Lodge at Marconi is an upscale, Northern Californian coastal retreat managed by Oliver Hospitality. It results from the multi-million dollar, 17-month-long renovation of a former conference centre, with interior design by New York-based Home Studios, and grants visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of West Marin County.

Showcasing a modern aesthetic, and named after inventor Guglielmo Marconi, the lodge offers 45 accommodations. Influenced by the local Third Bay Tradition architectural style – which draws on farm buildings and California ranch houses – the property’s buildings house tranquil rooms and suites that discourage digital distractions, omitting televisions to enhance the connection to the environment.

Natural woods and textiles throughout the interiors render a cohesive feel. Custom furnishings, such as a ceramic sconce by Ben & Aja Blanc, feature alongside carefully chosen objects, such as a tall teapot designed by Linda Fahey, ceramic artist and founder of San Francisco’s Yonder shop, as well as wall cube art inspired by Stuart Arends and a custom wall tapestry created by Los Angeles studio Lookout & Wonderland.
