Hotel Healdsburg makes T+L Top 500 for 5th Year in a Row

Travel + Leisure magazine awards Hotel Healdsburg to Top 500 again in 2011



Here is what they have to say -

Healdsburg's historic downtown got a big dose of modern chic when this hotel opened in 2002, right on the main square. The property has a sophisticated, W-ish aesthetic, with common areas (a cavernous, firelit lobby lounge, a glassed-in breakfast atrium, a sleek outdoor pool) that feel luxe and decidedly angular. The 55 guest rooms are more inviting, with sunny yellow walls, polished pecan floors, and teak furnishings warming up the otherwise spare décor (the goose-down duvets and Frette linens help, too). Celebrity chef Charlie Palmer, who owns the hotel, also runs the excellent on-site restaurant, Dry Creek Kitchen; be sure to nab a dinner reservation when you book your room. For a more hands-on experience, sign up for any of several one-day cooking classes at Palmer's nearby Relish Culinary School—they run the gamut from pickling and cheesemaking to mushroom-foraging.
