This is Santa Rosa’s smartest hotel, and it wears the title well, with atmospheric rooms, a great pool, a terrace perfect for chilling out on, a charming courtyard and a good restaurant. Individual room decor leaves little to be desired, but for Santa Rosa this is still a very urbane choice. There's also a great on-site international restaurant.
