Usually it's hotel guests who fill an on-site restaurant, but in the case of Les Mars, in the tiny Sonoma Valley town of Healdsburg, the 65-seat eatery Cyrus may be the point of entry. Diners checking in to one of the 16 guest rooms—all with a gas fireplace and a whirlpool—will find refreshingly unstuffy service and attention to detail. Family-owned and operated, Les Mars embodies what's possible when money is no object, from an average of 500 square feet per guest room, to 20-foot vaulted ceilings, to chocolate truffles and white roses at turndown, to top-of-the-line staff and consultants—including chef Douglas Keane (formerly of San Francisco's Restaurant Gary Danko), the Auberge du Soleil's longtime manager, and Ann Getty's interior designer.
When to go: April, during the Sonoma Valley's Cinema Epicuria film festival—a quieter time than the annual fall crush.
Which room to book: No. 303, an extra-sunny corner room overlooking the picturesque entryway (doubles, $525–$1,025).
