Hotel Yountville
History Steeped in romance and vintage charm, Hotel Yountville beckons guests to a wine country retreat inspired by the deep-rooted history of the Valley. Built around the oldest Heritage Oak Tree in The Valley, Hotel Yountville is a finely crafted experience offering friendly service and genuine comfort, with luxurious details tucked away in the quaint corners of the vintage yet decadent ambiance. Noble in nature and long living in tradition, the trees at Hotel Yountville are a part of the legacy that welcomes guests.
Operating on the grounds of the former Yountville Inn originally built in 1998, Hotel Yountville offers 80 guestrooms. With an original farmhouse structure that pays homage to the legacy of the grounds’ early owners, the property’ s aesthetic stays true to its heritage in design details. The exterior foundation of the wine country influenced retreat is constructed of Napa river rocks, offering a distinct reminder of Yountville’ s forgotten gems, like the Hopper Creek River that runs close by.
Anchored by the resilient roots of an original Heritage Valley Oak, some hundreds of years old, with the promise of new beginnings with every fallen acorn, Hotel Yountville presents Yountville heritage reimagined in a unique hotel experience of culture and comfort.
Heritage Oak The reimagined, signature restaurant of Hotel Yountville, Heritage Oak, is a must-experience classic American breakfast and lunch spot. The culinary team’ s creative and seasonally conscious menu is based on a bounty of fresh produce and ingredients, featured in Chef Inti’ s signature, fresh, homemade jams. Heritage Oak delivers in-room dining via a vintageinspired, three-wheel cruising bicycle with large basket delivering a neatly packed picnic basket of treats.
Utilizing the breathtaking outdoor pool area and promenade at Hotel Yountville, Heritage Oak services the area near an oversized fireplace and outside dining terrace shaded by a heritage oak tree. A refreshing poolside menu with light bites is available upon request.
At the heart of Hotel Yountville’ s lobby is the Lobby Lounge, a comfortable gathering serving cocktails, appetizers and aperitifs. For guests looking to extend their evening, the Lobby Lounge offers an outdoor patio with inviting seating, a roaring fire, romantic candles and a soothing water feature.
