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
