Our Favorite 7 Hotels in Napa Valley’s Chillest Town


Hi Reader,

Napa Valley is the summer hotspot for wine lovers. But if you want all the wine in this California wine region without the crowds, the tiny town of Calistoga is your move.

Tucked at the northern end of the valley, Calistoga is slower-paced with a charming downtown, incredible hiking, and those oh-so-famous mineral baths. It’s ideal if you want a little wine with your wellness, or a romantic getaway with a side of adventure.

✨ Whether you're craving a wellness weekend, a wine-soaked escape, a Michelin meal, some time to recharge, or a bit of it all, Calistoga’s got a spot for you. We're sharing seven hotels our travel clients have given the thumbs up to from a historic b&b to modern midcentury roadhouse and no-holds-barred 5-star luxury resorts.
