Bardessono Experience

Below are details of some of the room features from documents from www.watg.com, the architecture firm.

Furnishings: John Wells of Seattle, designed and constructed bedside tables of reclaimed wood and steel. Evan Shively fashioned guest room desks of Bay Laurel.

Guestroom and public area concrete floor tiles are sourced from Sonoma Stone. Bath and dressing room floors are of orchard walnut milled by Shively.

Salvaged Monterey Cypress has been milled into siding, walnut trees uprooted by farmers at the end of their productive life have been milled into flooring, guest room doors and furniture, redwood wine barrels create ceilings and doors in public spaces, and salvaged California Bay trees were cut into slabs for guest room desks.

My favorite part of the room would absolutely be the bathroom. The finishes are so simple and green.They have integrated massage tables for in-room spa treatments, large closet units for 2 people and in-room safe. The sinks are Duravit and the whirlpool tub has small pinhead size holes at the bottom of the tub that are controlled via a pad on the side of the tub. I much prefer this design, than that of the side jets.

 You can see where there are no carpets, drapes or bedspreads. All lighting and blind controls are done via wall push button pads on the walls. By eliminating those 3 elements, there are less allergens. There is a duvet with cotton cover and these sheets were super soft. The bedding is all down or pseudo down filled. 

Tomorrow, I will write about the restaurants and spa, as well as the other activities in the area.
