This is the second weekend I've spent with friends at the Fairmont in Sonoma and it won't be the last. Excellent service and beautiful grounds and rooms. Good location for access to the Town Square and the wineries. The Spa is a sanctuary and the services are world class. I listened to other guests around the Spa pool and that... More

Just returned from 4 nights at SMI. This has been our thiord visit over 20 years, so we have watched the evolution of the hotel and spa over the years. First, the good news. The Mission suites (stayed twice) are a bit funky w/ the bathtub in the middle but spacious and comfortable. We love lighting the fireplace every morning... More

We booked this...never having been there...based on the website pictures which showed a beautiful restaurant. Bar.lobby. but when we arrived the entire first floor was under construction. Temporary Bar set back in a corner. Lobby a mess. Every morning glasses from the night before where all over outside. No restaurant for breakfast or lunch. Just a diner a short walk... More

We booked this property for an anniversary get-a-way and weren't disappointed. Upon check-in we decided to splurge and upgrade to a Mission Suite. The suite was very large with a double spa bathtub right in the middle of the room (in all my travels this was a first!). The suite had a working fireplace which we used every night and... More

Fairmont quality service, a Marriott quality room and a great location from which to tour Napa and Sonoma make this a difficult review. Simply, if its the hotel room you want to rate, I give it a 3.5. If you care about personal service and a nice overall property, it's a 4.5. Average it to a 4.0 and you will... More

The only reason I give it as much as a rating of 3 is that Fairmont has accomplished a lot in renovating a tired old historic place. But it is pointless. The surrounding area is too rundown. Perhaps they have bigger plans to go beyond the boundary and improve the neighborhood. For example they could buy out the large Thrift... More

We booked this resort through the AmEx Fine Hotels and Resorts program, which allows for early check-in, late check-out, $100 hotel credit and a room upgrade, when available. Upon check-in, we were greeted by a very friendly valet staff and taken to the reception. Our room was ready and we were upgraded to the top level Mission Suite. It was... More

We came to do wine tasting in Sonoma and Napa Valleys and were pleasantly surprised how nice the hotel was. Don't believe any of the bad reviews, it was clean, and recently renovated. We ate at the Sante Restaurant and loved it.

I recently stayed at the Fairmont Sonoma in April as part of my honeymoon trip. I arrived on the 9th and left on the 11th of April. The reason I chose this hotel was because it was part of the American Express Fine Hotels and Resorts and because in my opinion at the time the Fairmont had a good reputation.... More
