Historic Sonora Inn - A Sierra Nevada mountain retreat with rooftop pool and Victorian-era charm
Located in a preserved gold-rush town, this 3-star Sonora hotel sits along the mythic Highway 49, within driving distance of Yosemite National Park. Historic Sonora Inn features Victorian-inspired guest rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and coffee makers, while select accommodations include private vanities and special seating areas. The property maintains a rooftop pool overlooking the Sierra Nevada mountains, open seasonally from Memorial Day weekend through early fall. A continental breakfast is served daily in the ground-floor breakfast area. The Sonora Inn provides a 624-square-foot event space for small to medium gatherings, complete with business services including copying facilities. The property stands steps from downtown's restaurants, museums, and Opera Hall, with Washington Street's galleries and antique shops nearby. The area serves as a gateway to outdoor activities including hiking, kayaking, rock climbing, and skiing at Dodge Ridge.

“What strikes me is its authentic historical charm, coupled with a prime spot in downtown Sonora-expect immediate access to local life. I see a distinctive character in the Victorian-inspired decor and a rooftop pool providing mountain views. For those seeking a taste of the Old West with modern convenience, it presents an appealing option.”
