Opened in May 2005 and created by the Mars family, Hotel Les Mars brings the elegance and unobtrusive service of the finest European family hotels to Northern California. Hotel Les Mars follows the philosophy that patrons should be treated more like visiting friends than guests, and upon entering the lobby, visitors are welcomed to the warm smiles of the hotel staff, unique 17th and 18th century antiques, and a comfort found only at the home of a very good friend. Hotel Les Mars represents an intimate location, a labor of love, and a new dimension of sophisticated, luxury lodging in wine country. Andrew Harper's Hideaway Report, the definitive guide to luxury travel, commented that "Les Mars now sets the standard for luxury accommodations in Sonoma."

Loved this place and appreciate the attention to detail like bottle of bubbly in the room, soaking tub and four posted bed. Great location walkable to what Healdsburg has partnerships with nearby wineries that comp tasting fees. Highly recommend for a romantic getaway!

Everything about the property was exceptional-the charming character of the property, the French ambiance, the room decor, the bed linens, balcony, in-room fireplace, the sparkling champagne in the room, the breakfast and everything was of exceptional quality. Last but not least-all of the staff at the property were exceptional, kind and helpful. We loved out stay.

Exceptional hotel! I travel for business and am selective with hotel choices and this is easily the best hotel I’ve stayed at in years! Gracious service, nightly turndowns with chocolate, comfortable, quiet rooms and breakfast delivered to your room - doesn’t get better than this! They even dropped us to meet friends at a local winery. Can’t wait to come back!

We paid $1700 for two rooms for one night. The experience was beyond terrible - we found hair in the shower, a missing knob on the bathroom faucet and the front desk refused to print out invoices because we made the reservation via a well known online travel website, and not directly with them! Breakfast was included but so plain and simple and only served in the room. I was just shocked how this hotel is in the Relais Chateaux portfolio... The property needs a new GM! Healdsburg is a lovely town and needs better hotels.

We had the loveliest time at Hotel Les Mars! I'd go back again tomorrow! Our room was large and tastefully appointed. The bathroom was also spacious and had actual drawers in which to put our many items we need to get ready in the morning! But first of all, to me, the staff makes the difference when getting to your destination. Every single person who greeted us did so with a smile on his/her face, especially Trevor, who checked us in. There was never a time when we entered or left that a staff member didn't greet us with a friendly smile or welcome. We've been heading to Healdsburg, a very charming town, for many years but never stayed at Hotel Les Mars. We usually go for my birthday, in the beginning of July, and have stayed at a few different places. Hotel Les Mars was heads above the rest. Located just off the main Plaza, it's easy enough to shop and return your treasures to your room before returning to lunch or dinner. Treat yourself to a wonderful vacation there--I highly recommend it. By the way, they will make wine tasting reservations at some nice wineries and make sure the tasting is comped. We had a really great time, and I can't wait to return.

This is the nicest hotel in Healdsburg! I love it and come back every year. The staff is super attentive. The rooms are spacious with authentic antique furniture and plush decorations. Some rooms have large jetted soaking tubs and marble showers. Very regal and fancy, and you'll be treated like Royalty. Hotel Les Mars is centrally located in town, and walking distance to winery tasting rooms, Michelin star and casual restaurants, and cute boutique shops.

The Les Mars is a beautiful hotel in the heart of Healdsburg, in walking distance to anything you might desire. Our room was beautiful with tasteful furniture, many windows and a high ceiling. Beautiful bathroom and lovely products, bathrobes, free water, wine, sodas. Good mattress and bedding. Breakfast is brought to your room, I would say it was ok. Our stay was very pleasant and the service was excellent.

This hotel is classically French refined. It is beautiful and a little quirky. Even the service is a little quirky, but excellent. For those who like the American hotel cookie cutter experience it is better to go elsewhere.

Newport Beach, California38 contributions38 helpful votes
I wish I could give more stars but since our room was over $650 a night we expected more. First the great, perfect location, comfortable bed, clean and friendly. But the misses began to add up. Our room had 2 queens with only one standard pillow on each bed. We called down and extra pillow were promptly delivered. But next I turned down the sheet on my bed and the top sheet was filthy. It obviously had not been changed. We called down and the bed was changed promptly with apologies. These are not crisp sheets. We had noticed a free standing little device prompted against the open window. that we thought was an air filter. We closed our window due to noise at night and it became apparent that the regular air conditioning was having trouble. We called down in the middle of the night because it was so hot and they explained that the whole hotel was going to have the air conditioner replaced and that they were having trouble with it. It would have been nice to betold about this when we checked in. I would have kept the curtains and windows closed during the day. Side note, it would be nice to have a charging station on the desk instead of having to search under the beds etc to find outlets for our devices. I think the biggest disappointment at this French store hotel was the continental breakfast. There is no way the sad little offering can be called continental. Healdsburg is full of bakeries so of course in our French style hotel we expected more than a hard little roll some yoghurt and a tiny bowl of granola. It you want coffee, tea, juice or anything else you have to pay more!there are only 16 rooms in the hotel so I was surprised that more effort wasn’t made. It isn’t a bad hotel by any means but for $1400 for a 2 night stay in Healdsburg we expected more.
