Blue Door Inn
As part of the Four Sisters Inn collection throughout California, the Blue Door Inn is one of their three locations in Mendocino and is the most refined of the three. Depending on which room is booked, guests may be able to sit in front of their private fireplace, or enjoy distant views of the ocean. Regardless of which perks are available, breakfast will be brought to each room every morning.
HIGHLIGHTS:
As the flagship location of the Mendocino locations, guests at the Blue Door Inn can enjoy the wine hour hosted every afternoon — with cheese, crackers and fresh baked cookies, no less.
Heritage House Resort and Spa
With stunning ocean views, timeless architectural appeal and lavish amenities, guests can fully embrace the Mendocino coast’s beauty at the Heritage House Inn. Traditional — but luxe nonetheless — rooms and suites are available, but there are also three private houses to choose from for a more spacious stay.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Make your trip one of relaxation by starting your weekend mornings off with a yoga class or visiting the onsite spa. Wanting to enjoy nature a bit more? The Heritage House Resort and Spa is surrounded by 37 acres of land, with nothing short of greenery, ocean views and natural beauty.
Brewery Gulch Inn and Spa
Brewery Gulch Inn and Spa will provide guests with a classical and cozy stay that’s worth every penny. Of course, each room is equipped with everything needed to ensure this, but exploring the rest of the hotel is also worthwhile — visit the Great Room to sit by its four-sided glass and steel fireplace while mingling with other guests, indulge in sound healing and take advantage of the delicious onsite food.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Different stay packages and deals are available for guests, such as their 5-Night Mini-Vacation, which discounts the third and fourth nights and provides the fifth free. For expecting parents, the babymoon package might be the perfect opportunity to spend quality time together while savoring the beauty of Mendocino.
Sacred Rock Inn
Various lodging options are available here — cottages, bungalows, the inn building and more — but all have unique perks to offer. The Sacred Rock Inn is perched along Mendocino’s Coast, giving guests front row seats to colorful sunsets and panoramic, oceanfront views; binoculars are even provided.
HIGHLIGHT:
Not only is your typical spa available for treatment, but alternative wellness therapies are as well. Try out one of their sound sessions or reiki for a more spiritually-oriented experience.
