Healdsburg Jazz Festival

Where to Stay in Healdsburg

Coming to Healdsburg for the Jazz Festival, or some other time? You’ll find a welcome, attractive town of about 12,000 that’s bursting with great restaurants, unusual places to shop and plenty of local wineries.

Healdsburg is on the Russian River a little over an hour north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Here, you can go shopping, antiquing and wine tasting around the Healdsburg Plaza.  Take a walking tour of nearby historic homes, or get a soothing massage at one of our spas. Or head out of town to meander through the Russian River,  Dry Creek and Alexander valleys to the vineyards, farms, studios and galleries that express the area’s essence.

Visiting a place as colorful and interesting as Healdsburg invites accommodations just as colorful and interesting. Fortunately there’s no shortage of such places, from homey B&Bs to world-class hotels. Here are some of our favorites:

Hotel Healdsburg – As a special for the Healdsburg Jazz Festival, the Healdsburg Hotel is offering 10% off weekend reservations and 20% off mid-week reservations during the period of the festival, from May 29 – June 7.

With three stories of beautifully appointed guest rooms, a landscape of country gardens, pool, and the luxurious spa, plus Sonoma County’s bounty of extraordinary wines and fresh seasonal ingredients at acclaimed chef Charlie Palmer’s Dry Creek Kitchen, the Hotel Healdsburg is the first choice for in-town accommodation. Visit this page to make your reservations.

Healdsburg Lodgings Coalition offers more variety, with hotels, lodges, spas and inns priced from $ to $$$.  As well as local hotels, the member businesses offer Victorian inns to Grandma’s cottage, riverside cabins to rooms overlooking the Plaza, plus other community information. Check it all out at www.healdsburglodgings.com.

One of their member hotels, the Dry Creek Inn, offer the following two-night package:  If a person stays on Saturday night, the Sunday night rate will be 50% off (in the Tuscan building only). This offer is valid on those two consecutive nights only, and is available for both festival weekends. Be sure to ask for the Healdsburg Jazz Festival Special when you call to make your reservation (707) 433-0300.

Finally there’s the Healdsburg Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau. As their web site says, they invite you to “explore beyond the town square and you’ll find incredible hiking, biking, canoeing, camping, redwoods, rowboats and hot air balloons for aerial views of it all.” Plus, they have listings for hotels, inns, vacation rentals and camping/RV parks.
