  Amazing hotel and experience. The location is perfect to walk anywhere. They have their own private parking in the back and tons of wineries close by or tasting rooms right in town.The decor is traditional and cozy. Transforms you to another time. The fireplace in the room was so relaxing after a long day out and about. While the hotel is in the main center of the city and rooms are all on the second floor, the hotel splurged for thick doors and seals for a quiet nights rest.The service is also great. Very clear and set proper expectations. They offer a free tasting either on site or at their property in Kenwood. GO TO the winery in Kenwood!! It was such a beautiful property and the wine is amazing.Will definitely stay here again.

  Fantastic stay. Small hotel with 6 rooms, but no expense was spared. Parking in rear, easy access to elevator to second floor where the rooms are. Tasting room is great. Robert could not have been nicer with check-in and then gave us our complimentary tasting. Hotel is in the middle of downtown Sonoma with plenty to do. Highly recommend the Ledson Vineyard/Winery. We didn't have a reservation, but were able to accommodate us, and ended up being our favorite tasting for the weekend. 5 stars is not enough for this place.

  We didn't get a chance to stay at the hotel but were catered to by the wonderful Rob Schutt.He guided us through their tasting and then took time to chat and personalize the experience moreso than in any place we visited in Sonoma or Napa.His knowledge of his craft, and welcoming demeanor were great. If you ever happen to visit while he is in you'll be in for a treat. Whether it be about his time in Romania, the wine itself, the hotel, or it's owners he is a wealth of knowledge.

  We’ve been coming here for years. Each year is a little more disappointing. There used to be a lovely breakfast and interesting bartenders. It’s obvious the former gentleman who “ran” the place is no longer there. He was amazing. We visit every 3-5 years. Will not return. But wish them the best!

  Beautiful hotel rooms, well maintained and equipped, WI-FI very slow but workable. Keep in mind the front desk closes at 5:00 with the wine tasting room (which is lovely as well as the patio on the square) so if you arrive later or need something after that hour, they provide an after-hours contact for access. Excellent value (especially compared to many other Sonoma/Napa Valley hotels and inns.

  We recently stayed at this property for 3 nights. The hotel is small, exceptionally well maintained and located on the main square. One thing of note is that the hotel is not staffed at night and you may need to determine if this is important to you. The wine tasting downstairs was very enjoyable and we drove up to the Ledson Winery and it was rather impressive.

  The Ledson Hotel is an absolute gem right in downtown Sonoma off the park. My husband and I just returned from a wedding weekend in Sonoma and booked the Ledson months ago. So glad we did! I would describe this as a small luxury inn (only 11 rooms) beautifully appointed and comfortable. The manager Brandon and his associate Rob are the BEST! So friendly and accommodating and provided us with guidance and recommendations for lunch (although we were busy with wedding events). I would not hesitate to rebook with them on our next visit to Sonoma which hopefully will be soon!

  Because of Rob Schott the Ledson wine room was by far the pinnacle of our trip to Sonoma. Rob encouraged us to come in earlier in the morning and showed us around where we were blown away at the aesthetic of the lobby and Rob’s genuine hospitality and warmth. It is clear that this wine bar is not a job for Rob but a lifestyle. Rob told us we had to come back and offered to reserve the table in front of the fireplace. The wines were the best we tasted on this trip and they were in the mid 90 point range. Everything about this place shouts EXCELLENCE, everything. To top off our experience three women stopped in after closing and Rob offered to give them a taste because they were visibly disappointed. All of us ended up having a great time as Rob efficiently did his last chores. It was efficient and kind and sublime. This guy has a magical way about him. When it comes to design excellence I am not a guy in a diner just spouting off. I have designed award winning design and energy efficient homes. The devil is in the details. The day before I drove by and remarked to my wife, “ look at the condition of that old hotel, what a renovation. This was only to find out that Steve Ledson built it in 1999 to look antique. Mission accomplished. The interior is equally impressive. The guest rooms are just perfect too, Rob had one empty room and was able to give us a tour. Ledson did not miss a trick, even the bathrooms have his and hers marble sinks. If we ever come back to Sonoma we will stay no place else. The only thing we missed was to personally meet Mr. Ledson to thank and congratulate him for excellence in every aspect of his master work. Wine, architecture, interior design, employment and Rob’s cordial hospitality and interest in us personally.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Ledson Hotel. So many terrific things to point out:Above all, the staff (Rob and Michelle) were so friendly and helpful and truly made us feel like we were visiting with old friends. Rob was so personable and accommodating with his knowledge of the area, the hotel, the wines and the history. He even got me to join the wine club (which I hadn't planned on doing)!The hotel itself was lovely. The builder (Steve) did an incredible job of creating an old world feel with a modern design. As a real estate developer myself, I appreciated the attention to detail. The fireplace and jacuzzi tub in the room was a master stroke! In addition the details, such as the inlaid wood and classic light fixtures, added an elegance that we did not expect.We also loved the lobby. As it was cold and rainy for much of our stay, the lobby fireplace was the perfect spot for relaxing and having a glass of your excellent wine!All in all we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We really felt like we were in the right place at the right time. We look forward to returning soon.

  Beautiful location with a cozy fireplace. The wine was great but Rob really made it an exceptional experience. He was so knowledgeable and kind. Excited to visit again!

  This was our second time to stay at this wonderful hotel in Sonoma. As the first time, was absolutely fantastic. Brandon, Joe and Myra made our stay so enjoyable. The location of this hotel is great. Very fine restaurants, shops and wine tasting in easy walking distance. Would recommend this hotel to all visiting Sonoma. In addition, take the time to visit Ledson Winery also. Brandon gave us a very good wine tasting experience and helped us pick out some great wines.

  Well, it was just OK because: - nothing great about decor or rooms. Thank the heavens they had an elevator to get to 2nd floor. Parking was very good- The room we had arranged for had no TV or phone the first 1.5 days. it was the weekend and 'techy' was not available. Remember it only has 10 or so rooms. Not the Marriott.- DO NOT Let the staff make tasing reservations for you UNLESS you specify or ASK what the tasting fee is. Manager (I guess he was) made 3 reservations. 2 were OK, the third was at B-Wise. $100 EACH for tasing what was good but not $200 worth good. Manager did eliminate 1 night room charge (covered the $200) but it was shocking at the time of tasting and ruined the experience. WE agreed WE goofed too and did not ask before going or before tasting. WINO BEWARE!!.

  Normally I seek airbnbs when I travel. I typically like the extra space, the ability to cook, etc... I was not inspired by airbnbs in Sonoma so decided to find a hotel. And I am glad I did. The Ledson was stunning. Beautiful, centrally located, just amazing overall.

  Absolutely beautiful! Exceeded our expectations and they could not be more genuine and kind! Right on the square, you can walk everywhere which is so nice. Parking in back. Each suite is lovely and special beyond anything you will find in the area. Loved it!!
