Hotel Chauvet was originally built in 1906 and celebrated its centennial with a spectacular restoration and renovation, painstakingly accomplished over two years. The Chauvet has just received a prestigious award from the Sonoma Valley League for Historic Preservation.

The result is an historic landmark building with six luxurious condominiums, rejuvenated with locally made brick and reappointed by craftsmen, while upscale interior and state-of-the art amenities have been added.

Each unit is generously sized at almost 2,000 square feet. The large master bedrooms include a huge walk-in closet. The other two bedrooms in each unit are spacious as well. Bathrooms boast designer fixtures, whirlpool tubs and separate, glass enclosed showers, with some handicapped accessible features in Unit 1A and 1B.

The kitchen would please any gourmet, and is outfitted with custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, wine cooler and commercial-style gas cooktop, among other delights.

Of course, if you don’t want to cook for yourself, you are just steps away from Glen Ellen’s “restaurant row” with a myriad of delicious choices and a tasting room…or walk across the street to Glen Ellen’s own gourmet market. A brief walk south brings you to Jack London Village with the local cheesemonger, chocolate shop (made on site), olive press and market, fantastic deli, market of locally produced gourmet items and another tasting room.

Add to this vision the lovely outdoor, heated pool with sundeck patio, accessible from your own wide balcony off the master bedroom, and the views of the surrounding hillsides and native oak trees from every large picture window framed by brick arches.

You will be more than comfortable at The Chauvet at any time of year, with energy efficient air conditioning and heating, a gas fireplace, full soundproofing, elevator access and private garage.

Please note: The pool is open year-round, however is not heated Nov. 1 through Apr. 30, per County regulations.
