A comprehensive resort in the valley — opened in 2021 in Calistoga with vineyards running directly to the property edge, a full-service spa, multiple pools, and an all-day dining concept (Auro) that takes local sourcing seriously. ideal for guests who want a self-contained luxury resort experience with Napa Valley's best winery corridor on the doorstep.
Why We Chose It
The Four Seasons Resort Napa Valley opened in late 2021 in Calistoga — the first significant new luxury resort in the valley in years, and one that immediately set a new standard for design and vineyard integration. The 85 rooms and suites are beautifully appointed in California modernist style. The property includes its own working winery (Elusa), whose Cabernet Sauvignon is served at the resort and available for purchase. The Spa Talisa is excellent. The on-site restaurant Auro is one of the better hotel restaurants in the valley. The Calistoga location means easy access to the valley's best spas and hot springs at Indian Springs, a 10-minute drive. The most technologically sophisticated and best-maintained facilities of any Napa resort.
