When life becomes overwhelming, a relaxing retreat can work wonders. The luxe Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa, tucked away in the rolling hill country of Northern California, may be just what the doctor ordered. Guests rave about the hotel's top-of-the-line dining, accommodations, service, and peaceful, oak-tree-lined atmosphere. With a setting meant to evoke the French countryside, you're sure to emerge restored from this glorious hideaway.

1	Generous Guest Rooms — The hotel's nicely sized rooms and suites have residential-style amenities such as microfiber bathrobes, a Keurig, and more to make you feel at home during your stay. Duty calls? There's a large desk and complimentary WiFi for the tasks that just can't wait.
2	The Spa at The Park — The secluded on-site spa is a poolside oasis inspired by the ancient rituals of European spas. You'll feel as if you've been transported to the French countryside while browsing the menu of massages, facials, and body treatments, and there's also a fitness center and whirlpool tub.
3	Memorable On-site and In-room Dining — At The Park Bistro & Bar, contemporary bistro fare and farm-to-table California cuisine meet European flair, especially if you opt for a glass of wine on the outdoor terrace. Order it to your room if you're not feeling social.

4	Seasonal Poolside Service — Just like it would be in a European country courtyard, the hotel's elegant pool area is surrounded by foliage and trees, but here, it's situated under the warm California sun. Seasonal poolside service is available in the afternoons with a selection of beverages and a full lunch menu.
5	Wine and Beer Maker Dinner Series — Attend the Lafayette's Wine and Beer Maker Dinner Series to be treated to a presentation from a wine or beer maker accompanied by a specially prepared, multi-course meal designed to highlight the showcased wine and craft beer.
6	In the Heart of Wine Country — The hotel's grounds may be hard to leave, but wine country is a one-hour drive away. Whether you want to vineyard-hop in Napa Valley or Sonoma Wine Country, take a hot air balloon ride, or dine at a Michelin-starred restaurant, the Lafayette is the perfect launch pad.
