The Madrona

The uniqueness , the beautiful grounds.

Charming bed & breakfast on a beautiful property in the outskirts of Healdsburg. Well-situated for wine tasting. Modest, clean rooms, not luxurious but well-enough appointed. Lovely option of a full dining room with a good dinner menu. Also a great bar to lounge in with coffee, wine or drinks. Romantic for a couples retreat!

We have stayed in many Hotels including the Montage (a big disappointment) and hotels n the Square. A friend of ours recommended the Madrona and we’ve never looked back. This is our place and will be every time we visit Healdsburg. We’ve stayed in a variety of rooms and each one is a new delight. All the creature comforts you could ask for. The hospitality and attention to guests is outstanding. There is a gym, pool, restaurant and the best bar around. Breakfast is always delicious and included. The Madrona is also dog friendly. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous. What is not to love. Thank you to the Madrona staff. You always make us feel like family. Proximity to winery’s and downtown is perfect and the staff is so willing to make great recommendations on anything you want to do.

Beautiful oasis just outside of Healdsburg. Stayed for two nights in August and loved it. Had a beautiful, large room by the pool. Grounds are lovely. Dining excellent and the staff very, very helpful and friendly.

We had an amazing experience at The Madrona. The concierge, Rachel, planned a birthday weekend for our daughter and her recommendations and organization made the weekend very special. Hotel is very charming.

We loved staying here. The ambiance is beautiful. The entire space had a perfect balance of maintaining the charm of the aged manor while bringing modern finishes and amenities to the guest experience.
The food and cocktails were wonderful, too. We were delighted by the caviar and onion dip and the crudo. My wife is literally still talking about the duck a few days later.

The Madrona is such a lovely boutique property in Healdsburg. It was lovely to stay there and enjoy my room and the property and have meals there. A perfect getaway.

My wife & I had a wonderful stay in a bungalow on the property. It was quiet & private, stylish yet comfortable. The room amenities were on point, and the easy-to-use fireplace was a brilliant way to make a cozy space on a chilly Sonoma morning.
The rooms are flamboyant, making for an unique experience, while the main building juxtaposes its historic exterior, southern-charm feel with a modern interior that showcases world-class art works of all different types & sizes. It's like spending time in a gallery, but a super friendly one, with great drinks from the intimate bar. I love that your not greated with a hotel desk, it's like walking into someones (fancy) house. You have to search for the typical hospitality elements, making it feel far more approachable to be honest. It's obvious this team cares, and that the General Manager leads by example in attention to detail & hotel culture. I can't recommend this place enough for how many ways it flips the script on the typical, even for luxury, hotel experience.

One of my Healdsburg favorites for dinner or happy hour, it was a truly wonderful place to stay. Fantastic interior design, attentive and friendly staff, it felt as if I had known everyone there for years. Very close to downtown Healdsburg while also feeling like you escape to the remote countryside, Madrona really caters to everything. The availability of the bikes for quick jaunts into town and also the valet vehicle for going out to dinner made getting around without needing to drive an absolute A+. Could not recommend this place more!

The Madrona is uniquely located at the intersection of the Russian River and Dry Creek Valleys AVA - serving as a hidden oasis of 24 rooms amid the very best pinot noirs, chardonnays and zinfandels arguably in the world. A stone's throw from Healdsburg's charming plaza and with easy access to all of Sonoma, The Madrona's countless accolades for design and service leave little room to highlight is absolute perfect positioning.

We stayed for two nights and three days at The Madrone. It’s a beautiful estate with an excellent porch, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. The hotel staff were exceptionally attentive and kind, and the valet, Michael, was an absolute gem. The rooms were charming and picturesque.
Another highlight is the location, two wineries are within easy walking distance, making The Madrone not only convenient with its own in-house bar and restaurant but also a premium choice for wine lovers looking to enjoy tastings without the need to drive.
Unfortunately, the biggest drawback was the rock-hard beds. I quite literally left with back pain. Thankfully, Healdsburg has plenty of spas to help remedy that.
The Madrone Bar was lovely, with talented bartenders who clearly take pride in their craft. The restaurant, however, was hit or miss. While it offered a beautifully curated wine list sure to please any sommelier, the food itself was inconsistent. The duck dish and halibut crudo were excellent, but the remaining courses fell flat, particularly the “caviar,” which turned out to be little more than roe.
Our dining experience was quiet and calm, likely due to the off-season of November, but our waitress seemed on edge and somewhat inattentive, which detracted from what could have been a more polished service experience.
My partner, a wagyu enthusiast who has enjoyed authentic wagyu in Japan, found their version over-salted and charred, more reminiscent of a standard steak. For a $400 meal, the experience didn’t live up to expectations.
Overall, while The Madrone is undeniably elegant and the service staff generally warm, the comfort and dining experience left much to be desired. The convenient access to nearby wineries adds undeniable appeal, but the overall stay was somewhat a disappointing experience for what was meant to be a special birthday getaway.

