Gathering Here
Sometimes, the most important thing is having enough space to fit everyone in the same room. In Santa Rosa, you can do just that without sacrificing the irresistible blend of modern entertainment and “retro-futuristic” comfortability that makes the Flamingo Resort & Spa stand out.
Aside from the roughly 5,500-square-foot ballroom, Flamingo Resort & Spa also features smaller, versatile meeting spaces and lounge areas both indoors and on outdoor patios with The Cove as a backdrop.
This location also features a full-service spa, the Flamingo Lazeaway Club restaurant, a fitness center with daily classes, and Vintage Space, a music lounge with live music, dancing, and regular live entertainment events.
A brief walk to the heart of town will bring you to the doorsteps of numerous restaurants including La Rosa Tequileria & Grille, Ausiello's 5th Street Bar & Grill, and 19Ten Bar & Provisions. Looking for a pick-me-up? Enjoy a nearby natural escape at Julliard Park or Luther Burbank Home & Gardens.

Team-Building Here
Any good manager knows that relaxation can be just as important as work. Enter The Sandman Hotel, a tranquil, entertainment-focused hotel perfect for a team looking to step back and reconnect.
At The Sandman, you can skip the boardroom in favor of equally insightful team-building experiences both onsite and off. , With a bocce ball court, a pool house and bar, a wellness dome for meditating and yoga, a fitness center, a guest lounge with arcade games, and plenty of backyard space to relax around cozy fire tables.
Your group can also head out to surrounding activities like hiking at Nagasawa Park, wine tasting at Paradise Ridge Winery, and friendly competition at Poppy Bank Epicenter. Or walk over to Cooperage Brewing Co. and grab a beer and participate in the Santa Rosa Beer Passport.

Being a Local Here
There are plenty of options when it comes to hosting meetings for smaller local groups, and there’s no better place to do it than The Astro Motel.
The Astro's eclectic, mid-century-modern stylings pinpoint that nostalgic roadside motel feel. Yes, at first glance, this hotel’s electric amenities will steal the show, but the key to this space is its central location in the charming South A Street Arts District, which is home to some of the best arts and culture in the city. Plus, a stay here will put you within walking distance of downtown Santa Rosa, filled with restaurants, bars and a little retail therapy.
Cheers to
Being Downtown
What about a place that puts you right in the action? That would be the historic Hotel E, located centrally in downtown Santa Rosa on the Old Courthouse Square.
With nearly 1000 square feet of indoor meeting space at Hotel E and enough rooms to make it the perfect location for a small gathering. However, even with a wine bar, weekly music events and undeniable charm, it’s tough to beat the things to do just outside the hotel’s walls.
Hotel E is surrounded by local coffee like Land and Water Coffee and Crooks Coffee, plus popular dining options like Beer Baron Bar & Kitchen, Perch + Plow, and Downtown Barbecue. Entertainment is just around the corner at the Barrel Proof Lounge, Museum of Sonoma County, or the local sports bar, Ausiello’s 5th Street Bar & Grill.

Saving Here!
Getting more bang for your buck isn’t always an option, but in Santa Rosa, great value comes in the form of Courtyard by Marriott. Lodging options are flexible and reasonably priced, making this an excellent choice for anyone wanting to keep their week of meetings simple and effective.
Conveniently located just a short walk from Historic Railroad Square and Downtown Santa Rosa, the Marriott has everything you need to get everyone lodged and meeting in the same space. But with everything you need on-site, it might make leaving hard. Indulge in dining at the bistro, take a dip in the sparkling outdoor pool, or stay active in the 24/7 fitness center.

Staying Here
A short walk away from Downtown Santa Rosa is AC Hotel, a frontrunner in local sustainable meeting practices. With two LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified meeting rooms, planners know they're getting a climate-conscious option in this dynamic location.
With 142 upscale guest rooms, a cocktail lounge, a comfortable outdoor patio, and an extensive fitness center, AC Hotel has it all. To make travel even more accessible, the nearby California Welcome Center - Santa Rosa serves as a stop for the Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) Train, which makes for a sustainable transportation option to and from the Sonoma County Airport.
Step outside the hotel grounds and the charm of walkable Historic Railroad Square is immediately available, including plenty of boutique shopping, delectable dining, and a re-emerging nightlife scene in the heart of Santa Rosa.

Bonding Here
It’s often difficult to find a suitable venue that can accommodate a varied schedule, but that’s precisely the strong suit of the Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country.
Located just south of downtown Santa Rosa, the Hyatt offers some of the largest accommodations for meetings in the city. With eight total spaces, the largest indoor being a 7,000-square-foot ballroom, and just over 250 available rooms, this hotel can accommodate any and all kinds of gatherings.
From presentations in an 80-person meeting room to a large outdoor reception on the back lawn, planning a weekend of workshops is no sweat here. It’s even easier to hit the town and explore with Historic Railroad Square and the California Welcome Center just next door.
