2024 Official Healdsburg Lodging Guide: Top Healdsburg Hotels, Inns and Bed and Breakfasts
As the unofficial capital of wining and dining in Sonoma Wine Country, Healdsburg is the city most visitors choose as a home base to stay during a wine tasting vacation. This charming, culinary-centric town boasts a variety of different lodging options. The best hotels in Healdsburg are included in our 2023 Healdsburg Lodging Guide, which features all the amenities and average prices for Healdsburg hotels, bed and breakfasts and inns on one convenient sheet to help you make decisions on where to stay in Healdsburg. Most of these accommodations are intimate—smaller properties with personalized touches and exceptional attention to detail. All properties offer complimentary wifi and many include breakfast as well. Two-night minimum stays are often required during peak season, so it pays to book in advance.
Three new hotels made this year’s list (two are renovations under new management); Healdsburg hotels are now organized by three price tiers with dollar signs (under $250 per night, under $499, under $999 and above $1,000). Prices are high-season, weekend rates—the highest travelers can expect to spend—so keep in mind that high-season weekday rates can be half that price, and winter rates even lower. There are honestly no “budget” accommodations in Healdsburg that we’d recommend—unless you’d like to go glamping. Two-star accommodations, such as the two motels on the outskirts of town, are also excluded.
There are also several vacation rentals in Healdsburg, from picturesque wine country cottages to luxurious estates on Airbnb and VRBO, but we limit this guide to multi-unit lodging businesses—hotels, inns, B&Bs and cottage collections—with more than two rooms. If you’d like to be as close as possible to Healdsburg and are traveling on a budget, the Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn and WorldMark by Wyndham are located in the nearby town of Windsor.
Stay tuned for annual Healdsburg Lodging Guide updates featuring the best places to stay in Healdsburg.

$$ “Budget” Healdsburg Lodging (under $249 per night)
Dry Creek Inn
Located right off Highway 101 at Dry Creek Road, the Mediterranean-inspired Best Western Dry Creek Inn underwent a transformation during the pandemic, so it’s worth revisiting. Its 60-room Villa Toscana was renovated, rebranded and reopened as The Lodge at Healdsburg (see separate listing). Now, the Dry Creek Inn offers a budget-friendly and pet-friendly hotel option with convenient access to Healdsburg’s three wine regions. Its 103 spacious rooms were remodeled recently and boast contemporary style and beautiful vineyard artwork. Amenities include a heated pool, 24-hour gourmet coffee service in the lobby, a redesigned meeting space for up to 12 people, electric car charging stations, free parking and more. When hunger strikes, Adel’s restaurant is located next door (open 24 hours; breakfast package available through hotel), but Dry Creek Inn is a one-mile walk down a paved pathway to many restaurants around Healdsburg Plaza. High-season weekend rates start at $240 per night.
$$$ Mid-Range Healdsburg Lodging ($250 – $499 per night)
Bella Luna Inn
Located in the heart of downtown Healdsburg, Bella Luna is usually booked solid for months in advance, but it’s worth a try to check availability. The historic property has just four accommodations–three suites and one cottage–and was originally built in the early 1900s. The owners, a couple who purchased the property in 2010, love hosting guests personally. Guests receive a gift card to enjoy breakfast at the beloved Costeaux French Bakery downtown; complimentary Nespresso coffee and Tazo teas are available at the inn’s guest bar. High-season weekend rates start at $425 per night.
Bella Villa Messina
Towering over the reservoir on the Simi Winery property, this Healdsburg bed and breakfast recreates an Italian-countryside vibe from its hilltop on a residential cul-de-sac. Inside, each of the five rooms is decorated with old-world flair. If you like to take a step back in time, this is the inn for you. The innkeeper is known for cooking a delicious hot breakfast daily; the evening cocktail hour is also a nice touch. High-season weekend rates start at $345 per night.
Belle de Jour Inn
Everything revolves around the gardens at this circa-1873 farmhouse in the country outside of Healdsburg. A new family took over the inn from its long-time owners in 2022, and they plan to continue the tradition of a five-star experience. Complimentary breakfast features yogurt, pastries, an egg dish and plenty of fruits, freshly picked on-site, or guests can opt for breakfast downtown at Costeaux French Bakery. Located two miles north of downtown Healdsburg, the inn features four cottage suites and one larger accommodation (700 square feet), all decorated in vintage European country flair. The property has also been certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat, so make time in your schedule to treat your senses and your spirit to a leisurely walk through their expansive grounds. High-season weekend rates start at $345 per night.
