Amid the sweeping landscapes of Sonoma Valley’s wine region, Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa sides on land treasured as sacred healing grounds due to the abundance of mineral hot springs. In 1895, the young Englishman Captain H.E. Boyes acquired the property and discovered the 112-degree waters while drilling a well. Five years later, the Boyes Hot Springs Hotel opened, inviting travelers to “take the waters” and experience the powers of these geothermal pools. Though destroyed in 1923, the Inn reopened to much acclaim in 1927. Today, this resort places guests in the heart of Sonoma’s wine country, with the Fairmont Spa, award-winning dining, and access to the exclusive Sonoma Golf Course.
