The Madrona

Inside and out this special property is a joy to look at. Perhaps some might think the décor is a little bold, but I am sure most will think it is very stylish, chic, and playful. The hotel consists of a beautiful main mansion where all the public spaces are found, a carriage house with the most rooms, and several cottages scattered about. No two rooms are alike and we booked a bungalow studio. Our room was spacious with a smart modern décor with a twist. A beamed ceiling that was wallpapered. The black & white bathroom was large with three frosted windows that helped keep both rooms bright. We thought our room came with some outdoor space so we were a little disappointed it did not, but during breakfast one morning the manager checked in with us and recommended a different room if we returned. I think we will. As for that complimentary breakfast it was very tasty with one hot item each morning along with some pastries, fruit, and typical breakfast beverages. You will enjoy it as long as you like the hot item of the morning. A highlight of our visit for us was the beautiful pool area. During our June stay the Jasmine was blooming and cascading over a wall. There were plenty of other flowering plants and trees nearby. There are comfortable lounging areas and if you want food or drinks, you are able to scan a QR code to see a menu and have it delivered from the main house. The gym was also a nice surprise. It looks good, but does not have much to offer for working out, but I somehow managed to leave satisfied. There are also several Peloton bikes. The grounds are pretty with lots of produce grown on site. The only compliant we have is that the parking lot is in the middle of the property between the two main structures and at times is the staging area for deliveries. The hotel is about a mile from downtown Healdsburg which has a lot to offer. The daily resort fee was $60 per day during our stay. Parking is free.

Every detail is taken into consideration, from getting to know you, the room, occasion, and decor. The Madrona is one of the best places to stay in Healdsburg.

If you're looking at a trip to wine country generally, or Healdsburg specifically, you know there are a lot of options. We've been coming up here from LA a lot over the past 10years and the one place that is our absolute first check (before looking at wineries or restaurants or anything else) is whether we can stay at the Madrona. The property grounds are absolutely gorgeous and you actually feel like you have an oasis to escape to at the end of a day of exploring. We've stayed in most of the rooms at this point, and every single one is special in its own way. If you can get one of the salon rooms, we LOVE those. This isn't just a place to crash at night after a long day of wine tasting. They have e-bikes that you can use in the morning for a ride along Westside road. The complimentary car service - arrange in advance - will ferry you to and from town. We usually make a point of having at least one dinner onsite as both the food and beverage program are great! Finally, the staff really go out of their way to make your stay as special as possible - if it's your first time to the area, be sure to reach out in advance for great suggestions about vineyards, shops, and restaurants to visit in the area.

Our 20th anniversary visit to Madrona was unforgettable. Thanks to Rachel, the concierge, we had four days of fun and luxury mapped out for us. This is my third time to Madrona, and I already can't wait to go back! Beautiful, relaxing atmosphere and exceptional service. This is one special place!

From no luggage support, to a mini fridge full of someone's left overs, to being ghosted by staff in my request for late checkout. I expected much better based on the price and accolades of this property.

For 2 Michelin keys, we expected a bit more from what we experienced. We only stay at 5 star hotels and this one stood out to us because of the Michelin stars. But service, hospitality fell short of what a 5 star hotel should be. Rooms were uncomfortable, and was not thoughtfully designed or configured. The entire sitting area was wrapped in this very busy wallpaper including the ceiling . If you are having your guests feel relaxed and have tranquillity, it did'nt work. We booked a cottage one of the more expensive accomodation , not mentioned any where that there's not TV in the room, There is no place to hang your towels only 2 hooks which is for the robes. Coffee machine is hidden in a cabinet and the entire coffee making was not friendly. No room service. This is not a full service hotel, it felt like we went glamping. Snack that is for sale were expired.
