Santa Rosa's The Astro redefines the idea of motels. This striking, modern motel celebrates the heyday of the American motor inn with urban convenience and refinement, with a rich history that gives it a unique ability to comprehensively address both eras. The Astro dates back to 1963, when motor hotels were all the rage; when the facility was remodeled in 2017, great care was taken to preseve the motel's style, from the Atomic Age signage and bold color scheme to the original Mid-Century Modernist furnishings in the lobby and guest rooms. Its striking exterior and interior design has garnered The Astro global attention, including write-ups in everything from the San Francisco Weekly and Sonoma Magazine to Vogue, GQ and Goop.
The Astro's modern roots can be seen, felt and tasted, from the facility's lush edible gardens and farm-to-table onsite restaurant to its California-chic touches, including Sonoma County-made furnishings, snacks and toiletries to onsite bike rental and repair. Its award-winning onsite restaurant The Spinster Sisters features local wines, craft beers, produce and seafood, with rotating seasonal menus to showcase the region's bounty.
Rooms at The Astro are incredibly comfortable, featuring Casper mattresses and pillows, high-threadcount linens and custom bedspreads, full bathrooms, complimentary WiFi and coffee and parking right in front of every room. Room options include standard, double, queen and king, with ADA-compliant rooms also available. Pets are also welcome.
The Astro is located in one of the most exciting, up-and-coming neighborhoods, known for its eclectic shops, art galleries, coffee houses, cafes, theatres and more. The motel is located adjacent to Julliard Park, a public park, community garden and performance space, featuring art and live music during the summer months. Guests are just a short drive away from the area's best wineries.
