Make the Most of Your Novato Stay

A quieter gateway to Northern California

Novato occupies a strategic position in Marin County, where the pace slows noticeably compared to its Bay Area neighbors. The city's Spanish Eclectic architecture at Hamilton Field—a decommissioned Air Force base now home to the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art—tells the story of its military past, while downtown's Grant Avenue preserves 19th-century buildings including an 1896 Presbyterian church that now serves as City Hall. The surrounding landscape offers immediate access to Mount Burdell's 1,627 acres of hiking trails and protected wetlands.

Business and leisure balance

Corporate travelers appreciate the city's position along Highway 101 and the SMART train system, which connects 3 local stations to San Francisco and Sonoma County with onboard Wi-Fi. The dining scene leans toward polished casual experiences—The Board Room brings steakhouse sophistication with a hidden speakeasy, while Ayawaska Hilltop offers Peruvian cuisine with valley views. Stafford Lake Park provides team-building activities, featuring a premier disc golf course and bike park.

Wine country and coastal access

The city's central location places you 30 minutes from both Napa and Sonoma wine regions and Point Reyes National Seashore. Olompali State Historic Park preserves 6,000 years of California history, from Coast Miwok settlements to a 1960s commune once frequented by the Grateful Dead. The Marin Airporter provides direct service to SFO.
