Glen Ellen's Olea Hotel remodels in wake of wildfires

The 15-room Olea Hotel on Warm Springs Road in Glen Ellen is remodeling following the October wildfires. Along with cleaning the property, upgrades include adding in a pool and new hot tub, rebuilding two cottages, new landscaping and interior upgrades to the entire facility. Olea Hotel has hired Inspired Spaces of Santa Rosa to handle the design of the property.

“We are very excited for the new plans for our property,” said Ashish Patel, co-owner of Olea Hotel. “The unfortunate wildfires that affected our area and property have allowed us to make some major upgrades to the hotel. We feel so grateful to have such loyal customers and friends. We are currently working on construction plans for two new cottages and are in the midst of an exterior and interior refresh. We’re thrilled to create a getaway oasis for visitors to wine country here at the hotel.”

Owners Sia and Ashish Patel are working with their contractor and interior design team to expedite the remodel, with plans to open July 6. “The Inspired Spaces design team is thrilled to participate in the Olea Hotel rebuild,” says principal designer Natasha Stocker. “This is a rare opportunity for reinvention, rebranding and restyling.”

Built in 1900, Olea employs 15 people. It was named Sunset magazine’s 2016 winner for “Best Wine Country Hotel/Resort.”
