The Lodge at Bodega Bay
Casual-luxury coastal resort. Think relaxed Pacific Northwest meets wine country — rocking chairs, outdoor fire pits, bocce ball, complimentary bikes. Not flashy, but genuinely polished.

Why It Matters
Voted #1 Hotel in the World by Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards in both 2024 and 2025. Independently owned and operated, with most rooms featuring private patios or balconies and fireplaces. On-site spa, two dining concepts, and strong coastal activity programming. One of the few Bodega Bay hotels with in-room whirlpool accommodations.
An 83-room coastal resort on the Sonoma Coast that's earned a reputation well beyond its modest Highway 1 address. The Lodge at Bodega Bay sat atop Condé Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards as #1 Hotel in the World two years running (2024 and 2025). It's independently owned, locally operated, sits on eight landscaped acres overlooking Doran Beach, and delivers precisely what you'd want from this stretch of the California coast: fireplaces in almost every room, sweeping bay views, good seafood, and a spa that doesn't take itself too seriously.
