About the Property
Hilton Garden Inn Sonoma County Airport is a 90-room hotel on Aviation Boulevard in north Santa Rosa, about a mile from Sonoma County Airport. It was built in 2008.
There is an indoor pool, and the Garden Grille & Bar serves breakfast daily and dinner, with a small convenience shop. Self-parking is free, and dogs and cats are welcome for a fee.
It is also an easy place to start a wine tour. La Crema Estate at Saralee's Vineyard, Martinelli Winery and Bob Cabral Wines are all within about 15 minutes. We are based in Calistoga, in neighboring Napa Valley.
Getting Here From the Airport
Sonoma County Airport (STS): about 2 miles, 5 minutes. The closest airport to Hilton Garden Inn Sonoma County Airport, and the easiest arrival: a small airport in Santa Rosa with no Bay Area traffic on the drive. Direct flights come in from Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas and more.
Oakland (OAK): about 74 miles, 1 hour 35 minutes. Often a quieter airport than SFO.
San Francisco International (SFO): about 74 miles, 1 hour 40 minutes, and longer at busy times. The most flights, with a drive across the Bay Area.
Sacramento (SMF): about 106 miles, around 2 hours. Skips Bay Area traffic entirely, though it is the longest drive of the four.
Flying private? We also meet guests at the FBOs at STS and Napa County Airport (APC). See our Sonoma County Airport car service page for more on flying into STS.
