InnHampton Inn Petaluma
Dog-friendly base with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Petaluma Gap.

The rooftop bar at Hotel Petaluma opens to views across the Petaluma River and the century-old downtown blocks below. It's the kind of spot where guests plan to have one drink before dinner and end up staying through sunset, watching the last of the vineyard traffic roll in from the Gap.
Breakfast happens downstairs near the window tables, where the menu includes pastries from a local bakery and espresso drinks made to order. Dogs sleep under the lobby chairs and follow their owners up the elevator. Later, guests head to the rooftop with a glass of Pinot from the bar's Petaluma Gap producers, then realize they've missed their reservation and order bar snacks instead.

The building stands along Kentucky Street, where the original iron-front storefronts date back to the 1800s. Inside, salvaged wood beams run across the ceiling, and guest rooms look either toward the river or the brick facades across the street. The hotel sits three blocks from the historic downtown theater and two from the river walk that traces the water south toward the marshlands.
Opt for a room with a river view to enjoy charming sunsets that paint the sky in hues of orange and pink. Take advantage of the hotel's proximity to downtown Petaluma, where exploring local shops and dining spots can easily fill a leisurely afternoon. Plan your visit during the week for a quieter experience, as weekends can be busier with local events and activities.