Calderwood Inn
Owned by the Wilson wine family, this Queen Anne Victorian home dates back to 1902 and features a mix of vintage decor rooms and more contemporary remodeled lodging options. The property has a lush garden and is surrounded by trees, making it feel very secluded even though you are in the Healdsburg city limits and only a half-mile walk from the Plaza. The Healdsburg inn has 10 rooms, and offers a hot, gourmet breakfast and a bottle of wine at check-in. TripAdvisor reviewers mention wine and appetizers sometimes served in the main parlor room. High-season weekend rates start at $339 per night.
Camellia Inn
This circa-1869, salmon-colored Italianate Victorian is named after the more than 50 camellia plants that accent its gardens. The inn offers nine rooms in the main house, as well as five vacation rentals nearby. All guests have access to the on-site pool and on-site spa services, as well as a full and hearty breakfast and an evening wine-and-cheese hour in the parlor. Also owned by Ken and Diane Wilson, owners of Wilson Artisan Wineries, since 2021. High-season weekend rates start at $365 per night.
Grape Leaf Inn
The signature experience at this circa-1900 Queen Anne Victorian inn is a downstairs speakeasy where guests can taste local wines every afternoon. The three-course breakfasts are pretty memorable, too. The property is located a half-mile from the Healdsburg Plaza, in a part of town formerly known as Nob Hill. Also part of the Wilson Artisan Wineries portfolio. High-season weekend rates start at $399 per night.
Healdsburg Inn on the Plaza
This 12-room inn comprises the top floors of a circa-1901 building right on the Healdsburg Plaza. In summer, you can hear Tuesday night concerts from anywhere on property. A breakfast buffet and evening wine and cheese reception are served in a private function room overlooking town. (Don’t miss the morning enchiladas and strata casserole.) The rooms feature high ceilings, bay windows or balconies, crown molding and other architectural details of the historic building—including claw-foot tubs in several bathrooms. High-season weekend rates start at $372 per night.
Hotel Trio
This modern 122-room property features all suites and is located a few miles north of downtown Healdsburg, just a short walk or bike ride from the first wineries along the Dry Creek Valley wine trail. Each king, queen or one-bedroom suite features a full, modern kitchen and a living room with sofa, television and desk. One room on the ground floor has two tremendous bunk beds and can comfortably sleep eight. Hot breakfast is included; there’s a wine and beer bar, a grab-and-go market with local gourmet foods, a complimentary welcome bottle of wine, gratis bikes and a shuttle service to downtown. There’s even a bocce ball court (with balls that light up at night!) and a robot named Rosé that delivers amenities. High-season weekend rates start around $450
The Lodge at Healdsburg
Healdsburg’s newest boutique hotel, The Lodge at Healdsburg is located in the former Villa Toscana building at Dry Creek Inn. The 60-room property was extensively renovated (before, during and after the pandemic), and it reopened in December 2022 under the Tapestry Collection by Hilton brand. The new design blends Tuscan and Sonoma countryside style with several outdoor spaces for gathering and relaxing: a courtyard fire pit, open-air lounges, a heated pool, two hot tubs, and steam and sauna rooms. The spacious rooms have been upgraded with fireplaces, soaking tubs, a balcony or patio, 55-inch televisions and other pampering touches. Guests can refuel at Alexander’s Café & Bar (open for breakfast and evening bites) and use the property’s electric car chargers. Pets are welcome for an additional fee, and there are meeting, conference and event spaces. They don’t offer room service, but who needs it when some of the best restaurants in California are one mile away in downtown Healdsburg? There’s also a pathway to Healdsburg Plaza if you want to walk off that Michelin-star meal. (Their new website booking engine sometimes throws errors for Google Chrome users, so visit Hilton.com if you have issues.) High-season weekend rates start at $363.
