Napa Valley is known worldwide for its prized vineyards, but it’s the charming town of Calistoga at the region’s northernmost tip that offers its own alluring reasons to visit—rejuvenating natural hot springs, boutique-lined shopping strips, stellar hiking trails, and irresistible eateries.
Beyond its geothermal geysers and relaxing spas, Calistoga has a plethora of swanky resort-style retreats, so no matter how you define relaxation, this collection of hotels has got you covered.
After a day of sipping and seeing, slip into a state of deep relaxation at these Calistoga retreats’ detoxifying hot pools and mud baths—some of Northern California’s most-prized and best-kept secrets.
Operated by the same family since 1952, Dr. Wilkinson’s Backyard Resort & Mineral Springs has welcomed guests with the same iconic neon sign for more than six decades. Renovated accommodations have a comfortable, mid-century modern feel, and groups can even reserve a restored 1924 Victorian house that sleeps 15. Millions have experienced the spa, which boasts three geothermal pools brimming with natural mineral water, and many guests enjoy the indoor mineral pool as well, which is kept at a balmy 104°F.
Insider Tip: Sink yourself deep into a mud bath in one of the garden’s open-air spa tubs—their proprietary mud mixture includes organic Canadian peat mixed with volcanic ash from nearby Mount St. Helena, topped off with warm natural mineral water.

Named after Calistoga’s advantageous northern placement within the Napa Valley, the UpValley Inn & Hot Springs is a boutique wellness destination and Napa fan-favorite. UpValley’s pool and hot tub are 100% natural mineral water—fed by the on-site geothermal well and the steam room is refreshingly scented with essential oils. Make it a day at any of the surrounding wineries, take a complimentary cruiser bike for a spin, or hike the Oat Hill Mine Trail that’s a quick five-minute walk away from your room.
Insider Tip: If you prefer a more secluded accommodation with all the hotel amenities, book UpValley’s “Hidden Apartment”—a private, smartly furnished one-bedroom space that’s away from the après-winery hubbub.

The Craftsman Inn, named for its charming architectural style, is everything you could ever want from a boutique accommodation option. Amenities are in no short supply here with jet tubs, king-size beds, and l’Occitane bath products. Guests will find several cozy corners to retreat to for a glass of wine and a chat. Settle in on the wrap-around front porch, more secluded back porch, or in one of the shady gazebos for a moment alone. While the Craftsman Inn is more akin to a B&B, you’re just steps away from spas and restaurants in the heart of Calistoga.
Insider Tip: It’s possible to rent the entire inn for those traveling in a group. With 13 bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen, and multiple outdoor spaces, this is the perfect backdrop for an intimate wedding or a girls’ trip to Napa.
