Near Sheraton Suites Country Club Plaza Hotel:
The Country Club Plaza is a really neat outdoor shopping area with Spanish influenced architecture, lots of restaurants, and all within walking distance. Some of our favorite restaurants include: Jack Stack BBQ, Gram & Dun (great brunch and cute patio!), and Cooper’s Hawk Winery.
