Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa Debuts The Mansion

Exemplifying luxury, innovation, technology, service, and style, the unveiling showcases a number of notable highlights including the historic Mansion guest rooms, the new, standout 5,000- square-foot Alexandrite Suite and the 1,700-square-foot Junto meeting and event space.

Built in 1885 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Mansion was originally designed and built as the private residence of William Barrett, Secretary-Treasurer for the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company. The Mansion and its new offerings have been updated and perfected by a world-renowned design team seamlessly pairing cutting-edge technology, the finest amenities, and brilliant views of the Richardson Bay and the San Francisco skyline.



The highly anticipated launch of The Mansion includes the debut of its spacious, two-bedroom Alexandrite Suite, named for the rare gemstone that is acclaimed for its ability to dispel negative energy and absorb positive vibes from its surroundings. The Mansion can be reserved in a variety of room combinations including a full buyout with or without the 1,700 square feet of contemporary event space that is part of the residence. A secret door, leading to the second floor of the Mansion, has been designed to appear as a mirrored wall but is only noticeable and accessible by those staying in the Alexandrite Suite. As a result, the two-bedroom suite can expand into a private 11-room Mansion, perfect for corporate retreats, destination weddings and multi-generational family getaways. The buyout option includes a variety of amenities such as private check-in, day-use of a yacht, and access to a Mercedes ML350 Bluetec equipped with driver for airport transfers and local travel. Additionally, dedicated concierge and staff are in place to attend solely to guests of The Mansion. Nightly rates for a buyout of The Mansion at Casa Madrona start from $25,000 per night and can sleep up to 24 people.
