Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country sits at 170 Railroad Street, a short walk from Historic Railroad Square in downtown Santa Rosa. The AAA Four Diamond property features 253 newly renovated guest rooms and suites — plush beds, cozy seating nooks, spa-inspired bathrooms with rainfall showers, and select rooms with private patios overlooking garden courtyards. Outside, the heated pool, fire pit courtyard, and 20,000 square feet of outdoor event space give the property a resort feel. The vaulted-ceiling lobby with its stone fireplace anchors the stay, and Railroad Stop, Sonoma Café, and the new Brasserie handle dining from morning breakfast through sunset wine flights.

The hotel’s complimentary beach cruisers open up downtown Santa Rosa and the Prince Memorial Greenway, while a short drive delivers you into Sonoma County’s 400-plus wineries — Rodney Strong, Kendall-Jackson, and Korbel sit within twenty minutes, and Healdsburg’s plaza is thirty. Bodega Bay and the Sonoma Coast are an hour west for rocky Pacific vistas. Napa Valley, the Russian River, and the Charles Schulz Museum (Santa Rosa is Peanuts country) round out the nearby options. Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport is twenty minutes north; San Francisco International is about ninety minutes south.
