Retro resort with live music, DJs, and festive holiday events
"A retro resort built in 1952 that, after a major renovation, is enjoying a second heyday. The property hosts drag brunches on the first Sunday of every month, weekly summer pool parties with live music and DJs like Avi Snow and Mark Farina, October Halloween parties, and in December the entire property is transformed into a retro-tiki holiday wonderland including “Santa Suites” (described as a seriously festive lodging option)." - Marisa Churchill
"I can catch a much longer pop‑up at the Flamingo Resort in Santa Rosa as part of Turntable’s touring residencies (Friday, Feb. 16 through Thursday, Feb. 29); this extended run will feature the chile fried chicken plus the heirloom butter bean salad, cheddar cornbread with apple honey, mashed potatoes with duck heart gravy, almond panna cotta with peaches and ginger, and the new chicken and waffles—crispy, yeasted waffles doused in apple honey with a smear of miso butter." - Dianne de Guzman
"Flavors of the Pacific are the name of the game at this restaurant inside the revamped Flamingo Resort. You want to be here for brunch — poolside — with a Coconut Espresso Martini in one hand and a plate lunch of loco moco or spicy chicken bao in the other. The campy vibe escalates to astonishing heights during the holiday season’s Sippin’ Santa, when the guy with the red clothes and white beard dons board shorts and sunglasses with food and drinks to match. The Mele Kalikimaka — Hawaiian sweet bread stuffing croquettes with mezcal cranberry sauce and sage — pairs beautifully with a Ho Ho Hot Buttered Rum in a classic tiki cup." - Christina Mueller
"Turntable by Lord Stanley is also in Santa Rosa through the end of the month, at the poolside pop-up at Lazeaway Club inside the Flamingo Resort." - Lauren Saria
"Set amid Sonoma County grapevines and a region with hundreds of wineries, this recently restored, historic resort was a glamorous Hollywood getaway in its heyday and has been renovated to combine vintage allure with modern wellness offerings. The property features 170 rooms, a full-service spa and fitness center, a tennis court, and a year-round heated pool, and it runs a rigorous wellness program that includes reiki, breathwork, astrology, and yoga." - Mae Hamilton
