This charming boutique hotel is one of our favorites! We are frequent visitors! The rooms are large and super cozy with the fireplace, plush robes, and comfortable bed + linens. We love the courtyard setting with heated pool, hot tub, fire pit and garden setting. It all feels very European. The spa is small but lovely (be sure to book in advance of your visit). The location is amazing and in close proximity to Sonoma Square with lots of shops and restaurants/bars, not to mention being surrounded by some amazing wineries. Kenwood Inn is so relaxing for a couple's getaway and does not disappoint. Great spot for a "girls weekend" too!
We stayed at the Kenwood for my wife's 40th birthday celebration. The staff was absolutely incredible. They made every effort to make our stay perfect. I cannot say enough about how helpful everyone was from top to bottom. The Inn is immaculate and, honestly, the photographs on the internet just do not do it justice. This is one of those rare occasions where you get way more than you anticipated in terms of the look, feel and comfort of the property. That is not to say that the pictures are not impressive. They are. However, the actual property is just bigger, more beautiful and well maintained than I could have ever imagined. The Inn was at capacity while we were there, yet it felt like it was at 15% capacity. There were no crowds, no waiting for anything, just peaceful people enjoying the property with us. The Inn is very close in proximity to a number of great vineyards and restaurants. We ate at Salt and Stone just up the street and it was amazing! We also did a tasting at Annadale Estate Winery (less than 3 miles away) and it was mind blowing! B.Wise's tasting room is also just a hop and a skip away. There was a nearby pub that was great and several in our group had a great meal at the Glenn Ellen Star (also nearby). There is ample parking, EV charging available, and many nearby trails to walk on. This is a very special place. It reminds me of the Old Edwards Inn over in Highlands, NC. If you've been there, then you will know what to expect. Just over the top. I cannot say enough good things. Feel free to email or message me for more information!…
A little disappointed to say the least. While the grounds are beautiful and give you that old world experience, the rooms definitely need to be updated. The bed is good, linens nice but the attention to detail sorely lacking. Our experience could have been so much more in our Suite. Rugs, throw pillows, a bottle of wine with glasses, an orchid! When you walk into a room as cold as a tomb you expect more for your money. Bathroom is dated and has a jacuzzi tub which is so unhygienic and dated. Floors are freezing! I don’t mean to sound like a hotel snob but guests want that experience, especially when you pay the price for it. Checkout photo of tub below, I won’t be getting in that.
My husband took me to Kenwood Inn and Spa for my birthday. The staff made us feel welcomed throughout our visit. Our room was amazing - romantic, quiet, and cozy - everything to unwind and enjoy the weekend. The staff recommended several local restaurants and the two we visited were both outstanding. Kenwood was a great place to spend my birthday and I look forward to our next visit.
This trip was for my wife’s 60th birthday. I chose the most expensive suite based on its falsely advertised description as the most luxurious room in the Inn. When we entered what we were greeted with was far from that expectation: a child’s art project chandelier, shabby couch, pictures hung at the ceiling, wobbly cabinet and a TV positioned in front of the door, nowhere near a seating area. We walked into the second room to more of the same. A modern tub and nicely pressed sheets being in contrast to the shabbiness. The bed was pressed against the back wall with no headboard and the pillows against the cold window curtain and trim. There was also no TV in the sleeping area despite having a huge open wall and tons of empty space. During the day the room is very dark and opening blinds in the sleeping area reveals a less than desirable view to the work area. The shower had a broken handle and lime deposits on the shower head. I texted to have that fixed and they did send someone to try to fix it but had to patch it with a clamp until they got parts. The daily cookie service after our first night was hidden behind reception and available only when we asked. The cookies were good but the breakfast food was not. I texted several times asking to change rooms but was told there were no available rooms. However, during our stay I saw several smaller king sized rooms that were not occupied.…
My wife and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. We booked and prepaid for three nights but checked out after two. Every aspect of this hotel was sub-standard . Rooms require radical upgrading and the facility generally needs immediate renovation to bring it to 4*!standard. The breakfast was pathetic at best , served in a room with barely space for guests to sit or eat in a modicum of comfort. Worst Halloween Nightmare ever Cornelius
Charming and romantic Glen Ellen stay in wine country. The grounds of kenwood inn are delightful and sweet. It was chilly for the pool but it’s a great setup and they also have a huge hot tub area. Wine tasting included and breakfast buffet was good. Room were simple but sweet. Could use a slight update of bathroom but overall a wonderful experience. Definitely get dinner at Glen Ellen star if you can-reserve in advance.
It was amazing, if you're thinking about staying here, do it. Felt like a tuscan villa and the garden king with the balcony was worth every penny. Pool was great, fire place in the room was very romantic and the breakfast was very nice. Although it is pricey (as with most places in this area) would love to make it back again.
We just returned from a glorious trip to Sonoma and spent four nights at the beautiful Kenwood Inn and Spa. The inn is absolutely gorgeous with stunning gardens, pools and luxurious accommodations. With less than 40 suites, it is intimate, quiet, charming and very romantic. The concierge, Sebastian, helped us plan our entire stay and all of his recommendations were top notch. Take advantage of everything the Inn has to offer because it is all fabulous- the Saturday night pop-up dinner, the private on-site wine tasting, the spa (one of the best massages of my life) and the delicious food and beverage. We had our amazing breakfast delivered to our suite each morning, usually with the bottle of sparking wine and carafe of fresh squeezed orange juice add-on (for only $25 I might add). Nestled in a private setting with a lush landscape, we felt like we were in Italy. We highly recommend to others and will definitely be back ourselves!…
I visited Kenwood Inn in order to visit with my college aged daughter and visit my family. As a solo female traveler, my stay was wonderful. I stayed in a garden room with a balcony - lovely!! The grounds are fantastic - I felt transported to the Mediterranean. The staff was accommodating and friendly. The main jacuzzi was not functioning which was a bit of a disappointment. There was no note on the website about this. But I swam in the main pool and visited the warming pool - both were great! I rented the private pool retreat for myself and my daughter one day. It is pricey to just rent a room, but we loved having an air conditioned room right off the pool with a fireplace, spa robes, and a stocked refrigerator. We both felt very relaxed and it was a great treat. We easily called for service from the pool phone. The charcuterie plate included with the price was wonderful. The “premium” sparkling wine was their $30 house brand which retails for $10. You might want to ask if you can upgrade. The hotel should rope off the doors opening to the pool though as we did have random guests wander in on us several times. My only complaint was the food. I can’t say that breakfast, or the veggie sandwich I ordered, or the hummus plate were great. They were all mediocre bordering on inedible. It isn’t that hard to make good tasting food. I’m a bit baffled why they don’t put it in the effort. Maybe they attract people on the offer of a free breakfast? Perhaps they should charge and improve the quality instead. Assuming you have a car, try Salt and Stone for dinner - it’s excellent and about a minute away. Drive into town and hit one of the bakeries. Overall though I would definitely stay here again!! I’ll just eat elsewhere.…
