Detailed Reviews
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.

Hotel's Favorite
We traveled to Napa Valley for the first time earlier this month. Meadowood was recommended to us by very good friends who had stayed there many times before the pandemic and before the Glass Fires of 2020.We were so impressed by the resort and the staff. Two months before our arrival we were contacted by the concierge staff to help us with reservations for wineries and dinners. The concierge staff was extremely knowledgeable. They also help us get discounted wine tastings and in some cases they were even complementary. Everyone on the staff was courteous and respectful. In addition, we had the impression that everyone actually liked working there! Rare in today's world!
Yes, the resort was expensive, but you have to expect that for a world class 5 star property.
If we ever return to Napa Valley, there is no question as to where we will stay. Highly recommended!!!

We have stayed at several nice resort hotels in the valley and for this trip we wanted a different experience and chose Meadowood because of its unique environment of an all cabin styled resort hidden in a small wooded valley. This arrangement appealed to us, especially since we visited just before Christmas. Happily our choice was a good one. We stayed in a two room Treeline suite and it was everything we hoped for. Cozy and cute with raised white paneled walls and vaulted ceilings, fireplace, big window seat, and luxe bathroom. There was also a covered porch with two rocking chairs and a café table with two chairs. We did our best to stay in the suite as often as possible and enjoyed feeling like we had escaped to our very own luxury mountain hideaway. One important caveat; it was 70 steps up from our parked car to the front door and I would say that was an average number. Almost all rooms at the hotel require some effort to reach as they are all located on a steep hillside. All guests park near their room thus there is no need for valet service which was fine with us as was the walk up to the suite.
The hotel is full of amenities. There are three pools but only two are heated in the winter months. They are, a family pool, fitness pool, and cabana pool. There is a café that is part of this complex but it was closed during our visit. I like to swim laps and I enjoyed these large pools but thought there was too much concrete surrounding them which took away some of the charm of the otherwise country architecture of the hotel. Also next to the pools is a two story structure that houses a large full gym and locker rooms with sauna and wet areas. A small area used for check in/out is located here but it has no lobby space. Other amenities include several tennis courts, and a very nice spa housed in its own separate building. While these features were great, especially for such a small hotel, the drawback is that they are open to membership of local residences. So while the hotel was very quiet during our stay, the fitness pool was busy as was the gym.
The hotel recently opened a new restaurant that is very stylish and modern looking. The food was a little too fancy for our tastes, even for breakfast so we did not dine there. This restaurant is a replacement for the famed one lost in the large 2020 fire that hit the northeastern end of the valley. The immediate area around the base of the resort is fine but just above the cabins it becomes more obvious. The northern end of the resort is closed with the beautiful Croquet Lodge and lawns off limits to guests for now.
Meadowood is unique as it is spread out with no real focus at the moment such as a useful lobby or main building with a grouping of rooms. Instead it almost feels like a luxury summer camp. We felt its location halfway between Yountville and Calistoga to be ideal. With the charming and very festive at Christmas time town of St. Helena just minutes away.

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.

My wife and I had an amazing time at the Meadowood Napa Valley celebrating our 20th anniversary. The accommodations and grounds were unbelievably well kept and manicured. The staff's attention to detail is evident everywhere on the property but especially in our room. The concierge was unphased by last minute requests for transportation and getting us dinner reservations at some phenomenal restaurants in the area for every evening of our stay. We had a wine tasting day with transportation curated for us by the concierge which was an unforgettable experience. The spa was wonderful. A relaxing day by the pool was actually relaxing and the poolside drinks and food were great. We can not wait to come back!!

Meadowood probably sets the standard in so many ways. Even though they are restoring after a devastating fire a while ago, this place is something special. I think mostly the staff and their care for their guests is really remarkable. The rooms always look polished and new and are architecturally so well designed it is hard to compare. When a place is on the high end of cost it is nice o know you got your money's worth.

Our recent stay at Meadowood Napa Valley celebrating an anniversary and my son’s 10th birthday was nothing short of amazing and such an incredible experience. From the moment we arrived on property and greeted by, Gabriella, we knew we were in great hands. Gabriella was so kind to us and made the check in progress as smooth as can be. Our driver who assisted us to our guestroom, Julian, was so attentive and he thoroughly provided us on details of the resort and recommendations to do around the property. We ran into him a few more times throughout the night and each time was a pleasant experience. We also had the special privilege of dining at the restaurant on property, Forum, and our server, Chris and his assistant were outstanding. We ordered the duck and the scallops, and each dish was cooked to perfection including our specialty crafted cocktails that were incredibly tasty. The five-star service we received in all areas of the resort was everything that you would imagine it to be, and it was truly a memorable experience for my whole family. Thank you to the whole Meadowood team for making us feel so welcomed and all the thought that was put into making our stay so special.

Unfortunately, the Meadowood experience is no longer what you pay for. Sadly, the loss of half the grounds and a membership based resort has changed our visit. There is no longer a beautiful lobby experience or breathtaking grounds to stroll upon on your arrival. You are brought to your pool view room by the valet at the valet stand. The rooms are glorious and stocked with goodies. The pool's service (when available) is focused on the overwhelming number of members. The only restaurant, Forum, is a cute club lunch spot at best. All of the above is an understandable shift but the management has not informed guests of the differences or changed the pricing. The experience is just no longer five star.

The hotel's grounds were beautiful and well maintained, the suite was large, well furnished and clean. The staff couldn't do enough for us to make sure we have all we need. Daily breakfast on our patio was always on time, hot and well presented. All in all, everything a perfect vacation should be like.

The estimated date for completion of the pool construction keeps getting extended. The latest projection is April, but I wouldn't count on it. You might want to check out Solage in Calistoga or Auberge du Soleil in Rutherford.

Hi Dana,

I've never been at the Meadowood on Thanksgiving.
I will say the breakfast in the restaurant is delicious!
