A friend from out of state was visiting and we decided to take a day for pampering and self care-…read moreOur massages were absolutely amazing from start to finish. We had the soaking tubs, sauna and pools pretty much to ourselves and the food and bubbly were exactly what we needed. The only negative was as that one Caesar salad, two glasses of bubbly and one shrimp quesadilla was somehow like 220.00??? That seemed excessive and exorbitant. We had vouchers from TravelZoo which gave a pretty decent discount but then the total bill ended up being like $550.00 with the food and drink... the math wasn't mathing so I think they need to work on that. But everything else was exceptional.

Let's get this out of the way. The spa is at the opposite end of the hotel from the lobby. Don't…read moreconfuse it with the unrelated spa near the side parking lot. There's a small lobby and gift shop. The changing rooms are downstairs and there's a waiting room upstairs where the treatment rooms are. The lockers might be slightly confusing - press clear before setting your code. Lou and Julia were our excellent female practitioners. Five stars for them. The massage comes with use of the spa amenities. I was surprised there was a small coed sauna outside by the pool. There's no steam room but there a couple of plunge pools, including one with heated jets. I'll use the spa again the next time I stay at the Lodge.

I'm so grateful the Fairmont Spa day pass exists. We celebrated my mom's birthday the first week of…read moreJanuary and loved it so much that we came back in February for my aunt's birthday. Whose birthday is in March?! Even without staying at the hotel, the day pass was worth every penny. Check-in is seamless, and the locker rooms are fully stocked with easy-to-use lockers, plush robes, slippers, and luxurious bath products. It feels indulgent from the start. The amenities are what truly set this place apart. Outside, you can choose between two large heated pools at different temperatures, plus a hot tub tucked away in the far corner for a quieter soak. Inside, there are two additional hot tubs, a spacious sauna, and a steam room. There are showers with a signature scrub, too. If the weather doesn't cooperate, there are plenty of comfortable indoor lounging areas, including dreamy zero-gravity chairs that make it impossible not to relax. Both visits, we treated ourselves to bottle service, which made the day feel extra special. While I didn't order food, the portions looked generous and the pricing felt fair for a luxury resort experience. The staff is exceptionally well-trained, and a few team members truly went above and beyond both times. We brought cash on our second visit to make sure we could tip appropriately. One thing I will say: if you're looking for a QUIET and ultra-peaceful experience, I would avoid Saturdays. The first time we went (a Sunday), it felt very zen. The second visit was on a Saturday, and there were larger groups celebrating birthdays. Some guests were there to party, and it got loud, specifically at the hot top and indoors. Obviously, that's out of the Fairmont's control, but it's something to keep in mind depending on the vibe you're hoping for. There's honestly no better way to spend a winter day, especially when you can follow it up with a meal at El Molino Central right across the street. Note that parking is validated for a set amount of time (then around $3/hour after), which makes it easy and convenient. I love everything about this place. It's the perfect reset during the colder months, and I can't wait to return.

My first time was at 29 when I didn't…read morelive in the area, but would spend holidays and weekends at the Inn as a special get away treat. We used to adore the top notch service, restaurant, spa and rooms. The absolutely gorgeous and impeccably maintained grounds with lavish floral arrangements made it feel like heaven. Although I moved here a decade ago go, I still returned for events, spa service and the restaurant. Unfortunately, it's is NOTHING like it used to be and it breaks my heart. Most recently, for the first time after a long illness, I tried to book a simple pedicure. I booked it online for $135. Steep, but worth it for their great service I thought. Then I got a phone message confirming my appointment and saying that it wasn't $135, it was really $194 because they require you to pay $59 to use the spa facilities for the day, even if you're not going to use said facilities. Why not have it booked that way online? So $194 plus a 20% gratuity PLUS $49 for valet parking. Soooo, for a one hour pedicure it's $270. Pleeeease. No wonder I could a get an appointment for any time I wanted 24 hours from when I was booking. The funny thing is, I would have probably shopped and purchased food anyway. They would have made more from me if they just went jerks about it. Charging people more for a lot less is why they've developed a crappy reputation over the years. It's sad to see another favorite place of mine turn to crap. The only shining star was Steve who answered the phone at the spa and ever so kindly answered my questions and canceled my appointment. Thank you, Steve. Goodbye, Sonoma Mission Inn. Although you've been long gone, I will still miss your days of glory many years ago.

I called to book a massage for two for my friend's birthday. If you call they have more time slots…read morethan what is listed online. Both times I called I reached a voicemail but they quickly returned my call. After speaking to someone on the phone I got an email confirmation with additional details like parking or arriving 15 minutes early. I had no trouble rescheduling the appointments for later in the day when something came up. The resort is beautiful! It's like a little cottage. The landscaping is immaculate. When we arrived there was a wedding going on. It was a little confusing how to find the spa. One of the employees told us to follow the brick path and take a right. A less scenic but easier instructions would be to head back out towards the street after dropping off your car with the valet and make a left. As you're walking along the street you'll easily find The Spa/pool area. Checking in we were given a pair of slippers and shown the locker room. Instructions on how to use the locker are easy. You get to choose a 4 digit code. I recommend bringing a swim suit so you can enjoy the hydrotherapy garden (jacuzzi and steam room) afterwards. I was told access to the pool is available for an additional $5. Very clean facilities! Someone must be attending to the locker rooms constantly. Nothing was out of place. Plenty of clean towels. Lots of personal care products available. In the waiting area for the massage even had cookies from the restaurant. There's also water and tea available. After the 50 minute MacArthur massage I felt like I woke up from a good nap. It was very refreshing. My friend said her massage targeted areas based on what she did for work repetitively. Fantastic communication from all of the staff! It was a wonderful experience with the Spa at MacArthur!

It's hard to pick a favorite part of the day but breath work and meditation with Ben in the sound healing room was so centering and a perfect way to start a lovely sequence of restorative treatments. All treatments were next level and the environment very intentionally curated and sacred. Blush's practitioners all went beyond to support the refreshing day I needed for so so long. Plus the official snack break was elevated-- a generous multi cheese platter with fresh veggies, hummus, nuts, fruit. Just refreshing and absolutely lovely. Dolores is also a very talented intuitive. She introduced me to cacao ceremony as a method of manifestation and guided me through an extensive oracle reading. I can't wait to visit her and Blush again for another reset & restore. Thank you Blush Team
