The Best Hotels in Napa Valley, From a Stagecoach Stop-Turned-Boutique Hotel to a Luxe Italian-Inspired Stay
"Regarded by return guests as the kind of place where a need is met before even requested, what sets this lauded Northern California-meets-South of France refuge apart is the slightly remote location perched on a sun-drenched hillside olive grove in the unassuming town of Rutherford, and unparalleled sophistication. Designed by San Francisco–based interior designer Suzanne Tucker, maison rooms and villas resemble light-and-airy French chateaus with light oak floors and hand-carved headboards, while the newly reconceived bar and Michelin-starred restaurant also reflect Tucker's touch with bronze-framed floor-to-ceiling doors and windows to accentuate sweeping valley views. In the Parc du Soleil sculpture garden, explore more than 100 works by 60 California artists, or soak up the rays by a 72-foot-long ozone pool that uses a water-purification system to reduce harsh chemicals and pathogens." - Jennie Nunn
