"A Victorian mansion in the California wine country is now the Madrona, an uncompromising hotel that owes its brash design to the rebellious Aesthetic Movement. The Madrona is part of the MICHELIN Guide hotel selection, chosen for its extraordinary style, service, and personality. The hotel comprises the mansion, a carriage house, and a group of standalone bungalows, all filled with throwback romance and modern comforts. Located just 90 minutes north of San Francisco, it stands on eight acres of a farm founded in 1862. The Madrona restaurant and bar on site sources the freshest ingredients for hearty, seasonal fare and the bar prides itself on its inventive cocktails. The half-acre gardens implement regenerative farming techniques to promote biodiversity. For those who want the glitz of Healdsburg with the serenity of a farm, this is a wine-country jewel." - Mitchell Friedman
