Autumn 2019

25 Aug19154 A short hour drive north of bustling San Francisco is the crown jewel of the historic Sonoma Plaza; the Ledson Hotel. Inviting guests to step back in time to an era of grandeur, this luxury hotel is home to six individually-decorated guestrooms that ooze class and extravagance. Discover why this is the most luxurious historic hotel in Sonoma Valley as we explore. Combining antique grandeur and modern amenities with subtlety, personalised and efficient service, the unique Ledson Hotel is one of the most distinguished addresses in California. Situated near the beautiful wine valleys of Sonoma and Napa, this historic hotel is the perfect place to relax, unwind and explore everything that California has to offer. Furnished with traditional splendour and the comfort of contemporary facilities, each of the six available rooms reflect a different personality in almost four hundred square feet of luxury. Amenities include bathrobes, concierge services, a fireplace, hairdryer, free WiFi, iron and ironing board, luggage assistance, television, and whirlpool tub, all for guests to use at no extra cost to their stay. Each of the six rooms is named after a member of the Steve Ledson’s family and reflects aspects of their personality. William Cunningham’s room for example is dramatic and handsome, much like the high school photo of him hanging on the wall next to the door. Proudly boasting stately blue and gold colours, William’s room is given the homely feel California’s Crown Jewel – Historic Hotel is a Haven of Luxury with a granite bathtub for two in the bedroom, cosy fireplace, and ornate dark walnut wooden floors. However, in stark contrast, Noble’s room includes exposed wooden beams and earth colours as a nod to the man’s love of the outdoors, and Whitby’s room has warm shades of green sea foam and celadon paired with gold to maximise relaxation. Leaning heavily into the family that inspired the hotel, every room is filled with culture and tones that tell a story. The service at Ledson Hotel is personal and prompt, paying great attention to the finest of details that await every guest. For those with special requirements, the staff make every effort to ensure that guests are accommodated for entirely. At the hotel’s Zina Lounge guests wrap up their day and sip on a cocktail or savour some delicacies perfectly paired with meticulously handcrafted and award-winning wines from Zina Hyde Cunningham, Ledson, and Mountain Terraces wineries while watching the sunset from the sidewalk seating or relaxing by the fireplace. A recent addition to the Zina Lounge is the option for light bites, with tantalising delicacies such as Charred Steak Kabob, house-made Bresaola, and local strawberry salad, and many more. Ultimately, what makes Ledson Hotel a success is the luxury that it offers guests, welcoming them into the history of the family. Expertly blending deluxe furniture, a grand atmosphere, and modern amenities, this historical haven is not to be missed. Company: Ledson Hotel Contact: Elke Wolff Website: https://ledsonhotel.com/
