Casa Madrona Hotel and Spa

Location Summary
With fresh sea breezes and a casual but cosmopolitan style, Sausalito is often compared to the Mediterranean Riviera. Beautifully situated on Richardson Bay, the city is a charming blend of vibrant storefronts and artisanal shops in a seaside village atmosphere. The list of things to do here seems endless. Hike, bike or drive along the vast network of trails in the Marin Headlands. Learn about the rescue and rehabilitation work being done at the Marine Mammal Center. Witness one of the last stands of ancient coast redwood forest at Muir Woods. Charter a boat and explore the extraordinary beauty of the Sausalito coastline. Or simply savor a cappuccino at one of the outdoor cafes as you breathe in the fresh sea air and watch the sailboats pass by. Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa offers the ideal home base.

Hop in a car or board a water taxi or ferry, and within minutes you’ve arrived in the cosmopolitan city of San Francisco – home to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf and Coit Tower. From the opulent Union Square shops and unique choices on Chestnut Street to Michelin-starred fine dining and trend-setting cafes, the San Francisco area offers one of the best shopping and dining scenes in the world with an unlimited list of activities and things to do.

World-famous Napa and Sonoma Wine Countries are just 45 minutes north of Sausalito, and the staff is happy to arrange transportation, tasting, meals and personalized tours to any of the surrounding wineries. Or head up to the North Coast to explore the lesser-known but equally beautiful beaches and ridges of Point Reyes National Seashore, hike or picnic at Mount Tamalais, or explore Mendocino’s architecture and vibrant art community.
