The Murieta Inn and Spa

What The Murieta Inn and Spa does

The Murieta Inn and Spa is a privately held, full-service resort located at 7337 Murieta Drive in Rancho Murieta, California, approximately 30 minutes from Sacramento. Founded in 2015 and operating with 51-100 employees, the property offers hotel accommodations (One King, Two Queen, Parlor suites, poolside and balcony rooms, and ADA-accessible units), an on-site full-service restaurant called The Gate (brunch and dinner under Executive Chef Javier Vega), the Murieta Café at the adjacent Equestrian Center, and the Cupola Spa & Salon offering massage, facial, body, hair, and nail services. The property holds a AAA 3 Diamond rating, a TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice 2026 award, and Historic Hotels of California membership.

The business is built on a bundle of differentiated access relationships: it serves as the official host hotel for the Murieta Equestrian Center (which hosts 52+ horse shows and 180,000+ visitors annually), operates the only non-member access channel to the private Rancho Murieta Country Club via its golf package, and provides a private shuttle to Amador Wine Country vineyards. Ancillary revenue is generated through spa services with treatment prices ranging from $40 (manicure) to $450 (Ultimate Skin Game Changer facial), wine tours at $720 per group, dog packages at $100 per room, daycation passes via ResortPass, gift certificates, and meeting/event venue rentals.

The technology stack is standard hospitality SaaS: Cloudbeds for property management and direct online booking, Boulevard for spa appointment booking, and Toasttab for restaurant reservations. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer with multi-channel marketing (website, social media, email newsletter, Eventbrite events, and third-party listings). The customer base is fragmented across leisure travelers, families, equestrian event attendees, golfers, wine country tourists, wellness consumers, and corporate/event planners, with no enterprise anchor accounts.
