First celebrated by Condé Nast Traveler in 2003 as one of the “100 Hottest New Hotels Around the Globe,” the Ledson Hotel — a luxurious six-room jewel nestled on Sonoma’s historic plaza — once again claims its place among the world’s finest. 

More than 20 years later, this intimate retreat has earned a coveted spot on Condé Nast Traveler’s prestigious list of the “9 Best Hotels in Sonoma, California for Wine Tasting and Wellness Getaways.”

A masterwork of craftsmanship and vision, the Ledson Hotel was conceived and meticulously constructed by fifth-generation Sonoma vintner and farmer Steve Ledson. Blending the stately elegance of a bygone era with refined modern comforts, each of the six uniquely appointed guestrooms is a sanctuary of quiet luxury. With soaring ceilings, antique furnishings, private balconies, soaking tubs, and in-room fireplaces, the hotel’s character is as timeless as it is exclusive — a destination for travelers who shape the world.

“We are honored and humbled to be featured among such esteemed company by Condé Nast Traveler,” said Steve Ledson. “But above all, we are grateful for our exceptional team and their unwavering dedication to crafting a memorable experience for each guest who walks through our doors.”

A perennial favorite on Tripadvisor, the Ledson Hotel offers direct access to Sonoma’s charming array of fine dining, boutique shopping, and storied wine tasting rooms, all within walking distance.

Wine Tasting Salon

Guests of the hotel are also invited to indulge in curated tastings at the Zina Lounge, an elegant wine salon within the hotel. Featuring limited-production, award-winning wines from Zina Hyde Cunningham, Ledson Winery & Vineyards, and Mountain Terraces Winery, the lounge offers an immersive tasting experience in an atmosphere of refined hospitality.

Tasting options include five wines for $55, three for $35, or selections by the glass, with a curated cheese and charcuterie board available for $18. Tastings are offered daily from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; reservations are strongly recommended, call 707-996-9779 or email reservations@ledsonhotel.com.

The Zina Lounge, added in 2015, showcases the Ledson family’s celebrated portfolio of wines, offering visitors a serene and sophisticated tasting experience.
