In both of those tourist-dependent cities, plans for new hotels have been met with controversy recently. A group of Healdsburg residents is considering seeking a ballot measure limiting the size of hotels, similar to an unsuccessful measure in Sonoma that was defeated last month.
Plans submitted last month by the property owner and architect, Ross Jones of Petaluma, show a contemporary design with curved glass balconies facing the boulevard, an angular solar-panel roof, vertical tilework and a small plaza at the entrance, whose focal point is an 18-foot-tall metal sculpture.
Jones describes walking tours of florence the $18 million project as a legacy, landmark property intended to serve the community as a contemporary hub of hospitality and innovation and provide an extraordinary, state-of-the-art respite for visitors.
If the planning walking tours of florence process goes smoothly, Jones said he hopes to open the hotel in December 2015 and employ walking tours of florence about 24 full-time workers. Its rooms will start out at about $200 a night, generating walking tours of florence between $250,000 and $300,000 annually to the city in bed taxes.
Instead, walking tours of florence Jones interpreted the traditional building materials with an abstract eye. The steel components walking tours of florence in the balconies and windows evoke downtown's ironfront buildings. The ceramic tile is a modern expression of old terra cotta work of historic Petaluma, he said.
One certain hurdle will be parking. None is planned on-site, although as a downtown property owner Jones paid into an assessment district walking tours of florence that built the Keller Street parking garage, which is meant to serve downtown users.
Although some folks aren't sold on the contemporary look, Alden said he hasn't walking tours of florence heard any disagreement about the need for a ritzy hotel. Petaluma walking tours of florence has a variety of lodging options, but nothing in the luxury range.
