Mineral pools, mud baths, and spa treatments in a retro setting
"A historic Calistoga spa offering a garden setting for al fresco treatments, four indoor mud baths, additional mineral baths, and three geothermal mineral pools — a classic spot for the region's mud-bath tradition." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Instagram-worthy resort with mid-century charms. Features hot springs, mud baths, and various spa treatments. Guests can stay overnight or visit the spa." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"A midcentury-modern Calistoga property with a mineral spring–fed pool and a spa focused on mud treatments, it offers a recently renovated courtyard with bistro tables, lawn games, and a cocktail bar operating from a repurposed shipping container. The hotel displays colorful murals by local artists, retains vintage touches like clawfoot tubs and original brick, and—after renovations in 2019–2020—provides modern conveniences such as mini-fridges and electric kettles; accommodations range from small guest rooms to a five-bedroom 1924 Victorian that sleeps up to 15." - Matt Villano
"A historic mineral-springs property that has been recently revamped, preserving its unique hot-springs character while updating guest amenities." - J’nai Gaither
"The small but mighty onsite restaurant for Dr. Wilkinson’s Resort and Spa in Calistoga, House of Better offers an all-day Southwestern eclectic menu made for snacking, either on the patio, in-room, or at one of the hotel’s two outdoor, geothermal mineral pools. A perfect foil for a hot day in wine country, the fiery chile is celebrated throughout the menu: in nachos, salad dressings, tacos, posole, and even pie. And because pie is always a good idea, the signature apple-chile-cheddar with its crumble topping makes a perfect breakfast or lunch dessert. Tasting flights of dips, salsas, and guacamoles, accompanied by tortilla chips or fresh vegetables, are natural poolside choices. Excitingly, Dr. Wilkinson’s is now available on ResortPass, so you don’t have to stay overnight to get this poolside food experience." - Laura Smith Borrman
