The Best Hotels in Mendocino for the Luxury Traveler

I have a post on the blog for The Most Charming B&B’s in California. It’s full of my recommendations for anyone in need of a peaceful and scenic getaway. However, there is a particularly special region that I wanted to explore in a little more detail. That region is Mendocino. Continue reading below to see my recommendations for the best hotels in Mendocino, and start planning your dream stay!

If you’re planning a visit to Mendocino this Summer, check out some of my packing essentials:

Blue Door Inn

The Blue Door Inn is definitely a Mendocino hotel worth booking a trip to. This stunning inn earned its spot on my list of the best hotels in Mendocino when I visited because of its fabulous accommodations and adorable oceanic decor. If you would like to read all about my lovely experience with this hotel, feel free to check out my blog post on the Blue Door Inn here!

Their rooms, food, and overall whimsical vibe make this destination a must-see.

Brewery Gulch Inn

I have had the privilege of visiting the Brewery Gulch Inn four times during the seven years that I lived in San Francisco. There is a reason this gem has both a spot on my list of the best hotels in Mendocino and a special place in my heart. Delicious dining, rejuvenating hikes, rustic decor, and impressive wines are all part of the Brewery Gulch experience. If you’re interested, there is much more information about this hidden treasure in my Brewery Gulch blog post here.

Glendeven Inn & Lodge

I could not make a post about the best hotels in Mendocino without including the Glendeven Inn & Lodge. Not only is it rated the best hotel in Mendocino on Trip Advisor, but it’s also adorned with stunning views, sweet treats, luscious gardens, and even lamas! Staying at the Glendeven Inn was such a treat. I share all the information about my time there in my Glendeven Inn blog post here. Be sure to check it out if you’re considering booking a trip soon.

High tea was served upon my arrival, and I couldn’t have felt happier or more welcome.

Yes! They really do have lamas.

The Inn at Newport Ranch

The Inn at Newport Ranch is one of the best hotels in Mendocino for numerous reasons. They have the most stunning views of the coast, an extremely attentive and detailed-oriented staff, and the coziest rooms. If you’d like to read about my stay at The Inn at Newport Ranch in more detail, please take a look at the exclusive blog post I did for them here!

They prepared me a delicious meal that I enjoyed fireside. I felt pampered in every aspect of my stay!

Breathtaking views surround the entire establishment. I could watch the waves crash for hours!

Little River Inn

The Little River Inn is about as classic as it gets. This hotel’s gorgeous victorian architecture perfectly captures the spirit of Mendocino and its location on the coast is unmatched! Not only do I have a blog post that goes into detail about my stay at The Little River Inn here but I also have a separate blog post dedicated to their restaurant. If you would like to read about the food, service, and dining experience I received at the Little River Inn Restaurant, refer to the blog post here!
