Meadowood Napa Valley

Meadowood is at 900 Meadowood Lane, St. Helena, on a private 250-acre estate east of the Silverado Trail. San Francisco International is roughly 75 miles and about two hours by car; Santa Rosa's Charles M. Schulz airport is closer at around 45 minutes. Downtown St. Helena is a five-minute drive.

Yes, with limits. The spa accepts outside bookings but restricts availability during high occupancy, and every visit requires an advance reservation. Practically, hotel guests and members come first; call ahead rather than assuming a slot.

Yes — guests must be 16 or older to receive a spa treatment. The resort itself welcomes families, with three pools serving different ages.

No — it is already inside the price. Spa menu prices include a 20% service charge, and Meadowood states the full amount goes to your practitioner. There is no second tip line surprise at checkout, which makes the listed price the real price.

No. Meadowood adds no resort fee — an outlier in a valley where $65–$75 nightly fees are standard at this tier.

The Curated Massage starts at $320 for 60 minutes and runs to $636 for 120. Facials span $345–$875 depending on line and duration. The five-hour Meadowood Masterwork day program is $1,520; the Wine & Roses couples program reaches $2,190. All listed prices include the 20% service charge.

The September 2020 Glass Fire destroyed roughly half the resort — the three-Michelin-star Restaurant at Meadowood, the clubhouse, and 50-plus guest rooms, around $100M in damage. The spa survived intact. The resort reopened to hotel guests in August 2021 with 36 of its former 106 rooms; full reconstruction is still working through county approvals.

Partly, and honestly so. The southern estate — spa, pools, tennis, fitness center, surviving cottages — operates normally, and the resort schedules rebuild work to limit guest impact. But the clubhouse and Restaurant are gone until the rebuild completes, and room inventory stays limited. Expect construction-era caveats through at least 2027.

Forum is the main restaurant — breakfast through dinner in an upscale temporary structure between the pool and tennis courts, drawing on the resort's own farm, with a 10-seat bar and outdoor lounge. Terrace Café and in-room dining round it out. The three-Michelin-star Restaurant at Meadowood ended with the fire and has not returned.

No. The nine-hole course has not reopened since the Glass Fire, and the golf shop burned. Tennis (five courts), swimming, hiking, and the fitness studio carry the recreation load instead.

Yes, with one carve-out. Three pools serve different ages and the estate suits kids who like space; the spa, though, is 16-and-over for treatments. Couples dominate the guest mix.

December through February, when entry rates fall to around $1,013 — Napa's "Cabernet Season" is the deal window. Harvest (August–October) is peak, with rates from $2,500 to well past $4,000. Book the off-season for the same spa at a fraction of the rate.

For the spa, yes — it is the best treatment facility in the valley and the fire never touched it. For a complete grand-resort stay, be honest with yourself: dining runs from a temporary structure, and you pay full-estate rates for a 36-room property. Spa-first travelers win; occasion-splurge travelers expecting the pre-fire Meadowood may not.

The format. All eight treatment rooms are private suites — bathroom, vanity, steam shower, window lounge — a floor plan no other Napa spa offers even once. It is also the valley's only Forbes Five-Star spa — a streak now running roughly ten years.
