"The Sonoma Hotel building was built in 1880 by German immigrant Henry Weyl. Weyl opened a dry goods store and a butcher shop on the street level and a community/social hall on the second floor. In the 1920's the Sebastiani family opened the Plaza Hotel and began its long and wonderful career as a charming local Inn. In 1999, Craig Miller and Tim Farfan remodeled the 120 year-old building by adding private baths, TVs, telephones, AC, antiques, and French Country furniture. You might think you are in a country side hotel in Provence with its old rustic charm, extra wide halls, beautiful fir paneling, original Sonoma stone fireplace, clawfoot tubs, and clapboard ceilings. Considered by many "the Jewel" of Sonoma Plaza, the Sonoma Hotel continues to be a sought out destination by guests such as Maya Angelou. In fact, Ms. Angelou wrote "Gather together in my name" while staying in the Inn." (
