Following a hotel rebranding and design refresh, The Knoll Hotel Napa Valley, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, has opened. Located in Napa, Calif., this 90-room boutique hotel has a lobby bar, signature restaurant Rootstock Kitchen & Tap, an outdoor terrace and hot tub, a fitness center, and approximately 1,600 square feet of event space. The pet-friendly property offers onsite parking and EV charging stations.
With its proximity to downtown, The Knoll Hotel Napa Valley is a convenient base for exploration in addition to its many amenities. The hotel is located a mile from downtown Napa and the Napa Valley Wine Train and less than two miles from the Napa Yard Beer Garden, Oxbow Market, Uptown Theater and Napa Valley Distillery.
The Knoll Hotel Napa Valley is part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton. The hotel is managed by Azul Hospitality Group, a San Diego-based hospitality management group.
"We're excited to debut The Knoll Hotel Napa Valley, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, which fuses the prestigious wine and outdoor destination with a dedication to superlative quality and service," John Gates, SVP of operations at Azul Hospitality Group, said in a statement. "We've created a serene retreat for guests that perfectly complements the vibrant and breathtaking community of Napa Valley."
Cadiz Design Build, the design firm that oversaw the interior design for The Knoll Hotel Napa Valley, focused on creating a sense of accessible luxury while connecting to the local culture. The artwork throughout the hotel was inspired by graphic design patterns of 1976, the year of the "Judgment of Paris," when the highest scores were given to two vintages from Napa Valley producers. This sparked a revolution that changed the wine world's perception about the quality and potential of California wines.
In the lobby bar, the design focused on bringing the outdoors in, connecting guests with the surrounding natural environment. This was done through ample glass exposure, allowing views into the surrounding courtyard area. Furnishings and finishes came with key luxury details that added a sense of simplicity and created an openness to the space. The warm, neutral color palette is complemented by pops of magenta, puce and sage, evoking feelings of joy, comfort and a sense of play. Curvilinear tables and chairs reflect on natural forms, rooted by abstracted custom area rugs that create biophilic connections to patterns in tree bark and agrarian patterns.
The environmental theme continues outdoors into the terrace and pool areas, where the design focuses on fostering social engagement among guests. Specimen trees serve as a respite for dining and relaxation, and a grand fireplace is the focal point for outdoor gatherings. Pops of green in the furnishings add an element of cheer and tie into the nearby greenery, creating an inviting backdrop for enjoying locally sourced cuisine and cocktails.
The Knoll Hotel Napa Valley's signature restaurant, Rootstock Kitchen & Tap, has locally inspired bites and sips that always pair well with good conversation. The menu features a variety of local seasonal items that capture the flavors of wine country.
The guestrooms have a soothing blend of mid-toned woods in the millwork, flooring and furniture, and fresh pops of color in the accent pillows and artwork. With spa-style bathrooms and small luxuries that add charm and value, The Knoll Napa Valley provides everything needed for a delightful home away from home experience. The rooms come complete with Lockwood New York toiletries, 300-thread count linens, bluetooth-enabled bathroom mirrors, Keurig coffee machines with Green Mountain coffee, smart TVs, and in-room refrigerators.
The Knoll Hotel Napa Valley's fitness studio has cardio, strength and balance equipment. The hotel has over 1,600 square feet of versatile event and meeting space. The pet-friendly property welcomes up to two dogs per room for a $50 additional fee.
