About the
Flamingo
As romantic a destination resort today as when it was built, the
Flamingo Conference Resort and Spa has always been the area’s
favorite resort with a strong connection to the glamour of Hollywood
and Las Vegas. The resort offers a wide variety of modern amenities
with the glamorous ambiance of a 1950s summer resort.
The resort was designed to mirror the original Vegas Flamingo
designed by the Los Angeles modernist architect George Vernon
Russell. The original Flamingo’s clean horizontal lines, curving
glass curtain walls and planes of rugged, staggered stone and the
tower with the name “Flamingo” written vertically all were repeated
in this version.
The hotel opened with a gala bash in 1957 and quickly became a
society hot spot and remained the place to see and be seen two
decades later according to a local historian. In 1959, the Flamingo
became renowned by Hollywood as the place to stay north of the Bay.
Movie stars like Jayne Mansfield were often found sunning themselves
by the pool. In modern times, production crews from such films as
“Mumford” and “Bandits” have used the Flamingo as headquarters.
The Flamingo has been a privately owned, family-run business for
thirty years. In 1996, the City of Santa Rosa declared the hotel a
historic landmark.
