Once a prestigious address for a 300 hundred-acre vineyard and working ranch with prized trotters and cattle, the lush 19th century estate has been transformed into a luxurious 64 room inn and spa. Each of the Inn’s 64 rooms and suites are individually designed with beautiful furnishings, down comforters, custom linens, and original artwork. Ten rooms are located in the property's original residence built in the 1850's. The Inn's 29 luxury suites offer fireplaces, king-sized beds, hydrotherapy tubs or rain showers, wet bars, flat-panel televisions, and DVD players with six-speaker surround sound. MacArthur Place is set among seven acres of magnificent gardens filled with original sculpture. Flagstone walkways lead guests past hedgerows, fountains and benches to a sparkling swimming pool and whirlpool. The Garden Spa at MacArthur Place offers over 40 different massage, facial and body treatments utilizing the flowers, herbs and plants found in the garden. Located in the Inn's historic barn on the estate, Saddles is the wine country's premier steakhouse serving only USDA Prime beef. 707-938-2900

The historic Sonoma Plaza offers the perfect setting for many annual events during the long summer months. The 8-1/2 acre city park, complete with duck pond, fountain, meandering pathways, and lawns is the setting for art, craft, wine, and food booths on summer festival weekends. The Ox Roast is held on the first Sunday in June. Fourth of July features a traditional parade and pyrotechnic extravaganza. Salute to the Arts is the premier art event of each season, and Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival celebrates the harvest on the last weekend in September. Music in the Plaza's open-air amphitheater is the perfect setting for summer weekends and weekday evenings. The Sonoma Valley Jazz Society can usually be heard on Farmers' Market Tuesdays.
