Experience the signature Bathing Ritual at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn. The hotel stands on ancient bathing grounds which have been enjoyed by health seekers for centuries.

The ritual starts with an exfoliating shower, followed by a 96-98 degree warm natural mineral bath. It also includes a 102 degree hot mineral bath with jets, re-hydration drink, cool shower, herbal steam, dry sauna and rest. Of course you are free to skip any of these steps if the experience gets too intense.

Sonoma Mission Inn guests can experience the ritual free of charge if receiving a treatment on that day. Rates for non-hotel guests are $90 per person.
