Following a hotel rebranding and design refresh, The Knoll Hotel Napa Valley, Tapestry Collection by Hilton opens today, March 27, 2024 and is now bookable through all Hilton and Hilton Honors channels.
Located in California’s Napa Valley, this 90-room boutique hotel features 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.
The hotel is a mile from downtown Napa and the Napa Valley Wine Train and under two miles from the Napa Yard Beer Garden, Oxbow Market, Uptown Theater, and Napa Valley Distillery. The hotel is managed by Azul Hospitality Group, a San Diego-based hospitality management platform.
“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.” says John Gates, senior vice-president of Operations at Azul Hospitality Group. “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. This was done through ample glass exposure, allowing expansive views into the surrounding courtyard area. The warm, neutral color palette is complemented by pops of magenta, puce, and sage. 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. 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.
The Knoll Hotel Napa Valley’s signature restaurant, Rootstock Kitchen & Tap, offers locally inspired bites and sips. The menu features a variety of local seasonal items that capture the flavors of wine country, and guests can taste locally sourced brews and Napa wines carefully selected from the best vineyards in Napa.
The hotel’s guestrooms offer a soothing blend of mid-toned woods in the millwork, flooring, and furniture, and fresh pops of color in the accent pillows and artwork. 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.
