If you can’t make it to Napa during your trip, stay at this vino-inspired hotel for a little taste of wine country. Nightly wine tastings and a continental breakfast will fuel your adventures, while the décor’s varying shades of green evoke visions of vineyards. It’s just two blocks to Union Square and Chinatown, but once you spy the French offerings at the elegant (and excellent) Masa’s Restaurant, you may want to stay put.
