The Best Hotels Near Auro, by the Record
-
Heated floors in every bathroom is the kind of detail that makes a 15-room boutique hotel in Glen Ellen feel less like a weekend trip and more like borrowing a very well-appointed friend's house. Wraparound porches, oak shade, gas fireplaces in many rooms, and a low-key pool give it a residential quality that sits comfortably in the quieter, less-trafficked corner of Sonoma Valley. No restaurant, but the wineries are basically the backyard.

Winters has been quietly assembling the pieces of a wine-country destination, and this 78-room boutique hotel sits at the center of that project. The style is classic and unshowy, which is the right call for a small town trying not to oversell itself. A full-service spa and an Italian restaurant with wood-fired pizzas give you reasons to stay on property, while Yolo County tasting rooms are a short walk from the front door.
