The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa
The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa qualifies as a destination hotel. According to its website, it's one of only a few luxury hotels in the world to have its own thermal mineral water source--of which it takes full advantage, featuring both indoor and (seasonal) outdoor pools. The hotel also features a state-of-the-art spa service, and the cuisine hasn't been overlooked either: Its restaurant, Santé, has received a Michelin star.

Sonoma Creek Inn
With its simple, cozy atmosphere and folksy vibe, Sonoma Creek Inn appeals to those seeking a more rustic, homey environment. It's off the beaten path a bit, but there's plenty to do nearby, like taking a soak in the Boyes Hot Springs. Sonoma County is known for its excellent antiquing opportunities, memorable restaurants and an abundance of wineries to sample, but guests can stick closer to the hotel and sign up for some canoeing, which it offers.

The El Dorado Hotel
The El Dorado Hotel is a safe bet for the budget-minded but style-conscious traveler who appreciates a good value and straightforward style in a boutique hotel. Its location is appreciated by guests; so is the on-premises El Dorado Kitchen, which has consistently been voted Sonoma's best eatery. Frommer's decribes it as "downtown Sonoma's most hip and contemporary restaurant."
