Montage Healdsburg

Montage Healdsburg

At Montage Healdsburg, every one of the 130 rooms sits on a single floor, so the walk from your balcony to the pool is a stroll through gardens and terraces rather than a lobby and an elevator. The hotel is four kilometers outside town, close enough to Simi Winery, Jordan Vineyard & Winery and the Healdsburg Ridge Open Space Preserve that mornings can start with a hike and afternoons end with a tasting. Two outdoor pools, a full spa with sauna, steam room and massage treatments, and a fitness center cover the between-times. Hazel Hill serves Californian cuisine, one of two restaurants on site, and there's a poolside bar for the hours when nobody wants a menu. Rooms carry minibars, flat-screen TVs, private balconies and deep soaking tubs; some, like the Deluxe Single Studio, run to 948 square feet with room to spread out. Families travelling with kids get a kids club and a children's pool; couples looking for quiet get archery and bike rental instead of crowds. Dogs are welcome for a 125 dollar deposit per stay, which matters if a Healdsburg trip usually means leaving the dog behind. What sets this property apart from the vineyard hotels stacked into three or four stories nearby is that single-floor layout, more like a resort campus than a hotel tower, so there's no waiting for elevators after a day of wine tasting. It suits travelers who want space and privacy over a central address, not those who want to walk out the door into downtown. The rooms range from standard queens to quadruples sleeping four adults and three children, so groups have options. Montage Healdsburg spreads 130 rooms across a single floor amid Sonoma County vineyards, four kilometers from town and close to Simi Winery and Jordan Vineyard. Two pools, a full spa and a Californian restaurant fill the days between wine visits, and dogs come along for a fee.
