Les Mars Hotel Healdsburg in Healdsburg ★★★★★  

Opened in May 2005 and created by the Mars family, Les Mars Hotel brings the elegance and unobtrusive service of the finest European family hotels to Northern California. The Mars family follows the philosophy that patrons should be treated more like visiting friends than guests, and upon entering the lobby, visitors are welcomed to the warm smiles of the Swiss-trained hotel staff, unique 17th and 18th century antiques, and a comfort found only at the home of a very good friend. Les Mars Hotel represents a unique family project, a labor of love, and a new dimension of sophisticated, luxury lodging in wine country. Andrew Harper’s Hideaway Report, the definitive guide to luxury travel, commented that "Les Mars now sets the standard for luxury accommodations in Sonoma."
