MacArthur Place Hotel & Spa

Rialto Score 9+

A Preferred hotel. Rialto is a Preferred Hotels & Resorts Platinum Partner agency and can provide VIP access and offers.

Hide away in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country at MacArthur Place Hotel & Spa. Nearly every aspect of this former 19th-century ranch has been reinvented, yet it still exudes a charming, Victorian aesthetic. The 64 rustic chic rooms are located in 20 buildings spread around the six-acre grounds, all connected by winding footpaths and lush gardens. Linger over lattes and friendly conversation at The Porch, the central coffee bar/stockhouse-style marketplace/social hub. Farm-fresh comes with a communal vibe at Layla restaurant.

In the hotel’s own words

Natural Luxury in the Heart of Sonoma

Read moreShow less

MacArthur Place was founded well over a century ago as a family estate, vineyard, and working ranch with prized trotters. Today, these lush grounds and historic farm buildings have been transformed into Sonoma’s foremost luxury resort and spa.

From the moment you step onto MacArthur Place, you will experience a feeling of magic and discovery. Over five acres of intimate gardens, grand historic buildings, winding flagstone paths, archways, fire pits, and secret nooks. Here you will also discover a range of incredible dining experiences, beautifully designed rooms with high-touch finishes, and exciting activities from afternoon tastings to indulgent spa treatments to late-night stargazing. All delivered with the kind of generous, personal, and anticipatory service that truly frees you from the stresses of everyday life.

The Rooms

Every one of MacArthur Place’s rooms and suites are appointed with custom designed furnishings, premium linens, and luxurious bathrooms – many with both indoor and outdoor showers. Choose one of our sumptuous multi-room suites for an even more lavish experience complete with working fireplaces, king-sized beds, original art, and other unique features. Or, for a truly one-of-a-kind experience, stay at the Burris House (the property’s original residence built in the 1860’s) with its wrap-around porch, gracious living rooms, and historic charm.

The Spa

No visit is complete without spending time at The Spa at MacArthur. The Spa highlights tranquil spaces, product lines, therapies and treatments all inspired by the property’s natural setting, connecting guests to the roots of Sonoma.

The Food

Finally, there’s the dining program at MacArthur Place, which includes Layla – serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner celebrating Sonoma’s vibrant bounty with farm-fresh, seasonal cuisine; The Porch – a relaxed coffee bar & marketplace with a range of fresh, healthy, grab-and-go options; and The Bar at MacArthur Place, delivering craft beer and classic American cocktails in a warm, convivial setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Preferred Hotels & Resorts Platinum Partner always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

Do I earn I Prefer points and keep my elite benefits? Is this considered a direct booking or a third-party booking?

Yes. The booking is a direct reservation with the hotel, so it earns I Prefer points and elite-night credit, and I Prefer elite status benefits apply.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
