Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa 

Seaside Sausalito chic

Matching Sausalito’s slow mo seaside scene, Casa Madrona is all siesta-ready rooms and bobbing-boat views.

Built in 1885, Casa Madrona demonstrates the staying power of an extravagant private residence. It’s worth noting that the grounds are steep in places and many rooms are only accessible by stairs. The hotel has one of the best farm-to-table Italian restaurants in town, Proggio. Nab a seat outside and it feels like you’re in Sorrento. Casa Madrona is a natural choice for taking in Sausalito’s dreamy scene of vintage boats, luxury yachts and strolling along the docks.

Why we love Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa

  • Its waterfront location the other side of the iconic bridge blends beach chic vibes with Victorian architecture and a golden state of mind

  • A quick drive, or cycle, south across the Golden Gate Bridge gets you to San Francisco

  • Head north and you’re in the vineyards of the Napa or Sonoma before you know it

  • You’re walking distance from unhurried restaurants and art galleries flinging open their doors in the sunshine
