Outside the door
Eco-modern creekside hangout
Living succulent roofs and solar-heated spaces turn a restored creekside setting into an easygoing wine country gathering spot.
“H2 is also impeccably designed. Rooms are bright and airy, with bamboo floors, live-edge tables, earthy but elegant colors, art from local artists, and glass carafes…”
What it’s good at
Notable
An undulating succulent roof and Ned Kahn’s kinetic spoon fountain lead the green architecture.

What they say

Also in AFAR.
Healdsburg isn’t exactly a major metropolis, but make no mistake, this is urban living. Rooms are bright and sunny, outfitted like stylish little apartments
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Healdsburg's historic plaza, tasting rooms, and farm-to-table restaurants sit just a short walk down the avenue.
The rooms
Light-filled rooms have bamboo floors and private balconies, and Eco-Studios add deep Japanese plunge tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Solar panels heat the outdoor lap pool, set creekside with woven loungers along the wood-slatted facade.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Spoonbar
Glass walls open onto the sidewalk, serving seasonal Sonoma dishes and craft cocktails mixed with house botanical shrubs.
How it began
Built on a remediated gas station site, the property was engineered to help restore Foss Creek's steelhead trout habitat.
