Built in 1906 and anchoring Old Courthouse Square, Hotel E is one of Santa Rosa's most storied addresses, a Beaux-Arts landmark that has welcomed guests through the full arc of Sonoma's history.
The hotel's 39 rooms balance the gravitas of the original architecture (high ceilings, generous moldings, the light that comes only from tall historic windows) with modern amenities that don't apologize for being contemporary. Nothing feels like a museum reproduction, because it isn't one.
The Enology Lounge is the hotel's social anchor, offering an intimate, well-curated wine program that draws on producer relationships throughout Sonoma County. It's the right place to end a day in the vineyards or to begin one before heading out to the appellation.
Valet parking, continental breakfast, and genuine dog-friendly accommodations round out a property that attends to the details without making a performance of it.

Staying at Hotel E on Old Courthouse Square
Hotel E occupies a restored 1906 Beaux-Arts building at 37 Old Courthouse Square, in the
middle of downtown Santa Rosa. Thirty-nine rooms sit above the Enology wine lounge, which
pours Sonoma County wines by the glass and runs a daily early evening happy hour. The
location means the square, the 4th Street restaurant corridor and Railroad Square are all
reachable on foot.
The wider county opens up from here. Russian River Valley tasting rooms are a short drive
west, Sonoma Valley runs southeast toward Kenwood, and Healdsburg sits north. Guests can plan
with the winery and brewery directory, the
restaurant directory and the
attractions directory.
