For business travelers, the hotel offers every convenience and amenity necessary for successful meetings and full conferences, including 11,000 square feet of conference space. But those on business will also find, as do great numbers of tourists, that it's a very enjoyable resort, with 245 luxurious guest rooms and suites, a restaurant, a pool and Jacuzzi and live entertainment. At the adjacent Sonoma County Wine and Visitors Center, there's ample opportunity to sample the best of Sonoma County's wines and learn about a part of California that is like no other. For both the harried executive and the tourist, there's plenty of physical activity available, including a heated Olympic-size pool, Jacuzzi, tennis courts, a lighted jogging path, basketball and volleyball courts and table tennis. The Flamingo's golf package makes good use of the nearby Fountaingrove course, as well as other top Wine Country tracks.
Some rooms also have copy machines and refrigerators.
The architecture of this inn is stunning. Redwood and stone buildings sweep low across historic Fountaingrove Ranch, the estate of famed Japanese wine baron Kanaye Nagasawa, affording an unobstructed view of the landmark Round Barn, which sits atop a small hill. The lobby, too, is far from ordinary, dominated by a large redwood sculpture of the legendary horse, Equus. Utmost restraint and understated elegance mark the inn's 125 rooms, which are almost Oriental in their simplicity. All rooms have separate dressing alcoves, double closets and work spaces with modern dataports for traveling executives.
