Make the Sonoma Coast yours for the weekend. Hotel Dega is a newly renovated, 45-room boutique hotel in Bodega Bay designed for intimate weddings, full-property buyouts, and coastal celebrations with sweeping bay and ocean views.
Remodeled in 2025, Hotel Dega blends modern comfort with the quiet beauty of the Sonoma Coast, creating a relaxed destination where couples can gather, celebrate, and stay together all in one place. From the moment your guests arrive, the experience feels less like checking into a traditional hotel and more like settling into your own private coastal retreat.
Our light-filled event and reception spaces overlook the bay and coastline, offering a memorable backdrop for intimate ceremonies, cocktail hours, seated receptions, welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, farewell brunches, and wedding-weekend gatherings. Expansive windows, natural light, and panoramic views allow the surrounding landscape to become part of the celebration.
For couples looking to make the experience completely their own, Hotel Dega is especially well suited for full-property buyouts. Bring your closest friends and family together under one roof, create a more private and personal celebration, and move seamlessly from getting ready to gathering, celebrating, and winding down without everyone having to leave the property.
Accommodations include king rooms, queen rooms, double queens, spacious king suites with freestanding soaking tubs, and a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment—providing flexible options for couples, wedding parties, families, and guests. Private balconies and patios, thoughtfully updated interiors, and tranquil surroundings give everyone space to relax between wedding events, while larger accommodations offer additional room for getting ready and spending time together.
Located just off Pacific Coast Highway 1, Hotel Dega is minutes from the beach and steps from the bay, with hiking trails, wineries, local galleries, coffee shops, and sustainably sourced seafood restaurants nearby. The hotel is also next door to Sonoma Coast Vineyards, making it easy to incorporate local wine country into your wedding weekend.
Your celebration can extend well beyond the ceremony itself—sunset cocktails overlooking the bay, a relaxed welcome gathering, morning coffee with your wedding party, coastal hikes, wine tasting, or a farewell brunch before everyone heads home.
Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding, rehearsal dinner, welcome gathering, farewell brunch, or an entire weekend with your closest friends and family, Hotel Dega offers a fresh, private, and unforgettable way to celebrate on the Sonoma Coast.

We stayed for one night and really enjoyed the view and our room. It was clean and spacious and we loved the beds. Our room had a balcony which was lovely. We did not have a chance to use the hottub but it looked really inviting. Definitely wil...

Super easy check in and access after arriving really late during our road trip. They had the ability to check in ahead of time and then texted us an access code for our room door, so we didn't even have to go to the front desk or anything! Room...
was clean and the renovations were really nice! Since we arrived late at night and wanted to continue our road trip early the next day, we didn't check out any of the amenities, but for our purposes of a clean room to stay in for the night it was perfect.

We stayed at Hotel Dega for one night. We stayed in a clean big room that featured vaulted ceilings, two big comfy queen size beds and a view that overlooked the bay. We had our own private balcony that we ate our dinner on while enjoying the v...
iew. The grounds were quiet at night which allowed for a peaceful night's sleep. My only criticism I had was the late check-in time. We had to find something to do upon arriving early. We arrived in Bodega Bay at 2 after a 2 hour drive but had to wait until 4 to check-in. Overall a very pleasant experience and we hope to visit again soon.

We had a great stay at Hotel DeGa and would absolutely book here again. The property was very clean, updated, and had a functional design that made everything feel comfortable and easy.
The location was perfect for us since it was just minutes...
from Doran Regional Park, making it super convenient for spending time at the beach. The price was also very reasonable for the Bodega Bay area, especially considering everything that was included.
One of the biggest highlights was that our booking came with a complimentary personal concierge. Bailey was incredible! She gave us great recommendations, checked in throughout our stay, and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. The customer service was truly top-notch and made us feel well taken care of.
Don’t miss the upstairs lounge—it has beautiful 360-degree views of the surrounding area and overlooks the bay. It was the perfect spot to relax after a day out.
Overall, this was an easy 10/10 for us. I would definitely recommend Hotel DeGa to anyone visiting Bodega Bay, and we’ll absolutely be back for future stays.

We had a wonderful experience at Hotel Dega over 4th of July weekend! We booked a stay to get our skittish dog away from the fireworks, but were so pleased with how much there is to do within walking distance. Doran Beach is a 20 minute walk on...
a nice safe trail, and there is a wine bar and two delicious seafood restaurants just a 5 minute walk in the opposite direction. The rooms look recently refreshed and had very comfortable beds, stylishly decorated bathrooms, a cozy fireplace for chilly nights, and a balcony to enjoy a beverage as you relax and take in a lovely view. We are already looking forward to a future stay!
