opulence in olema

Locate luxury on an intimate scale only an hour away in lush, bucolic west Marin. Druid’s Hall in Olema was built in 1885 as a meeting place for the Ancient Order of the Druids. The white clapboard landmark has been beautifully restored with three suites boasting antiques and individual Jacuzzis plus a separate Japanese-style cottage […]

past perfect

Bay seniors in search of a historic night’s sleep might want to check into the Tallman Hotel in Upper Lake, just north of Clear Lake. It is like something out of “Gunsmoke”. Built in the 1870s as a stopover on the stagecoach route to Ukiah, the place has been stylishly restored with antiques, including the […]

floatel

Bay seniors who wouldn’t mind living in the past, at least for a night, are invited to board the Delta King docked in Old Sacramento. This 285-foot wooden paddle wheeler was originally built in 1926 and plied the Sacramento River until the Bay bridges made travel to the capital faster. Now it is a floating […]

jayne mansfield slept here

Bay seniors who’d like a brief dip into a 1950’s Las Vegas time warp should head up to Santa Rosa, of all unlikely places, and check out the Flamingo Resort. Opened in 1957 before Sonoma County was nowhere near as glamorous as it is today, the architecture is as kitschy as a 1955 Cadillac. Close […]

the fairmont for free

Bay seniors who’ve nosed around every corner of this historic town, are likely to have missed the stories that fill the still glamorous Fairmont Hotel. Now is your chance to catch up on how this noble pile atop Nob Hill rose from the soot of 1906. Guided historic tours are free but require reservations and […]

@ease

Bay seniors who fancy spending the night in an impeccably restored inn in the middle of a 1400 acre national park don’t have far to go. Scheduled to open on April 1 (no fooling) the Inn at The Presidio has 22 rooms, 17 of which are one-bedroom suites. Rooms on the third floor come with […]

up a lazy river

Bay seniors still seeking a transcendental high (and you know who you are) are encouraged to make the trek to the Big Sur River Inn and Restaurant. Tucked amidst towering redwoods along the Big Sur river, it has been around for generations. For the deeply lazy, we suggest you ensconce yourself in one of the […]

on top of the world

Bay seniors’ fastest and most visually stunning getaway is on the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais. Even with it’s wide screen views overlooking the Bay, the Mountain Home Inn is often overlooked by locals. Its restaurant will not win any culinary prizes but the price is right and the vistas are awesome. People forget that it […]
