Part of the hip and upscale Andaz chain, this hotel is a decidedly modern option amid Napa's often rustic-luxe inns and resorts. With a great downtown location, it offers 141 rooms and suites. Amenities such as balconies, deep soaking tubs, and seating areas are dependent on the room type, but all rooms include sleek decor and freebies like snacks and Wi-Fi; standard rooms are small. Overall, this hotel is a lovely option, complete with a farm-to-table restaurant and access to a nearby gym, but those seeking a spa or spacious rooms may consider rates at a neighboring property.
Scene
Typical for a Napa hotel, the Andaz attracts couples seeking a romantic getaway.
Guests at this property are almost exclusively couples who appreciate the hotel's romantic, albeit small, rooms and convenient location within walking distance of downtown Napa's restaurants and shops. However, unlike many upscale properties in the area, the Andaz is decidedly more modern-luxe than rustic-luxe. The small, sexy lobby features funky leather seating and cool area artwork, such as wood cut-out installations. The rooftop terrace has a similar vibe, with wooden furniture and fire pits. However, true romantic seeking an on-site spa may consider booking elsewhere.
Location
In downtown Napa
This downtown Napa hotel sits on a busy street, but it is nonetheless easily within walking distance of area restaurants, shops, and wine-tasting venues. It has more of a city feel than a country vibe, but that's just why some guests choose it. The Napa Valley Opera House is just a five minutes' walk from the hotel. The San Francisco International Airport is just over an hour's drive (sans traffic).
Rooms
Sleek, modern rooms
There's no denying the modern rooms at the Andaz are sleek; picture plush white beds against leather headboards, pink velvet chairs tucked into spacious work desks, and nature-focused artwork. However, you trade in sleekness for size -- at least in the cramped standard rooms. Nonetheless, these rooms are nothing to sneeze at as all come with coffeemakers, safes, large flat-screen TVs, and freebies like Wi-Fi and minibar items. Bathrooms in particular stand out. Outfitted in marble, they feature large walk-in showers with stools, makeup mirrors, and an array of local toiletries such as toothpaste and various lotions.Upgrading to a higher room category can mean additions such as balconies, deep soaking tubs, and more space.
Features
No on-site fitness center or spa, but the rooftop terrace is a highlight
It's a bit surprising that an Andaz would lack a fitness center or that an upscale Napa hotel wouldn't have a spa, but this property boasts neither. However, guests do get free access to a large gym right next door.The hotel's highlight is most definitely its rooftop terrace, where guests can cozy up around fire pits and dine on light bites. The Andaz also has a bar as well as a farm-to-table restaurant.