Two Thirty-Five Luxury Suites
Next door to Harmon Guest House, there’s an unassuming building with a tasting room downstairs and luxe vacation-rental apartments upstairs. These apartments are known as the Two Thirty-Five Luxury Suites. There are four suites in total, each with three bedrooms and three bathrooms—all sleek and modern with full kitchens and laundry facilities. Some even have decks. What makes the Two Thirty-Five experience particularly special is the attention to detail: Flower arrangements change every day and are grown and curated by a farmer who works for the parent company, hand soaps are made locally, and paintings by local artists grace the walls. These rooms are perfect for families traveling with young children or couples traveling together. They also have an electric car charging station. High-season weekend rates start around $1,379 per night for three rooms (about $459 per room).
$$$$ Luxury Healdsburg Lodging ($500 – $999 per night)
The Cottages at Healdsburg
Tucked away on a quiet street just one block off Healdsburg Avenue, The Cottages at Healdsburg is a secluded compound with four modern-farm, stand-alone suites—all impeccably decorated by owner/designer Janelle Loevner, the founder of Anthem Design Group in San Francisco. Each cottage features a charming porch, vaulted ceilings and soothing-white furnishings; coffee service is provided even though Little Saint and Costeaux French Bakery are steps away. There are also onsite parking spaces and bikes for cruising around town, but when you’re less than two blocks from Healdsburg Plaza, who needs wheels? History tidbit: The Cottages at Healdsburg were born about 20 years ago when the Duchamp hotel owners decided to sell four of their recently constructed cottages and focus on the six suites around their pool. High-season rates are $560 per night on weekends ($330 per night weekdays).
H2 Hotel
Eco-friendly H2 prides itself on an approachable vibe—somewhere between Bohemian and European. All of the 36 rooms in this Healdsburg hotel are sleek but not sparingly so; the lobby, which opens to Spoonbar restaurant, is warm and welcoming. Guests enjoy a small lap pool out back, as well as regular yoga classes. An undulating living roof also is something worth seeing. High-season weekend rates start around $549 per night.
Harmon Guest House
Without question, the rooftop bar and terrace is the coolest part of Healdsburg’s newest downtown hotel, which opened in late 2018. “The Rooftop,” as it’s known, is best in warm weather, when you can eat light bites and sip craft cocktails while looking down on the hubbub around town. The 39-room Healdsburg hotel was named after the town’s founder, Harmon Heald, and was designed to create an intimate experience for guests. The private Creekside deck is a particularly great spot to unwind. Rooms boast a variety of locally made products, from Sipsong Spirits gin to pillows and blankets from Treko. The top floor was designed with inspiring art and natural light for meetings and events. The hallways and stairwells act as an impromptu gallery exhibition for art lovers. The HGH is connected via private walkway to the H2 Hotel, its sister property. High-season weekend rates start at $649 per night.
Hotel Healdsburg
This stylish downtown Healdsburg hotel took the first big step in Healdsburg’s transformation from sleepy farm town to world-class destination when it opened two decades ago. Situated on the west side of Healdsburg Plaza, the hotel’s 56 rooms are tranquil and luxuriously modern, designed with subtle green tones that bring the outdoors in. Airy, bright courtyards and passageways exist on all three floors, and the entire property was closed for improvements until March 2023. Hotel Healdsburg will also debut a full renovation and expansion of its casual Italian restaurant, Pizzando, in spring of 2023, which will reopen with an expanded menu, cocktail program and permanent parklet for outdoor dining. The property also includes a full-service spa, connected to a hip, exclusive pool with hot tub; a popular lobby bar with fireside seating and live music on select days; complimentary continental breakfast; house cruiser bicycles for exploring downtown; and Charlie Palmer’s first restaurant in the region, Dry Creek Kitchen. High-season weekend rates start around $749 per night.
Hotel Les Mars
A member of Relais & Chateaux, this downtown Healdsburg hotel atop Chalkboard Restaurant captures French style and delivers it with elegance. Its 16 rooms are accented with 17th and 18th-century antiques, guests receive complimentary breakfast and wine-and-cheese tastings, and the walnut-paneled library is a great spot to unwind with a juicy book. High-season weekend rates start at $899 per night.
The Madrona
Built in 1881, this Victorian mansion channeled a bygone era for decades with its television-less rooms, vintage décor and formal restaurant in the main house. In 2021, the property was purchased by respected San Francisco interior designer Jay Jeffers, along with investors, and the transformation is nothing short of magic. Now known as The Madrona, the boutique hotel and restaurant reopened in 2022 with Architectural Digest-worthy details throughout the lobby, gathering areas, patios, dining rooms and guest rooms. The 24-room property is dotted with enchanting gardens and lawns; luxurious accommodations span the grounds, from The Mansion and Carriage House to The Bungalows hidden along the edges of the eight-acre oasis. Daily breakfast by their chef is included, and there’s also a heated lounge pool, fitness studio, exclusive guest-only lounge space, electric car chargers, Van Moof electric bikes, complimentary car services within five miles and more. As the art collage on the stairway hints, The Madrona is also pet-friendly. The Madrona is a place to get lost in the enchantment of it all—the gardens, art, design, food, wine and the cocktails. Even if you don’t stay here, book a reservation at the restaurant, or try to score a seat at the bar. Pro tip: Use the car service to go to town; there are no sidewalks on busy Westside Road. High-season weekend rates start at $975 per night.
