This luxury resort hotel is located in the heart of Napa Valley’s Carneros wine growing district. The resort features 85 individual guest cottages with private patios, 24 courtyard homes, 20 fractional ownership cottages, a meeting and special-events space, and a full service spa. The resort’s architecture and landscape work with the existing topography to accentuate stunning views of the surrounding vineyards and agricultural terrain. The design subtly organizes the site to orient guests toward the agrarian landscapes that surround the resort, as well as those created as part of the project. The project includes a new Carneros town square and village center and post office.
