About Lodge at Marconi
Lodge at Marconi is a secluded 45-room hotel and event destination perched in the hills above Tomales Bay. Built in 1972, the Lodge at Marconi was originally designed by renowned architect Ellis Kaplan as a timeless space that integrated with its natural surroundings. In 2022, we set out to faithfully restore the lodge with an emphasis on celebrating its history while curating the amenities of a modern resort hotel.
We are operated by Oliver Hospitality, which was founded on the idea that old and new properties alike could be reworked into engaging and thoughtful spaces.
