THE first Andaz hotel in Northern California, Andaz Napa, has made its debut. Formerly Avia Napa, the newly rebranded Andaz Napa is centrally located in Napa’s revitalised “West End,” providing an ideal setting for visitors to explore, with convenient proximity to Napa’s premier tasting rooms, gourmet dining, shopping and the famed Oxbow Public Market.
“Our location in the epicentre of downtown Napa creates a welcoming destination for guests and locals to enjoy Andaz’s stylish and well-appointed guest rooms, along with a rustic epicurean experience in a vibrant country setting,” said Greg Nomura, general manager of Andaz Napa. “The new service standard of Andaz Napa provides guests with a customised guided journey in this destination, unlike any other hotel in the area, while showcasing all that Napa Valley has to offer.”
As with all Andaz hotels, guests of Andaz Napa are greeted by hosts in the Andaz Lounge upon arrival, and throughout their stay, hosts accommodate, guide and assist guests. The transformation of the hotel’s lobby into a lounge adds in regionally inspired design elements from California architecture and design firm Bishop Pass, and features rustic furnishings and an intricate, wall-length map of Napa Valley.
Reflecting the local scenery, 141 well-appointed guest rooms and suites feature modern furnishings and hardwood floors with an earthy colour palate. Exceptional in-room dining options are creatively packaged in antique tool boxes with rustic ranch-style accoutrements, including beverages served in mason jars. Guests of Andaz Napa, like all other Andaz hotel guests, also enjoy complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic beverages in their room throughout their stay.
Meetings and events can be customised to accommodate groups of up to 100 guests in three dynamic Andaz Studio venues. Other hotel amenities at Andaz Napa include access to Exertec Fitness Centre, a rotating art gallery showcasing works from local artists and Andaz Salon event programming.
