MacArthur Place
Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.
Why Go
MacArthur Place is a luxury hotel with a spa and beautiful gardens in Sonoma, California. The hotel's gardens feature 100 species of trees, some of which were planted more than a century ago. Stroll through the orchard which has 12 different kinds of fruit trees, and view original sculptures and fountains that decorate the gardens.
No trip to Sonoma would be complete without a wine tasting and tour of at least one of the local wineries. There are many wineries just a short drive away and some offer shuttle rides to and from the Plaza. MacArthur Place is four blocks from Sonoma's historic plaza, home to fine restaurants and shops.
The Spa
The Garden Spa at MacArthur Place is the perfect compliment to the gardens that surround it. For guests who are on a romantic getaway or anyone who wants to indulge in a relaxing massage, the Garden Spa offers rejuvenating body treatments.
After a visit to the spa, relax in the outdoor whirlpool tub and lounge by the pool.

All of the 64 guest rooms, suites and cottages at MacArthur Place are individually designed and feature down comforters, walk-in showers, televisions, CD and DVD players, terry robes, and in-room house-blend coffee.
