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.”
