Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa sits in Sonoma Valley, at the heart of California wine country. The property is located on land surrounding Boyes Hot Springs, an area of naturally occurring underground hot mineral waters. This region was historically considered sacred by Native Americans and saw its first commercial development in 1840 when Dr. T.M. Leavenworth began operations. In 1895, Captain H. E. Boyes drilled and discovered 112-degree water at a depth of 70 feet, establishing the foundation for thermal resort development. The resort itself is situated on the 360-acre Bigelow Ranch, surrounded by towering sycamore and eucalyptus trees.
The hotel offers several room categories. Fairmont rooms are located in the historic Mission building and feature Provence-inspired decor capturing casual wine country living. Deluxe rooms provide larger spaces with modern sophistication, available with either a King bed or two Queen beds. Many rooms feature fireplaces and private balconies or patios. For guests needing extra space, the property offers rooms with sofabeds, Vineyard Suites with exclusive patios, and Mission Spa Suites with open floor plans. Accessible rooms compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act are available throughout the property.
The resort's defining feature is its geothermal mineral pools, fed by naturally occurring hot springs beneath the property. The Spa at Sonoma Mission Inn opened in October 1981 and offers wellness experiences centered on these thermal waters. The hotel features the Sonoma Mission Inn Golf Course and Country Club, a golf course added to the property in July 1928. Additional facilities include a wellness center and pet-friendly accommodations.
The property opened in August 1927 as the Boyes Hot Springs Hotel, designed by architect Joseph L. Stewart and developed by Fred Partridge and Rudolph Lichtenberg. The hotel was renamed Sonoma Mission Inn in February 1928. The golf course and country club were added in July 1928. During World War II, the property was leased by the Navy to serve as a rest center for sailors and marines returning from Pacific theater combat. The property became part of Fairmont Hotels and Resorts in 2002 when Fairmont took over management and rebranding.
