Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa

Tucked into what feels like a regal woodland in the heart of the Valley – almost appearing out of nowhere with its distinct pink buildings peeking out from mature trees that tower well over 100 feet – is the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa. It is just a few miles from the bustling historic Sonoma Plaza but feels as if in a remote world all its own.
