Mendocino Victorian Hotel

From a recent trip with my good friend Linnea. She was married at the Mendocino Hotel and we got to go back and spend some time taking in the sights that she missed when she was in the middle of a hurricane of wedding madness. The hotel is gorgeous and makes “vintage” as apparent as possible with every nook and cranny and crawlspace they have.
The rooms have precious wallpaper and old fashioned sinks and mirrors. Wood detailing and oriental rugs cover almost every inch of the hotel which also has a fine dining area and bar. The food was amazing (will blog about that later on SugarlovesButter) and they even boast an on-site homemade ice cream shop.
