The Best Yountville Hotels
Hotel Yountville – full room tour here
Located on the main street, just minutes from Yountville’s best restaurants (find them below), this boutique hotel promises a relaxing wine country retreat and in my opinion is the BEST Yountville hotel. The hotel features 80 casual-chic guest rooms – equipped with fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, four-poster beds, and jetted tubs. The property also offers a full-service spa, a courtyard pool, event spaces, and assorted freebies (Wi-Fi, wine tastings, and loaner bikes among them).
Sitting at the southern end of town, Hotel Yountville enjoys a convenient main-street location and offers on-foot access to many acclaimed restaurants and wineries. Hotel Yountville has some truly incredible features for a boutique property. It boasts a 4,000-square foot spa containing six treatment rooms -> two of the treatment rooms are couples’ suites (that I had the opportunity to experience with the fisherman) with Vichy showers and double hydrotherapy tubs. The heated pool is a MAJOR highlight, edged with loungers and the adjacent bar and restaurant. Other features include a 24-hour front desk with concierge capabilities; dry-cleaning/laundry, twice-daily housekeeping, and basic business services. Freebies are also extensive and include newspapers in the lobby, hotel-wide Wi-Fi, and tastings at partnered wineries throughout the valley.

Set on a Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard, Napa Valley Lodge has countryside ambiance galore while also being a mere 10-minute walk from the town of Yountville. The 55 rooms here come with private balconies and coffeemakers, and some spaces have fabulous views of the surrounding vineyards. There’s no restaurant on-site, but the hotel can arrange reservations at nearby spots. A tiny gym and breakfast room (don’t skip the free breakfast) are on the property as well, as is a spa that offers facials, body treatments, and massages.
A large fountain and a covered half-circle driveway mark the entrance to the inn. A den-like sitting room is adjacent to the common area, with the requisite comfy couches and fireplace and Napa Valley-related literature. The hotel appears to be geared toward wine-centric tourists, as are most hotels in the area and is popular with couples on Napa Valley getaways. The property is surrounded by hills and vineyards and vine-covered trellises — a luxurious, relaxed atmosphere.
The hotel, located on the outskirts of Yountville, is a 10-minute walk from the downtown area. Across from the property are several high-end restaurants and a gas station with a wine, snack, and magazine store that opens up onto the street. A vineyard separates Napa Valley Lodge from the main thoroughfare that leads to the small city of Calistoga, and there’s a quiet neighborhood on the opposite side of the hotel. The location is convenient to the wineries that lie along Route 29, and it’s also right on Yountville Cross Road, which connects Yountville to the Silverado Trail on the other side of the valley.
