PB hotel design editorial

Cascading down a Sausalito hillside toward Richardson Bay, a Victorian mansion built in 1885 anchors one end of Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa while a more recent four-storey addition in stucco and stone holds the street edge below — the two structures separated by decades but stitched together by terraced gardens and interconnecting stairs. That layered quality, part historic house, part contemporary hotel block, gives the property its particular character: no two rooms share the same geometry, the same ceiling height, or quite the same view of the marina and the San Francisco Bay beyond. The interiors vary accordingly. Rooms in the new wing run to dark-stained four-poster beds, navy plaid carpet, and wrought-iron balcony rails overlooking the yacht-filled harbour — a maritime register that stops well short of nautical cliché. Up in the Victorian cottage section, the atmosphere shifts entirely: white-painted exposed beams, wide-plank walnut floors, skylights cutting into pitched roofs, and cream linen armchairs arranged toward water views through louvered plantation shutters. The outdoor terrace, visible in the images at dusk, uses laser-cut metal screens and teak-framed lounge furniture around gas fire tables — a contemporary layer added with enough restraint not to jar against the older fabric. The street-level restaurant, Poggio, announces itself with cobalt-striped awnings along Bridgeway, its terrace tables set with white linen against the foot traffic of the waterfront.

"Absolutely lovely stay! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The bed linens were crisp, white and so cozy. The room was fairly large and thoughtfully arranged, I really loved the tall ceilings. Housekeeping was diligent and ensured we always had fresh fluffy towels. They had the most luxurious bathrobes, I loved it so much I ordered one for home. It was so lovely having a room with a balcony that looked out onto the bay. It was absolutely lovely."

"The location is PERFECT!!! Absolutely loved it. The grounds and rooms are just lovely. We had a suite with amazing views of the marina and downtown San Fransico. We were so sad to leave. I will return and stay even longer. Worth every penny!"

"My partner and I stayed in one of the two premium suites at Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa, and unfortunately the experience did not match the price point or the expectations. The view from our suite was beautiful, but that was the only part of our stay that felt worthy of the “best room” category. Service throughout the entire town was disappointing, and the hotel was no exception. Staff consistently seemed irritated by even simple requests and frequently hung up on us when we called the front desk. There is no microwave, no room service, and our suite required climbing roughly 70 steps each time we went up or down. Valet drivers operated recklessly, and retrieving our luggage required multiple calls before we finally asked for our keys and handled it ourselves. When they brought our car around, my partner was so concerned by the way they drove it that she photographed her rims. Dining in town was equally frustrating. Servers rushed us, were not attentive, and didn’t offer dessert — we had to ask several times. We’re the type of people who enjoy long, relaxed meals with multiple courses, drinks, and dessert, but everything felt hurried and dismissive. DoorDash drivers didn’t want to deliver to the hotel, and when they did, the food arrived cold. Overall, the amenities were lacking, the service was rude, and the entire experience made us feel like an inconvenience. For the price of one of the top suites, we expected at least decent hospitality. This is not a place we would return to, nor did it offer the relaxing experience we were hoping for. Ally & Penny"
