This NorCal Wine Country Hotel Is a Groovy and Glamorous Retro Getaway
15.11.2024 - 09:38 / matadornetwork.com
In the center of a quiet Santa Rosa neighborhood, a stylishly nostalgic and recently reimagined 170-room resort feels like its own little isolated slice of paradise in a bustling California wine country region. Pulling the car under the glossy but vibrant wood-paneled canopy of the porte cochere is like a glamorous, “Mad Men-esque” experience. Arriving at The Flamingo Resort & Spa, I almost expected to see Don and Betty Draper sipping an expensive glass of wine behind the resort’s sleek glass walls while on their own Wine Country getaway.
Of course, that thought wasn’t entirely fantastical. Back in its heyday, this hotel did draw big-name celebrities and the wealthiest of world travelers to enjoy the privacy and luxury of the Flamingo’s oversized pool and flourishing courtyard spaces. It’s name may have had something to do with that. This property was named after the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas (sidenote: Vegas’ Flamingo is one of my personal favorite properties in the world just for its awesome vibes, iconic history, and unparalleled location on The Strip) in an effort to draw tourists and increase interest to growing attractions in the Santa Rosa area like the wineries that are now so legendary. Today, it’s admittedly a bit more approachable than the Hollywood elite may prefer but still preserves its sense of serenity and “authentic vintage chic” atmosphere.
To enter the resort, you’ll step through the art-deco entryway into the lobby, where a noisy (in a good way) mural immediately draws the eye and makes the space feel like a tropical oasis. The property’s signature colors — primarily hot pink — politely scream “playful,” while the refined, retro interiors and existing mid-century-modern exterior architecture that can be seen throughout the rest of the property balance out the spirit with a sense of California-casual relaxation.
You can’t miss the original neon sign that’s still standing today in the form of a tall, three-sided pylon with metal letters and neon backlighting spelled out “Flamingo,” topped by a stylized flamingo. It was designated by The City of Santa Rosa as a local landmark in 1997.

The whole resort is set on a vibrantly lush, uniquely wheel-shaped 10-acre campus with plant life galore, giving it a sense you’re in the jungle even though you’re just minutes away from some of the world’s most famous vineyards.
And the “wheel-spoke” design of the hotel is special in itself as it’s said to be one of only three of its kind known to

This Beloved Ginger Ale Is Made With a Dozen Ingredients
The Danish brand Vipp was founded in 1939 with a single design: a waste bin. In the decades since, its product line has expanded to include a full furniture range, lighting and home accessories. In 2014, Vipp opened its first guesthouse, a contemporary prefab cabin near Lake Immeln, in southern Sweden. It now runs nine vacation rentals in Europe and, as of today, is taking reservations for its first in North America, a five-bedroom home in Todos Santos on the Pacific Coast of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. Sofie Christensen Egelund, the third generation co-owner of Vipp, was introduced to the region by the Mexico City-based architect Pablo Pérez Palacios, who’s behind the property’s design. The 3,800-square-foot home has a rooftop pool and open interiors that highlight natural materials: The walls are made of rammed earth, while window shutters are woven from branches of the local Palo de Arco tree. Furnishings include some of Vipp’s own pieces as well as the brand’s signature kitchen, a modular system with minimalist hardware. Pérez Palacios sees the final space as “an ongoing dialogue between Mexican and Danish design sensibilities.”
