The stay
A small hotel under a planted roof, a block from Healdsburg’s plaza.
h2hotel is thirty-six rooms under a living roof of grasses and succulents, designed by David Baker Architects and opened in 2010. Rooms are simple and light, with an organic aesthetic and very little clutter. The plaza, its bakeries and its tasting rooms are a two-minute walk away.
The hotel reports LEED Gold certification for new construction.1 Beyond that, it publishes little about the things in our criteria, so most of this profile is still marked as not yet reviewed. We list it for the building and because the scale is small enough that a request can be heard.
Treat it as a promising, well-placed base, and ask the questions that matter to you before booking.

Worth knowing
- Laundry, cleaning, flooring and fragrance practices are not described publicly.

How we know
What we look for. A third-party certification such as WELL, LEED or a green business program, recorded with its level, and its year where the certifier gives one.
Why it matters. WELL assesses air, water and light in occupied buildings. LEED and green business programs are mainly environmental, with some indoor-quality elements. A certificate records what was designed or checked at a point in time, not what a room is like today.
