I recently had the pleasure of staying at the luxurious MacArthur Place Hotel and Spa in Sonoma, a stunning destination perfect for a relaxing getaway. Sonoma, with its beautiful landscapes, excellent wineries, and fantastic dining options, downtown Sonoma has long been one of my favorite staycation spots. Join me on my blog as I share why MacArthur Place Hotel & Spa is the ideal choice for your next visit.
And don’t forget as a FORA Pro Advisor I would be happy to help book your next stay there. Please reach out to me at Emily.Martin@FORA.Travel and let’s plan your MacArthur Place visit!
MacArthur Place Hotel
This luxurious hotel recently renovated with over a $30 Million renovation combines modern elegance with an upscale wine country vibe offering guests an unforgettable experience in Sonoma County. With its beautifully landscaped gardens, world-class spa, stunning new pool, and exquisite dining options, MacArthur Place provides the perfect setting for relaxation and indulgence. Whether you’re exploring local wineries, enjoying gourmet meals, or simply unwinding in the serene ambiance, MacArthur Place promises a memorable stay in one of Sonoma’s most picturesque locations.
As soon as you step on the grounds and into their lobby for check in you are invited to a special experience.
I was greeted with this lovely display when entering my room upon arrival.
Our room had a stunning private back patio with an outdoor shower, 2 chairs and a lovely relaxation area. This room is perfect if you’re visiting with a pet so you can just open the patio doors to let them out vs. have to leave the room early in the morning or the evening to walk them.
What’s even better? I got to bring along my lovely Ernestine with me and she got a welcome gift too! MacArthur Place Hotel & Spa truly knows how to make everyone feel welcomed. For an additional $150 the dogs get a comfy dog bed, two bowls, treats, and a toy.

Luxurious Spa and Things to Do
MacArthur Place Hotel & Spa offer many amenities designed to enhance every guest’s experience. The hotel features a luxurious spa offering a range of rejuvenating treatments and wellness services. Guests can relax by the outdoor pool or explore the tranquil grounds.
I take any chance I get to check out a spa I haven’t tried and this one was incredible. I highly recommend making an appointment here while visiting so you can make the most of your stay. I enjoyed a Hot Stone Massage by Rachel who was fabulous.

You can take a bike ride on fun electric bikes, enjoy the fresh air out by a fire pit with a glass of wine, and head to the gym while visiting.
The pool area of course is another one of the big highlights of this resort. You can really experience ultimate relaxation while getting a tan or enjoying one of their cabanas with food and a drink.
Cheers to soaking up the summer sun at the stunning MacArthur Place. If you can’t make it for an over night stay I’d recommend a Spa Day or book a Resort Pass for a day at the pool.
Dining at The MacArthur Place Hotel & Spa
This resort offers an exceptional dining experience with its acclaimed restaurant, Layla. You can also find some really great cocktails at the MacArthur Bar or delicious lattes at The Porch.
Make sure you check out the chef’s garden while you’re here since so much of what you eat here is grown on property!
Known for its farm-to-table cuisine, Layla showcases seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms and purveyors, ensuring fresh and flavorful dishes that highlight the best of Sonoma’s culinary offerings. The restaurant’s elegant yet relaxed atmosphere provides the perfect setting for enjoying meals crafted with passion and creativity.
Layla Restaurant
We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Layla Dining under the stars, literally. The service was wonderful, setting lovely and the food just as amazing.
What a fantastic stay that I cannot wait to return to! Be sure to tag me on Instagram if you make your way to this incredibly luxurious hotel.
