Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn

Andrew, Espen, and I had the most magical stay at Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa this past week. It was mine and Andrew’s 3rd Anniversary and we were looking for a family friendly hotel with a pool that we could get to within an hour. Sure enough, we found Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa and it was only 30 minutes from Marin! There are so many things that make this place amazing, but the staff is by the far the key to their special sauce. Each one of their employees were kind, ready to help at any moment, and overall just happy to do their job. I compiled a list of all the reasons why we loved the Fairmont and some of the meals we ate.

Highlights:

-Champagne Check-In

-Le Labo products in the rooms

-85°F hot spring pool naturally heated by the ancient thermal mineral spring that the property sits on

-Complimentary sunscreen at the pool

-Nightly wine tasting at 4:00PM PT

-Corn hole, bocci ball, Jenga, and other games around the property to play

-Willow Stream Spa

-Adult-only pool available

-38° North Bar pours over 50 wines by the glass from local and international wineries

-Servers come around at the pool to refill waters every hour (hydration is key for a breastfeeding momma)

-Lobster nachos at the pool
