What It’s Like to Stay at the Four Seasons Napa Valley

You’ve likely heard of the Four Seasons — yes, the ultra-luxe hotel brand that inspired and served as the backdrop of three seasons of “The White Lotus” — and Napa Valley, California’s wine country. But when those two bastions of luxury converge? Now that’s the stuff of dreams.

For Valentine’s Day weekend, my partner and I got the opportunity to go on a two-night hosted stay at the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley, and the experience somehow surpassed the expectations I’d had in my mind. But I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised; countless celebrities have been known to frequent the Four Seasons, and this relatively newer property (it opened in 2021) made headlines in 2025 when Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and Bry Burrows rented it out for their wedding weekend.

To perhaps a lesser extent than Hurts and Brown, my partner, Nicholas, and I had a Valentine’s weekend at the property that was unbelievably romantic. Think: sparkling rosé upon arrival, a soak-in tub in a very sexily outfitted bathroom, and impeccable service that made us feel like royalty. It was immediately clear to me why the rich and famous choose the Four Seasons again and again. Here’s a little peek inside.

About the the Four Seasons Napa Valley

What I Liked About the Four Seasons Napa Valley

If you don’t know much about Napa Valley, take it from someone who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and knows the area well: Calistoga, where the Four Seasons is located, is gorgeous and unique. It’s a bit more rustic and private than other, more touristy wine spots like Napa, and it’s known for its natural hot springs.

The property itself embodies the private, luxe feeling of the entire surrounding area. The guest rooms are actually their own townhomes: we had our own balcony, a spacious living area, two bathrooms, and a gorgeous bedroom that overlooked the mountains. The bathroom was my favorite aspect of our not-so-humble abode: it had stunning side-by-side vanities and a huge, soak-in tub with a separate shower — so spacious that I joked that my entire apartment could fit inside it.

Throughout the weekend, we were surprised at how quiet the grounds felt, and figured that most folks were just spending time in their own townhomes, given that everything you need for a relaxing weekend is at hand there, from a switch-on fireplace to one of the comfiest king beds I’ve ever experienced. The discreet nature of the place made it clear, again, why celebrities love it here.

And just like you’d imagine any talent-ready getaway to be, service at the Four Seasons is impeccable. For one, our room was equipped with an iPad where we could chat with hotel employees at all hours of the day, requesting anything we might need (my partner opted for memory foam instead of a feather pillow, for example). Hotel staff were always at the ready to drive us around the grounds on their golf carts, and the staff at the Spa Talisa went above and beyond — we had a nap-inducing couples’ massage on our last day on the property.

The hotel also did an amazing job of planning an unforgettable itinerary outside the grounds. Of course, the main draw of a trip to Napa is generally what the area is known for: wine tasting. The Four Seasons scheduled an exclusive, food-pairing wine tasting for us at Darioush, an upscale winery, and the experience was one of the highlights of our entire weekend. The concierge even organized a designated driver to drive us to and from the property, which let us enjoy the day worry-free.

As for dining on property, we ate at Truss, an American restaurant, several times during our stay. We loved how varied the dining experience was: we ordered delicious breakfasts directly to our room, where we could graze leisurely; experienced a fireside chalet dinner one night, replete with comforting bites like artichoke dip and short rib; and sat inside the modern, design-y restaurant for a three-course Valentine’s Day dinner.

Is the Four Seasons Napa Valley Worth the Splurge?

If you want to celebrate a big event in wine country — a special birthday, an engagement, something of the like — then I can’t imagine a more fitting place for the occasion. Napa Valley is known for its upscale and gorgeous hotels, but the Four Seasons truly offers a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling like you got the celeb treatment.

I feel lucky to have gotten to experience it, as it certainly wasn’t our run-of-the-mill weekend trip. To get to commemorate our love with the most beautiful backdrop? There’s nothing better.
