The North Block suites showcase vineyard and mountain views, while maintaining the intimate scale that defines this premium property's exclusive appeal.
The Restaurant at North Block, helmed by Chef Juan Cabrera, anchors the hotel's culinary philosophy with seasonally inspired dishes highlighting ingredients from Napa's valleys and coasts.

The intimate spa offers treatments inspired by local ingredients, while the communal courtyard fireplace, pool with sound wall, and hot tub provide serene spaces for relaxation. Exclusive private wine tastings and curated experiences with local vineyard owners elevate the luxury hotel experience beyond traditional accommodations.
