Ledson Hotel & Zina Lounge

Absolutely beautiful, quiet, romantic boutique hotel with an excellent location on Sonoma Plaza within walking distance to numerous restaurants and shops. The GM Brandon was extremely helpful with everything from restaurant and wine recommendations to transportation. Alex provided an excellent wine tasting for us on the lovely front patio; she was knowledgeable about the Ledson wines and the family’s history. Housekeeping staff were polite, professional, friendly and kept our room clean and tidy. We will be visiting the Ledson Hotel again in the future and highly recommend it for couples traveling to Sonoma, CA.

My husband and I stayed at the Ledson Hotel this past weekend to celebrate our anniversary. It was my favorite hotel we've ever stayed in and it's the perfect location in Sonoma. The entire hotel is beautiful, as was our room. There is so much character and attention to detail throughout this hotel, it is really something to see. Our room had a balcony overlooking Sonoma Plaza, which was a great place to enjoy coffee in the morning. We also enjoyed the jacuzzi tub in the room. The bathroom itself was very spacious and comfortable as well. I also have to acknowledge the staff at the hotel and in Zina Lounge. They were so friendly and went out of their way to make our stay extra special. The whole experience was perfect, and I can't wait to go back!

beautiful little hotel with friendly service. The pairing of the hotel with wine tasting in the lounge is super special - Rob was great leading/educating us for the tasting. Being right in the square is lovely and convenient. Would do stay again and recommend the wine tasting experience too.

We loved this small hotel with just 6 rooms. The room was large and beautifully appointed with a large marble bathroom, jacuzzi tub, marble fireplace, balcony, high ceilings and wood floors. We love the architectural elements of both the room and the facility with beautiful woodwork, marble, and inlaid wood floors. The bed was great, as were the linens. All in all, a classy, romantic getaway and good value. Our rate also included a free wine tasting in the tasting room downstairs. The wines were excellent.

Because of Rob Schott the Ledson wine room was by far the pinnacle of our trip to Sonoma. Rob encouraged us to come in earlier in the morning and showed us around where we were blown away at the aesthetic of the lobby and Rob’s genuine hospitality and warmth. It is clear that this wine bar is not a job for Rob but a lifestyle. Rob told us we had to come back and offered to reserve the table in front of the fireplace. The wines were the best we tasted on this trip and they were in the mid 90 point range. Everything about this place shouts EXCELLENCE, everything. To top off our experience three women stopped in after closing and Rob offered to give them a taste because they were visibly disappointed. All of us ended up having a great time as Rob efficiently did his last chores. It was efficient and kind and sublime. This guy has a magical way about him. When it comes to design excellence I am not a guy in a diner just spouting off. I have designed award winning design and energy efficient homes. The devil is in the details. The day before I drove by and remarked to my wife, “ look at the condition of that old hotel, what a renovation. This was only to find out that Steve Ledson built it in 1999 to look antique. Mission accomplished. The interior is equally impressive. The guest rooms are just perfect too, Rob had one empty room and was able to give us a tour. Ledson did not miss a trick, even the bathrooms have his and hers marble sinks. If we ever come back to Sonoma we will stay no place else. The only thing we missed was to personally meet Mr. Ledson to thank and congratulate him for excellence in every aspect of his master work. Wine, architecture, interior design, employment and Rob’s cordial hospitality and interest in us personally.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Ledson Hotel.  So many terrific things to point out: Above all, the staff (Rob and Michelle) were so friendly and helpful and truly made us feel like we were visiting with old friends.  Rob was so personable and accommodating with his knowledge of the area, the hotel, the wines and the history.  He even got me to join the wine club (which I hadn't planned on doing)! The hotel itself was lovely.  The builder (Steve) did an incredible job of creating an old world feel with a modern design.  As a real estate developer myself, I appreciated the attention to detail.  The fireplace and jacuzzi tub in the room was a master stroke!   In addition the details, such as the inlaid wood and classic light fixtures, added an elegance that we did not expect. We also loved the lobby.  As it was cold and rainy for much of our stay, the lobby fireplace was the perfect spot for relaxing and having a glass of your excellent wine! All in all we couldn't have asked for a better experience.  We really felt like we were in the right place at the right time and we look forward to returning soon.
