Meetings in Mendocino
THE PERFECT LOCATION: Wine Country, Wilderness and Waves
Imagine traveling just 3-and-one-half hours through the Anderson Valley, an area famous for Pinot Noir varietals... Pause for wine tasting and then continue through majestic Redwoods. Then arrive at the Pacific Ocean and the Mendocino Hotel, situated on a bluff overlooking the Headlands and bay. Established in the 19th Century as a logging town, the hotel is the only full service hotel in the historic village and is the ideal destination for retreats, seminars, incentive groups, or a business meeting for groups of 8 to 350 people. Mendocino Hotel and Garden Suites in Mendocino, California was voted the “Best Small Hotel in Northern California”.
The focal point of Mendocino is the Mendocino Hotel. Located in the heart of the village on Main Street, overlooking the bay, the Hotel has an ideal location. The Hotel is a frequent meeting place for townspeople and a favorite lodging and dining facility for vacationers.
The Victorian antiques and furnishings throughout the Hotel are as comfortable as they are attractive. A Dutch polished steel fireplace, dated 1799, warms the lobby. An old Midwestern bank teller's booth serves as the front desk. Above the lobby bar is an oval stained glass dome believed to be the work of Tiffany’s one of many exquisite glass works throughout the Hotel. The landscaping of the Hotel features two acres of lush botanical Victorian gardens with wild flowers, roses, a traditional bishop’s garden and an herb garden, the latter is frequented by our Chef.
Why is the Mendocino Hotel the perfect location for your retreat or seminar? Because the Hotel combines a relaxing setting, with 19th Century charm, modern day comfort, and friendly, attentive service.
