A Room with a Brew: Stay at a Microbrewery in Napa

The Calistoga Inn was built in 1887 as a European-style hotel for travelers to Calistoga. Owned by a mother and son duo since 1989, the Inn has undergone a renovation that has brought it into the modern era. The rooms remain "shared-bath" and are simple, clean and quaint, while also maintaining their affordability. Spend time at one of our three bars or dine with us in our newly upgraded dining room or our main patio, which offers the best al fresco dining experience in the Napa Valley.
