Sonoma, CA – Bungalows 313…
Bungalows 313
Why You’ll Love It
- Located a half-block from Sonoma Plaza
- Private balconies and patios
- Euro-styled décor
Wine country villas seem like a good idea until your drive into town takes 45 minutes. From the doorstep at Bungalows 313, it’s just a half block to Sonoma Plaza’s array of shops, eateries, and tasting rooms. Keep your wineries close, but your sights to see closer.
At Bungalows 313, both the Vita and Terra have kitchens, so you can try your hand at an amuse-bouche you might discover if you head out on a wine tour. And when twilight takes hold of wine country, your outdoor patio is a spot to take in the scenes.

West Hollywood, CA – The Charlie…
The Charlie
Why You’ll Love It
- Charlie Chaplin’s former estate
- English-style cottages and gardens
- Full kitchen and in-unit washer/dryer
It used to be Charlie Chaplin’s estate. Transformed into what the LA Times described in 2010 as “fairy-tale cottages,” this West Hollywood hotel with flowering gardens is designed to host privacy with a nod to big-screen mystique.
Marilyn. Gregory. Steve. And of course, Charlie. Here, suite names don’t just distinguish one from the other; they point to bygone days of celebrity guests. You may want a quiet place to hash out that big pitch. Or just a vacay. Either way, The Charlie welcomes your stay.

Why You’ll Love It
- Named one of Washingtonian’s 100 Very Best Restaurants in 2012
- Mussels, tartare, escargot, and more
- Hand-crafted champagne cocktails
Steaming mussels in tomato-leek fondue. Ribeye steak and savory sweetbreads. One of Washingtonian’s 100 Very Best Restaurants in DC for 2012, Bistrot Le Zinc strives to bring the best of France to you.
As simple as salmon with gala apple. As gourmet as escargot in bordelaise. You might warm up with french onion soup or delight in cointreau crème brûlée. And if you sit upstairs, you can even watch the chefs create your dish in the open-view kitchen.
