Meadowood Napa Valley

Everyone was wonderful. The Forum serves beautiful, delicious meals. Cassandra made fantastic reservations and recommendations.

beautiful property with world class service. Everything is handled to provide a stress-free visit. Don't hesitate to use the concierge service for outstanding assistance with dining and tasting reservations and arrangements for private drivers!

We spent Christmas at Meadowood and had a wonderful experience. The staff truly made us feel welcome - and I mean, really welcome - at reception, in the restaurant, on the premises, and the resort is beautiful. We learned about the fire that happened and how the hotel lost many rooms and their Michelin Star hotel. They set up a temporary new restaurant which was AMAZING. We ate at many restaurants in St. Helena, including Charlie's and Charter Oak, and the hotel restaurant offered the best food and atmosphere; a gourmet experience. We went on a hike around the beautiful property and there are shelves with (aluminium) water bottles along the hiking path. There are 3 swimming pools and 2 amazing hot tubs. Our room was lovely and we appreciated the little goodies we received nightly as everything they produce is delicious; special thanks for the cookies at the gate when we left (ginger molasses). We only hope we can afford to be back once the restaurant and other parts of the resort have been rebuilt. An experience we won't forget.

Stayed for a romantic couple weekend. Top experience all around. Incredible service and amenities throughout. Very smiley and friendly staff who all know your name. Very luxurious rooms. Deep attention to detail. Fantastic restaurant (for breakfast). Responsive concierge service. Incredible Spa experience for my wife. Excellent trails around the property. It's nice to see that Meadowood has so well recovered from the traumatic fire.

Thank you for reaching out. I truly appreciate the clear focus and professionalism in your approach to service. The staff is wonderful, and I always measure a hotel by the first point of contact on the property—the bellmen/security staff. At Meadowood, they were all very professional and made us feel welcome from the moment we pulled up to the gate. We chose Meadowood because of the expansive grounds and its more established history. We wanted a place where we could stay on property to hike, have dinner, and experience a sense of space. I had visited Meadowood several times in the early 2000s, and I remember it having a style similar to some properties in the Northeast—gracious, with understated elegance. The rooms were warm, comfortable, spotless, and well-appointed. Our room, number 12, wasn’t ideally located, being close to the pool, so we could hear people enjoying the hot tub. However, this wasn't a deal-breaker. The property falls short in the communal areas. Despite having 250 acres, the reception, tennis courts, pools, spa, and restaurant are all clustered in a small area, which felt cramped and temporary. In particular, the Forum at night was a disappointment. While the food was good and the service was excellent (Chris at the bar is outstanding and a true professional), there was no atmosphere. As a result, the place was nearly empty when we arrived. We chose to sit at the bar, as I couldn’t imagine sitting at a table in an environment that felt more like an airport hotel restaurant. I'm sure it’s livelier in warmer weather, with the outdoor seating and views of the tennis courts, but on a cold January evening, it felt rather soulless. In hindsight, I’m surprised (and a bit frustrated) that the winter room rates remain as high as those at other luxury properties, given these compromises. If you go, plan on leaving property for dinner.

Beautiful property and greta hospitality!

Loved the layout of the place, the privacy it afforded, and the qality of the appointments. If anything negative, we could have had fewer steps.

Peaceful, welcoming, clean...close to perfection.