We loved this hideaway at the edge of Sonoma County's fabulous wine country. The autumn colors and clear skies created the feeling of "escape from the real world". Elegant job of historic preservation, combined with modern amenities allow for a relaxing getaway. Impeccably clean room and friendly staff. We really enjoyed having a well-crafted cocktail in the fireside bar.

The Madrona is a beautiful, peaceful property. Everything from your check in to the food to the spectacular grounds and awesome staff is a strong 10+.

Beautiful property—we especially loved the garden and would have enjoyed the pool if the weather was right—great location near town and wineries—we especially loved the car service to dinner in Healdsburg, lovely restaurant and bar—both dinner and breakfast were great, and very nice rooms. Staff were friendly and attentive, and even mailed us our computer charger when we accidentally forgot it in the room.

Such a Hidden Gem! This is the perfect get away from any city. I love that they have their own garden and grow the food they serve at the hotel.

My husband and I spent a night at the beautiful Madrona in Healdsburg. The grounds are carefully tended and the main hotel building is quite an interesting and well-maintained inn from the 1800s.
Our room was in one of the out-buildings, No.1, and was spacious and private. I was disappointed in some of the features of the room: the bathroom door had a hook missing and a gouge and scrapes all over it; a chunk of the plaster wall in the bathroom was broken off; the shower was difficult to get into due to the high wall one has to step over to access it and the shower floor was slippery with no mat; the coffee maker had cups that were too large to fit under it; the chocolate left at the turndown was a well-known subpar brand. This was not what I expected for $600 a night.
We had a lovely dinner in the hotel that night. The food was excellent and the waitstaff attentive and pleasant.
All in all, a decent stay but one that could have been better with more attention to the details.

Our stay was fabulous. Was like coming home. Every room, private and public was comfy, cozy, entertaining, historical. The artwork amazing and eclectic.

The staff very attentive without being intsrusive and were very helpful I can see why Madrona is a Michelin Star property.
The gardens simply amazing and to be able to walk around and be with nature in wine country! Hello....just fabulous. The grounds, gym, etc. I could go on for days. Wished we could have stayed longer, but will definitely be back.

Thanks for making this such a memorable trip. Madrona truly embodied the Aloha spirit for us.

My wife and I were searching for a place to reconnect and get some much needed R&R. We found The Madrona online and from the photos, reviews, and location, thought it would be the perfect little getaway we were looking for. We took 3 days off of work, booked two airline tickets and flew up on a Tuesday.

Upon arrival the place was quite charming and the staff was very welcoming. We booked the balcony suite so we can really enjoy the views of the valley and vineyards. They showed us to our room and I have to say we loved the room and all the decor. We made arrangements to have dinner at the restaurant because of the ratings and since we were in the countryside, we ordered the duck. Not what I was expecting and I wish I had tried another dish. Our waitress seemed busy and we were sitting there with empty glasses and waited for our bill for quite a while.

After dinner we sat at the bar and really enjoyed the bartender, I think his name was Ryan. He made us some of his signature drinks and we had great conversation.

Layed down in the nice comfy bed and was awaken around 4am with loud traffic outside the hotel. Couldn't fall back asleep as the noise continued and got up unrested. Second night, layed down again and woke up around 2am with more loud noise. This time is sounded like leaf blowers out in front of the hotel. I reached out to the hotel staff and they were unsure what the noise was. Around 3:30am they finally figured out that the property next door had a grounds crew that worked through the night and was using dual gas leaf blowers to clean the streets in front of their establishment. The staff said there was nothing they could do about it so I layed there and had to listen to that noise until we got up at 7am, second night no sleep and got up unrested.

My wife and I had breakfast downstairs and we really enjoyed the eggs, fresh fruit, and the fresh squeezed orange juice. After breakfast, we decided to use the E-bikes and go for a ride around the neighborhood wineries which was really fun. We took a stroll through Healdsburg and checked the local shops. To spend our last day at The Madrona, we figured we could just lounge by the pool and maybe take a nap. The pool and pool area is quite nice and has lots of lounges. However, ironically enough, the grounds crew was using the leaf blower to clean the sidewalks adjacent to the pool and all we could hear was the whining from the electric leaf blowers. Needless to say, we did not get to rest nor take a nap that day.

We loved the house, staff, and grounds, but I'm not sure we can visit again unless they've dealt with the noise issues. We paid for the upgraded (balcony) room and felt as though we didn't get the overall experience we really needed, which was rest.

I recently stayed at The Madrona in Healdsburg and had a really lovely experience. The property is beautiful, but what impressed me most was the interior design. Every space feels carefully considered--there's a mix of vintage pieces, bold colors, and unique details that give the hotel so much character. It's stylish without feeling overdone, and there's a real sense of personality throughout.

My room was comfortable and beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches that made it feel special. Even the common areas, like the lobby and restaurant, were a pleasure to spend time in. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. It's the kind of place where design truly enhances the stay--I'd absolutely return.

It was probably the best hotel that I have ever stayed! So beautiful design and everything is curated and thought about, just exeptional experience overall! Will definitely return.
