Why Stay Here
The Classic, Premier, and Luxe rooms all come with floor-to-ceiling windows facing Russian River vineyards, and the Premier and Luxe add gas fireplaces for winter evenings. Upstairs, hydrotherapy tubs offer a reason to skip the third winery visit. The hotel's size—just sixteen rooms—means the Library Lounge never feels crowded, even when a DJ is spinning records at sunset.
- Premier and Luxe rooms include gas fireplaces and span 500–550 sq. ft.
- Hydrotherapy tubs available upstairs for guest use
- Live DJ sets in the Library Lounge most evenings
- Maréla restaurant serves coastal European small plates on-site
- Dogs and kids both welcome throughout the sixteen-room property
The Experience
Afternoons begin with wine poured in the lobby—no formal tasting, just bottles open and glasses available. By sunset, a DJ often sets up in the Library Lounge, where the mood tilts social without tipping into loud. Maréla, the on-site restaurant, serves coastal European dishes: small plates of Spanish anchovies, Italian crudo, and grilled fish meant for sharing over a second bottle. Dogs settle under tables at breakfast, and kids wander between the lobby and their parents' rooms without anyone minding.
The Setting
27 North sits steps from Healdsburg Plaza, close enough that the sounds of the square fade into live music drifting from the lobby by evening. The building itself feels more like a private estate than a hotel, with candlelit corridors after dusk and a rhythm set by afternoon wine service rather than check-in times. Sixteen rooms means the property stays quiet even when the bar is full. The Library Lounge anchors the ground floor, where records play and guests linger past their dinner reservations.
Rooms & Suites
Classic
The Classic rooms at 27 North offer a cozy yet sophisticated retreat, featuring a king bed adorned with luxurious imported linens and a distinctive seating area.

Premier
Spanning 500 sq. ft., the Premier rooms are thoughtfully designed to enhance your stay with a king bed or double queens, complemented by a gas fireplace and inviting seating area. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, while the spacious bathroom boasts both a walk-in rain shower and a hydrotherapy jet soaking tub for ultimate relaxation.
Luxe
The Luxe rooms elevate your experience with their spacious 550 sq. ft. layout, featuring a king bed and plush imported linens. A gas fireplace and writing desk create a stylish workspace, while the oversized bathroom, complete with a hydrotherapy jet soaking tub and walk-in rain shower, invites you to indulge in relaxation amidst stunning views of wine country.
Insider Tips
Request a Luxe room for the ultimate pampering experience, featuring stunning vineyard views and a luxurious soaking tub. Consider visiting during the week if you prefer a quieter atmosphere, as weekends tend to be more lively with social events.
