MacArthur Place Hotel & Spa

Sonoma, CA

An award winning, historic Sonoma garden estate made for intimate gatherings, incentive escapes, and celebrations that linger long after the last glass is poured.

Tucked into six acres of gardens just moments from Sonoma Plaza, MacArthur Place invites groups to slow down, wander freely, dine beautifully, and experience Sonoma with the ease of a private estate.

The Rooms

69 luxurious guestrooms, suites, spa suites, and private cottages give each guest a quiet place to retreat. Many accommodations feature patios or balconies, fireplaces, outdoor showers, or soaking tubs – details that make a group stay feel individually considered rather than conventionally assigned.

Food & Drink

Dining is part of the estate rhythm. Layla brings seasonal, Mediterranean-inspired Sonoma dining to the heart of the property. The Bar at MacArthur sets the tone for cocktails, wine, and easy conversation before or after an evening in town. The Porch offers coffee, provisions, and relaxed moments between tastings, spa appointments, and garden walks.

The Spa at MacArthur

The Spa at MacArthur draws inspiration from the estate gardens, local herbs, and wine-country ingredients. For retreats, incentive groups, and celebration weekends, wellness becomes a meaningful pause – a quiet counterpoint to shared meals, tastings, meetings, and milestone moments.

Events

Over 8,000 sq. ft. of relaxed-elegant indoor and outdoor space sets the stage for gatherings that feel both effortless and deeply Sonoma. From garden welcome receptions and private dinners to leadership retreats, incentive leisure programs, intimate weddings, and milestone celebrations, MacArthur Place gives hosts room to shape the experience with natural estate flow.

The Grounds

Six acres of intimate gardens, winding flagstone paths, verdant archways, fire pits, hidden nooks, and lush tree canopies create a private estate designed for wandering and connection. Across gardens, lawns, terraces, and intimate interiors, each moment flows naturally from arrival cocktails to open-air dinners to firelit nightcaps — relaxed yet refined and unmistakably rooted in Sonoma wine country.

Meetings, Retreats & Social Events

MacArthur Place offers natural luxury within a historic garden estate in the heart of Sonoma, creating a refined setting for executive retreats, incentive gatherings, off-site meetings, and celebratory events in Northern California wine country. Set across six acres of intimate gardens, winding pathways, verdant courtyards, and outdoor gathering spaces, the estate features more than 8,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space — from contemporary meeting venues to beautifully landscaped garden settings. Each gathering unfolds with a sense of privacy, ease, and immersive Sonoma character rooted in the rhythm of the estate.

The historic Coach House features three elegant, well-appointed salons that can be combined to create 2,305 square feet of versatile gathering space within the estate gardens. At the heart of the garden estate sits a meticulously restored 150-year-old barn, home to two additional meeting spaces and Layla, the property’s signature restaurant. Surrounded by winding pathways, lush landscaping, and intimate outdoor gathering areas, each venue feels connected to the relaxed rhythm and natural beauty of Sonoma wine country.

Our event salons pair refined residential design with modern functionality, featuring elegant lighting, designer furnishings, and seamless technology tailored to each gathering. Beyond the interiors, the garden-estate unfolds into verdant lawns, sunlit terraces, and intimate outdoor settings ideal for welcome receptions, breakout moments, and evening celebrations beneath the trees. Guests can transition effortlessly from meetings and conversations to seasonal dining experiences at Layla or cocktails at The Bar, with curated banquet menus ranging from elevated coffee service to multi-course dinners and wine country receptions.
