Dr Wilkinsons Backyard Resort And Mineral Springs A Member Of Design Hotels - A historic 1950s wellness resort with mineral pools, mud baths and reimagined spa garden

Located near Pioneer Park in downtown Calistoga, this iconic spa resort seamlessly blends retro charm with contemporary design through original mosaics and midcentury furnishings. The newly renovated Calistoga hotel features three geothermal mineral pools, four mud baths incorporating volcanic ash, and eight mineral soaking tubs. The spa facilities include outdoor treatment rooms set within a reimagined garden, offering CBD treatments, aromatherapy, and falling water therapies. Dr Wilkinson's Backyard Resort And Mineral Springs houses the House of Better restaurant, serving regional cuisine alongside local wines from Kaiser Family Winery, which offers complimentary tastings to guests. The Glass House meeting space provides natural lighting and state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment for corporate events. Design Hotels' wellness-focused property sits just 21.5 miles from Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport.

Pros

Winner of multiple awards including Best Wine Country Hotel and Best Natural Hot Springs in California

Complimentary wine tastings from Kaiser Family Winery offered to all guests

House of Better restaurant recognized as one of the Bay Area's best pie shops

Flexible meeting spaces with contemporary design elements and natural lighting

Cons

Located 21.5 miles from nearest airport

Limited dining options within immediate walking distance

“I'd recommend this retro-chic resort; the main draws are the three mineral pools and the individualized spa treatments, notably the famed mud baths using local volcanic ash. The staff's attentiveness particularly stands out, enhancing the wellness focus while maintaining its convenient location near Calistoga's attractions and restaurants. It's a solid choice for a relaxing wine country escape with unique, community-driven activities.”
