The Luxurious MacArthur Place in Downtown Sonoma

MacArthur Place offers many amenities designed to enhance every guest's experience. The hotel features a luxurious spa offering a range of rejuvenating treatments and wellness services. I take any chance I get to check out a spa I haven't tried and this one was incredible. I highly recommend making an appointment here while visiting so you can make the most of your stay. I enjoyed a 60-minute hot stone massage, which was delightful!

Guests can relax by the outdoor pool or explore the tranquil grounds. You can take a bike ride, enjoy the fresh air at their various fire pits and enjoy a stunning gym with two Peloton Bikes (my favorite gum perk). The gorgeous, recently renovated pool area is another one of the highlights of this hotel and spa. You can really experience ultimate relaxation while getting a tan or enjoying one of their cabanas with food and a drink. FORA Pro tip is to book a cabana, which also includes a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Champagne and their house charcuterie board, which was delicious.

This hotel and spa offers an exceptional dining experience with its acclaimed restaurant, Layla. You can also find spectacular cocktails at the MacArthur Bar or delicious lattes at The Porch. Known for its farm-to-table cuisine, Layla showcases seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms and purveyors. This ensures fresh and flavorful dishes that highlight the best of Sonoma's culinary offerings. The restaurant's elegant, yet relaxed atmosphere provides the perfect setting for enjoying meals crafted with passion and creativity. During the warmer months, their outdoor patio is perfect for dining under the stars in Sonoma’s Wine Country.
