Reminiscent of California’s illustrious past, the warm and welcoming Union is just a one-minute walk from picturesque Benicia Bay. If it weren’t for the contemporary touches, you might feel like a gold prospector finding lodgings for the night – as the accommodation oozes Victorian elegance right down to the antique furniture, but with wifi, TV, and coffee makers, of course. This quaint Americana theme continues to the lobby, where your complimentary continental breakfast is served.

Quite a suitable name for a hotel near San Francisco, this historic hotel was built in 1911 and is on the National Registry of Historic Buildings – which means it has to report to the local police station every other Tuesday and not leave the local area. The traditional, individually decorated rooms feature free wifi and minifridges and there’s also an on-site fine dining restaurant – very popular with locals – featuring a bar and a wine cellar.

Hotel Shattuck Plaza

With some rooms displaying stunning views of San Francisco bay, this mission-style building – dating from 1910 – houses a sophisticated, graceful, and relaxing hotel. This place is a stalwart of downtown Berkley and no two guestrooms are alike – though the common theme is modern convenience wrapped in taste and charm. This means luxury linens, ergonomic chairs, iPod docks and hypoallergenic pillows. The Mediterranean-style restaurant is excellent and the hand-crafted cocktails are definitely worth a visit to the bar.

Carneros Resort and Spa

Almost the definition of boujee, this upscale resort sits on 27-acres (11ha) in the Napa Valley countryside, surrounded by rolling vineyards – not too shabby so far. The accommodation doesn’t disappoint either: with high-end Cali-style cottages featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, outdoor hot tubs and showers, private patios, and – get this – wine dispensers. There are also three restaurants, two spas, one artisan general store, a boutique and a couple of very smug guests by the end of your visit here.

Just 2mi (3.2km) from the Napa River and 5mi (8km) from the Starmont Winery and Vineyards, the plush and relaxing accommodation is reminiscent of Tuscany – with upgraded rooms offering vineyard views and terraces. The plentiful amenities include a beautiful outdoor pool, wine tasting rooms, a swish farm-to-table restaurant and two bars.

It’s all about wellness here, with a little bit of vino on the side – the hotel even encourages a digital detox. The incredible spa is alcohol-free, but, this being the middle of wine country, the rest of the resort is a different matter. Indulgent Quakerism is the style that springs to mind with the rooms – elegant simplicity with luxury touches. The resort features an outdoor pool, a fantastic restaurant and bar and a café.
