boon hotel + spa - adults only

The Russian River has long been a weekend and holiday destination for San Franciscans, with Guerneville the region’s de facto capital. Luxurious, design-oriented boutique hotels are a relative novelty, though, and the adults-only Boon Hotel + Spa is a stylish addition to the scene. It’s a renovation — or more accurately a transformation — of a Seventies hotel, though its modern-rustic rooms are unmistakably 21st-century. Some of the rooms and suites come with vintage Malm fireplaces, and there are tents and a camper available for sleeping closer to the outdoors in the summer. Breakfast is delivered to your door, and the spa has a saltwater pool and hot tub as well as facilities for massage.
