"Established more than a hundred years ago as a family estate, working horse ranch, and vineyard, the farmhouse refuge—with a black-and-white chevron-patterned ceiling installation by Joshua Tree–based woodworker Aleksandra Zee, a new Artist's Cottage, and an-on site Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, Layla—feels like a large private residence with individual dwellings, or 64 guest rooms, suites, and premium suites layered with sliding barn doors, mudcloth-style accent pillows, and club chairs. Select Premium suites feature outdoor showers, patios, and fireplaces. Lounge by the revamped outdoor pool or work up a sweat in the new fitness center with a pair of Peloton bikes. The brand new Spa at MacArthur, designed by Kes Studio (of L'Ermitage Beverly Hills), offers one-of-a-kind treatments including Sanctuary of Flowers, a 100-minute ritual combining an exfoliating body polish, full-body massage, and scalp treatment using wildflower essences concocted specifically for the spa by alchemist LotusWei." - Jennie Nunn

"Set on a historic 19th-century estate of lush gardens and century-old trees just a short walk to Sonoma's Plaza, MacArthur Place embodies the laid-back, relaxed feel of Sonoma. Each of the hotel's 64 rooms are individually designed and appointed with an elegant residential feel. Many of the rooms are suites offering fireplaces, porches, or balconies overlooking the gardens and original art from local Sonoma artists. The gardens are the real attraction on the six-acre estate, with a relaxing zen garden and a pool surrounded by stately magnolia trees. The Spa at MacArthur offers a variety of massages, facials, and body treatments all based on the herbs, flowers, and plants found in the gardens. Culinary offerings include Layla, with a Mediterranean-meets-Sonoma menu; the Bar at MacArthur; and The Porch coffee shop."

"Everything in Sonoma is absolutely gorgeous—you feel like you're in the South of France. I was reading about MacArthur Place, and I chose to stay here because the energy is so restorative. It almost feels like a home, in a sense, because you get your own house. It felt like the perfect getaway—I didn't see any of the other guests, I had my own patio, there's an outdoor shower."

This hotel has the best service I have had at a hotel in a long time. Every single person was friendly and helpful. My group was there during a horrible rainstorm and all the staff helped make it as low key as could be. They went out of their way in every way possible. The rooms were very nicely equipped. The restaurant burger night was delicious. Michael at the front desk and David the valet provided outstanding over the top service. I hope I get to return someday!

This was our 1st trip to the beautiful Sonoma. We stayed at Macarthur Hotel and Spa, this a stunning resort style accomodation. The rooms are a generous with a lovely bathroom, we also had an outdoor shower and bath. Amenities in the bathroom are a generous size and great quality. The gardens are immaculate, it feels like you on a resort away from the rest of the world. Has a gorgeous heated pool with enough lounge chairs, a hot spa, towels, sunblock and ice water. They have a spa and restaurant onsite. We did try and get a massage but unfortunately they were booked. If you do stay here, I would recommend booking in advance. Our rate included breakfast which was very convenient for us. The concierge recommended great dinner restaurants. We did dine at Layla one evening. We felt the vegetarian pasta could have been better. Overall it was one of the prettiest accomodation we have stayed at.

Lovely hotel with very well appointed and spacious rooms. Beautiful pool area and well appointed bar area. The front of house was disappointing and initial welcome poor with limited information about the hotel given out. Breakfast is expensive and the resort fee of $55 a surprise which was to cover a list of things you would expect to receive given the quality of this hotel.

I stop in occasionally for coffee, a meal, or an occasional gathering, and always have a nice experience. Had a lovely chat with Kevin out front when I arrived, and a good conversation with Marty inside as well. Rooms have always been pleasant, and common areas clean. Worth a stay and a meal when you’re in town!

Very nice location & property. Large room with nice amenities. However, for 5 star / very expensive property I would've expected near perfection, but there were a few things off:||1) Mattress needs to be replaced (worn/soft on edge where people usually sit causing a ridge in the middle of the right-side sleeping surface)||2) Only 1 soap dispenser for 2 sinks||3) Only 1 soap dispenser for 2 showers||4) Heating flooring in bathroom was not working correctly and only warmed near the middle of the floor||5) Mini-bar pricing was nearly impossible to find - and note on top stating "complimentary snacks" was confusing as it was only for the 3 small items on the cabinet (chips, cookies, jerky).||6) Was warned there were weddings planned in the courtyard outside our room, but it would not impact us. However, upon attempting to return to our room after a day out to shower in prep for dinner reservations, we were kept from entering our room as the wedding was being videoed and they didn't want us walking thru the background. Not a big deal, but almost made us late for our dinner reservations.||7) Aircon controls were near entry door (away from main room) which caused the main room to get very cold as the temp sensor was much warmer than the main room.

We were greeted at the front desk with a glass of wine by Michael who told us our room was ready. Each guest in our room finds a robe and slippers there. Our floor was on the second floor. If you don’t like steps, be sure to mention this when you book. If you do like to walk, you can walk to Sonoma Plaza. Just know that the streets are not well lit, so return before nightfall. We walked back only once in the dark and drove the other time we were to return in the dark. The sidewalks are not all even.|The physical grounds of the Macarthur have lovely art works scattered around as they have a visiting artist program. There are even works of art in the main building where the Lounge and Layla’s are located.|Michael, at the front desk, was very helpful with suggestions regarding food. One place we went to, Boon Fly Café, was closed due to a rolling blackout due to the red flag warnings. Maybe next time. We did have lunch at a pizza place suggested by Michael called Jacob’s Restaurant. It was good.|Debra, the concierge at MacArthur was also very helpful. We corresponded by email a few months before I got there. She suggested a few places to have dinner which allowed me to make reservations in them before they booked up.|On one day we returned to our room after 3:00pm so that we could get ready for a couples massage. The spa is located by the outdoor pool. We had dinner in their bar area as on that day they have Burgers and Bordeaux. We liked the wine they served so much; we went the next day to the winery that made it. |On the last night there we had a great meal at Layla’s, and we took the complimentary smores kits they offer. We used one of their fire pits. It was a great outdoor experience. |The only down part of the hotel stay was the room had high tech switches. The heat kept going off at night because of some sensor issue. We called Maintenance, but they could not fix it. We just bundled up our last night there.

Well appointed rooms with modern amenities and extremely comfortable bed and lavish pillows. They provided a stocked complimentary snacks and waters which pleasantly greeted my arrival. They have a great bar and restaurant. Hotel is small, boutique and charming.
