property’s Layla Restaurant, which I enjoyed in the magical bathtub
The hotel tote was perfect for going out into town and shopping at local stores
Obviously, we are in wine country! The selection at the MacArthur wine cellar carries everything you could ever dream of and more. The highest quality wine you can get your hands on
From grapes to glass! I loved learning about the wine-making process and seeing the grapes that are used to make delicious, high-quality wine
The chic bar at MacArthur balances classic American style and elegance all the while serving timeless cocktails and a selection of curated craft beers
My favorite way to kickstart my days was by taking a stroll to the restaurant for some breakfast, layered up in my favorite jacket. The hash browns are my absolute favorite!
The hash browns from Layla were probably the best thing I’ve ever eaten! Perfectly crispy and golden, they are the ultimate addition to your breakfast
The property had a Chef’s Garden with beautiful fruits and vegetables, which are used for the delicious dishes and cocktails at Layla Restaurant
Hand-picked sage used in the delicious dishes and cocktails at the hotel's own restaurants
The interior design of the hotel is gorgeous and there are added touches throughout, like these ceiling art pieces, that create a unique experience
The hotel features art throughout, and I especially LOVED this “love” piece on the property grounds
I love the marble motif the hotel has throughout its property and even integrated into the smaller decorative accents like these coasters and pencils
Highs & Lows
-
The hotel grounds were absolutely gorgeous and the room was stunning — I felt tucked away in an outdoor, chic getaway. Between the greenery and artwork sprinkled around, I got the best of both worlds from luxury to comfort in a beautiful setting.
-
The highlight of my trip was definitely taking baths in the bathhouse! Any excuse I would get, I would use the bathtub — from drinking wine and champagne to enjoying a delicious charcuterie board. I’d never experienced such bliss until the bathhouse. Can you tell I was obsessed? The heated floors in the bathroom were also an added plus.
-
I especially loved the marbling motif featured throughout the hotel. Even the smaller decorative accents like pens and coasters had this special, artsy touch — I had to take them home!
-
There was only one restaurant in the space, which was closed some of the days I stayed at the hotel. It had a limited menu, which meant I couldn’t order anything at any time. Because of this, I had to revert to ordering from the limited bar menu.
