VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Having long been considered a pass-through to other popular wine country locales, downtown Napa now finds itself the region’s darling new destination. World-class cuisine and shopping, public art, live entertainment venues, wine tasting rooms ...

Our Inspector's Highlights

The First Street entrance belies an expansive and welcoming lobby lined with seven glass-fronted curio cabinets showcasing retail items and winery partners. Further inside, a central, circular bar takes center stage.
Artistry abounds. From the laser-cut iron-ceiling entry, to the custom grapevine chandelier inset into the lobby sky light, to quarried Napa stone walls, every detail is curated to reflect the hotel’s wine country setting.
A large, custom-made topographical map lines one entire lobby wall and details the valley’s AVA districts.
Each of the five floors in the Napa hotel features in-room and corridor art by local craftsmen and collectives, and public spaces spotlight important works in a range of mediums.
More than 17,000 square feet of beautifully designed indoor-outdoor event spaces allow for a variety of functions, but the crown jewel is the 9,000-plus-square-foot rooftop that showcases 360-degree views of downtown and Napa Valley while also offering a shallow water deck, an indoor-outdoor fitness studio and a small spa for ultimate relaxation.
Sky & Vine Rooftop Bar, with curated bites from celebrity chef Charlie Palmer, is the ultimate gathering spot for guests and locals alike.

Things to Know

Archer is allegedly a real person, and though his identity remains a mystery, his taste, personality and voice are exhibited in whimsical touches, such as Archer’s Playing Cards, a house deck featuring timeless courtesy tips from which hotel staff takes its cues.
Every room in each Archer hotel nationwide features bedside reading: The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Archer’s favorite book) and a tome representative of the hotel’s location. At Archer Napa, it’s 24-Hour Wine Expert by Jancis Robinson.
Asignature element of the Archer brand is the nightly turndown ritual spanning an eight-item rotation of locally curated treats. The destination-specific Napa offerings include regionally made chocolates, cookies and bars.

The Rooms

Six distinct room layouts and design palettes allow for differing experiences. Wall coverings, headboards, artwork and furnishings — all in shades of cream, gray and gold — vary from room to room.
All rooms feature walk-in showers, while the suites also include a large soaking tub and glass mosaic vanities.
Forty-nine guest rooms and suites offer private balconies and/or fireplaces with lounge seating and signature Archer blankets to ward off nighttime chill.
Fully stocked in-room refreshment bars feature local partner Clif Family Kitchen treats, such as smoked paprika pimento toasted almonds and nut-butter-filled Clif Bars.
Each accommodation includes little touches of luxury, like plush mattresses, Frette bathrobes, Malin and Goetz bath amenities, whimsical slippers, Nespresso coffee machines and temperature-controlled wine coolers.

The Restaurants

The Charlie Palmer Collective, led by Palmer and executive chef Francisco Lopez, oversees the hotel’s culinary aspects, including the marquee ground-floor restaurant, a lobby lounge, a rooftop bar, poolside and in-room dining and private events.
Located on the ground floor and flowing seamlessly into the hotel’s lobby is Charlie Palmer Steak. The menu features classic American dishes with a straightforward approach inspired by Napa’s agricultural and viticultural regions.
Menu highlights at the hotel's signature steakhouse include robust cuts of beef served with a choice of sauces and regional seafood dishes. Don’t miss out on the sensational salads and raw bar offerings.
The lobby lounge surrounds the circular bar and features smaller plates, craft cocktails and a variety of local wines by the glass.
