READ MOREOur Inspector's Highlights
- The Sonoma hotel has an Old World feel about it with romantic
four-poster beds and antique armoires and a lobby, but white walls, high ceilings and
elegant details keep it fresh and light.
- The hotel sits just a block from quaint Healdsburg’s town square.
Stroll over to peruse one-of-a-kind boutiques, art galleries, wine bars
and more. One of our favorite stops is next door: Shed is a two-story
foodie emporium with a market, a café and an event space.
- In a nod to true European hospitality, breakfast comes with your stay. During our visit, a tray teeming with fresh fruit, croissants, pastries, yogurt with honey, coffee and tea arrived in the morning. It was a nice way to wake up.
-
A stay in Hotel Les Mars comes with perks. The hotel has special relationships with a number of Sonoma and Napa wineries and can get you complimentary tours and tastings to some top spots.
- After a long day of vineyard visits, it's nice to regroup in the hotel's easygoing Chalkboard Restaurant. You can chat about the day's adventures over glasses of Sonoma wines and flavorful small plates.

The Rooms
- With just 16 rooms spread throughout two floors, the hotel offers
unique details individual to each and every room.
- The third-floor rooms feel more spacious thanks to 20-foot-tall
beamed ceilings.
- Elegant accommodations have canopied
four-poster beds made of hand-carved wood and swathed in Italian Versai
linens, handcrafted mahogany furniture and cozy gas fireplaces.

Whether you opt for the second- or third-floor location, you’ll be

The Restaurant
- Chalkboard Restaurant serves seasonal small plates, like seared
dayboat scallops with English peas, carrots, melted onion, bacon, vanilla
oil and dill, as well as housemade bucatini with pepperoni, fava leaf, Meyer
lemon and pecorino.
- Many ingredients featured in the chef's dishes come from the
restaurant’s own 4.5-acre organic garden at nearby Chalk Hill Winery
estate. You might find fava beans, asparagus, greens, beets and
heirloom tomatoes fresh from the farm on your plate.
- Chalkboard keeps a relaxed, fun atmosphere. But it still veers upscale
with Carrera marble tables, gray wood in the bright, modern dining room. And
a stone patio with fire pits provides a cozy alternative.
- Don't miss pairing these dishes with a flight of local wines.
- If you want a break from the vino, we suggest the Monkeypod, a
tropical tipple made with rum, coconut, tamarind, cacao and lime.
