Lodi’s best hotel, restaurant and spa conveniently share a leafy 7-acre enclave, the site of entrancing gardens and graceful living since 1902. Wine & Roses’ current owners, who took over a 10-room bed and breakfast in 1999, have steadily expanded its accommodations and amenities while setting a sophisticated standard for the Central Valley.

Setting: Although suburban homes have risen around the site just off busy West Turner Road, tall trees and hedges make it feel like a world unto itself. A half-mile east lie farms and vineyards; a mile west is Lodi Lake. School Street’s restaurants, pubs and shops are less than 10 minutes by car.

The appeal: All-in-one oasis, with luxurious but low-key vibe. The 66 rooms and suites in low-rise buildings come in four styles, with many individual variations, from the vintage inn to rustic luxury Garden rooms, serene Spa rooms and rich-hued, modern Palm rooms. Renowned Bay Area chef Bradley Ogden, a two-time James Beard Award winner, oversees the menus of the regionally focused Towne House Restaurant and its adjacent lounge, which offers nightly music. In the spa, organic products and well-priced services attract a devoted clientele.

Insider’s tips: Among the spa’s most popular body treatments is the Sticks and Stones massage, employing sculpted basalt stones and birchwood massagers ($115 for 60 minutes, $170 for 90 minutes). Spa customers with services costing $100 or more may also use the large, sunny pool on another corner of the property, otherwise open only to hotel guests.