River Belle Inn
While most visitors staying overnight in Healdsburg usually enjoy views of the city and sometimes a vineyard, River Belle Inn is one of the few Healdsburg inns located right on the historic Russian River that snakes around the backside of town. The 12-room Victorian was fully restored from 2011 to 2016, including a significant addition to accommodate the rooms, which maintain the vintage Victorian style and charm. Guests can enjoy a hot breakfast in the dining room or on the patio, overlooking the river–depending on the weather. No pets or children under 16 are allowed, due to the direct waterfront access. In October 2022, the management company behind Three Michelin Star SingleThread announced the purchase of River Belle Inn to expand their portfolio. According to reports, they have no plans to make significant changes. High-season weekend rates start around $500 per night.
The Ruse
Built in 1883, the historic Honor Mansion was sold in 2020, and after almost two years of renovations, it reopened in December 2022 as The Ruse. The new owners are the forces behind The Matheson and members-only Maycamas Golf Club, so their vision is for a new kind of private club-style hospitality in Healdsburg. Seven suites inside the mansion have been impeccably remodeled with luxurious California wine country style, and four Greenside suites feature mid-century modern details. The expansive property includes a spa, heated pool, hot tub, bocce ball court, a putting green called “The Corkscrew,” many alfresco lounge areas and more. It’s a short walk down Grove Street to downtown Healdsburg. The Ruse hopes to add restaurant and bar in the future, pending permits and NIMBY opposition. High-season weekend rates start at $845 per night.
$$$$$ Ultra-Luxury Healdsburg Lodging (above $1,000 per night)
Duchamp
Think of Duchamp like a secret enclave; a klatch of six luxury standalone cottage suites, tucked away behind Little Saint, steps from the Healdsburg Plaza. Bungalow suites were designed in a modern, European chic style; hotel grounds feature a lap pool, a spa, ample private parking and various pieces of modern art. The property is very quiet despite being in town, and groups and families often book the entire property for getaways and events, especially those hosted in Duchamp’s outdoor garden, The Grove. It’s a truly unique Healdsburg lodging experience, curated by the owners, locals Mark and Marie Luzaich and Tom Nelson. Complimentary breakfast and Wi-Fi included with every stay. Travel tip: When adding Duchamp into Google Maps, make sure you choose Duchamp hotel downtown, not Duchamp Winery north of Healdsburg. High-season weekend rates start at $1,295 per night.
Montage Healdsburg
Named one of the most anticipated hotel openings of 2020 by Elite Traveler, the Montage is Healdsburg’s first resort—and it’s been drawing rave reviews and celebrity sightings since its opening. Located a few miles north of downtown Healdsburg, the resort is nestled into the rolling hills and borders one of the best Healdsburg wineries: Jordan. Golf carts whisk guests around to the 130 bungalow-style rooms and suites, tucked into the woodlands, each with outdoor living spaces, fire pits, modern California design details and views that will bring nature lovers to tears. There’s a luxe spa, a zero-edge pool for adults and a family pool (both with cabanas), a large gym, conference spaces and meeting areas, poolside dining with Hudson Springs, a coffee shop, fine dining at Hazel Hill restaurant, e-bikes, expert-led archery lessons, pickleball and bocce, on-site apiary, and some of the best views in Sonoma County from the lobby, restaurant and bar. Scout Field Bar’s spring 2023 reopening after winter renovation is a must-add to your Healdsburg travel itinerary. High-season weekend rates start at $1,500 per night.
SingleThread Inn
Staying in one of the five Japan-inspired rooms atop the Michelin-starred SingleThread restaurant is a lot like staying in the owners’ home. Chef Kyle Connaughton prepares breakfast for every guest; his wife, Katina, curates all of the amenities and touches in the rooms. The result is a bespoke Healdsburg lodging experience at the far reaches of luxury and comfort. High-season weekend rates start around $1,800 per night.
Hi Mitzi,
If memory serves, our researcher called and asked if he could include you and someone told him you weren’t ready for media yet. We are happy to include you in the 2020 edition, coming out in March. Can you email me your press kit? Lmattson@jordanwinery.com
Thanks,
Lisa
Just wondering why the River Belle Inn isn’t included.
