Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country Reveals its Complete Rebrand and Redesign, Offering an Effortlessly Chic Retreat & New Brasserie
Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country proudly debuts a rustic chic sanctuary set on eight acres, featuring 90 additional guest rooms and a complete redesign of 40,000 square feet of event spaces, the lobby, and all other public areas on October 1, 2018. Centrally located in the heart of Sonoma in Downtown Santa Rosa’s Historic Railroad Square, Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country was recently rebranded from a Hyatt hotel. In late October 2018, the newly revitalized hotel will also launch a new Brasserie restaurant featuring Sonoma County-influenced farm-to-fire dishes alongside custom barrel aged cocktails and a standout list of wines by the glass and bottles.
Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country brings a casually elegant and local-inspired destination to wine country. An effortlessly chic retreat, the hotel’s new design features earthy colors and textures and natural accents. The lobby showcases timeless interior design with handcrafted details, rustic touches and eclectic layering of wood tones, brushed metals and woven textures. As an extension of the lobby, the function spaces are also distinctive and inviting with bronze, iron and seeded glass. The suites highlight warm tones of olive, wheat and linen while the guest rooms combine soft gold and cream colors intended to represent the splendor and comfort of the autumn countryside.
“Paying homage to Sonoma’s quintessential lifestyle, Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country’s new design reflects our authentic appreciation for the land, rolling hillsides and striking sunsets,” says General Manager John McAuliffe. “The hotel offers an oasis for all types of travelers whether it’s a local foodie exploring the Brasserie restaurant, a visitor seeking a relaxed vacation in wine country, or a business professional looking for an optimal meeting space in the heart of Santa Rosa.”
Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country features extensive meeting and event spaces, including 15 indoor meeting rooms totaling 18,000 square feet; and an additional 20,000 square feet of outdoor space accompanied by an 80-foot long water wall ideal for weddings and special events. Culinary experiences include the Lobby Lounge, which serves coffee and pastries in the morning, and starting at 4 p.m. daily, it will offer Happy Hour featuring cocktails, beer and wine from local wineries.
Slated for late October, the hotel’s new Brasserie restaurant will initially open for breakfast, Happy Hour and dinner service, along with a lunch menu available to groups of 10 or more. Executive Chef Rene Jakushak will prepare contemporary California rustic cuisine throughout the day; breakfast will feature an extensive buffet in addition to a la carte offerings, while the dinner menu will include appetizers, shared plates and select entrees. Highlights include Petaluma Farms Angry Eggs featuring three spicy deviled eggs with tomatillo sriracha and smoked paprika; Panko Breaded Dungeness Crab Bricks with white truffle, apple and celery root salad, Meyer lemon and chipotle pepper aioli; Lobster, Tomato, Smoked Mozzarella Arancini with Sherry cream sauce; Almond Crusted Salmon Fillet with quinoa pilaf, garden vegetables, avocado, oven roasted tomatoes and lemon-thyme cream; and Grilled Rib Eye Steak Frites with crispy garlic fingerling potatoes, roasted cippolini onions, garden vegetables, and port wine sauce; among others. Lead Bartenders Jonathan Grady and Sarah Boryszewski helm the beverage program creating custom barrel aged cocktails ($10-15) with a twist highlighting spirits, such as bourbon for a Manhattan; tequila for an Old Fashion; gin for a Negroni; and vodka for a Cosmo; among others. Between 6-10 cocktails at a time are available on tap after being aged for 30-90 days.
Meticulously designed, the new chic and upscale Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country property offers a sanctuary where guests may relax poolside under a grapevine covered arbor, sip wine under the stars beside a 10-foot crystal fire pit or enjoy the manicured floral gardens. Set along a beautifully designed creek walk, the hotel is located within 20 minutes of more than 200 Sonoma wineries and just steps from downtown Santa Rosa, where boutiques, antique shops, wine bars, tasting rooms, and dozens of unique restaurants await.
The Hyatt Regency brand offers an intuitive experience that puts everything guests need right at their fingertips, , as well as a full range of services and amenities, including notable culinary experiences, technology-enabled ways to collaborate, the space to work, engage or relax, and expert planners who take care of every detail.
