Hotel's Favourite

Never disappoints

For the third time, my husband and I splurged on a getaway to Auberge de Soleil, and it is a splurge. This is one escape that never disappoints and is worth every dollar. Impeccably clean, expertly designed room, views, amenities, and kind, diligent service, There are hotel items that are often rare but are the norm here: no additional costs of stocked mini bar; fresh fruit in room; lovely fireplace, spacious room; incredibly comfortable bed and pillows, roomy bath and closet; help with every detail; complimentary use of the mercedes of your choice while there, and more.

From the service, to the views, to the in-room amenities, we are thrilled that Auberge du Soleil has a special place in your heart and we look forward to your next visit.

Napa Luxury At It’s Finest

I challenge the well-heeled to find a more beautiful 5 star resort in all of Napa Valley. The service was on par with any of the Mandarin Orientals I’ve stayed at, and the villas were beautifully appointed and oh so romantic befitting it’s French countryside inspired theme. 💕

Dear 1heatherholly, I am so pleased to hear of your positive experience with us here at Auberge du Soleil. I appreciate your kind words, and I hope that we'll have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another stay. Happy holidays! Best regards, Bradley Reynolds General Manager

Perfect in every way

Worth every dollar! The staff is wonderful, attending to every detail to ensure your comfort. They knew we had an awful experience at another (unrelated) hotel the night before and took multiple steps to make our stay special. The property is beautiful, the rooms relaxing (great pillows, linens, beds) and large bathrooms with tubs you can actually relax in for a nice soak. I also enjoyed the view from our covered patio and the fireplace was perfect for the cooler evenings. The location is perfect for visiting other neighboring cities, restaurants, sites. We also enjoyed the food onsite and all the snacks and beverages for us in our room. If we return to Napa we will definitely be back to stay again!

Dear 158shannonf, I am so pleased that we were able to create such a positive experience for you at Auberge du Soleil. I appreciate your kind words and I enjoyed sharing your feedback with the team. I hope that there's another trip to Napa Valley in the works so we may welcome you back for another stay. Best regards, Bradley Reynolds General Manager

Disappointing service

I booked a three night stay in November 2019 in order to propose to my girlfriend. After I booked, the Kinkade Fire ravaged the area causing evacuations and horrible air quality. Though our planned stay was weeks away, I was very concerned a subsequent fire would interfere with my proposal plan so I cancelled my booking almost two months from the intended stay. They sadly still charged me a processing fee for the cancellation. It was spelled out in the email confirmation, but it still feels a little icky that they are profiting from people’s cancellations due to the fires. They also wanted to charge me $600 for the “Proposal Package” which was a simple walk through the sculpture garden (which you can do for free) and have “exclusive access” to a picnic table. Little bonkers but sums up the mentality there. The final straw was completely ignoring my emails asking for the full refund. I’m sure it’s a beautiful spot. Just seems that for the price, you should be treated a little better.…

Dear Nick S, Thank you so much for taking time to provide your feedback. While we sincerely share your concern for those affected by last month's Kincade fire, please know there have been no fires in Napa County. I'm sorry to hear that we will not have the pleasure of welcoming you later this month. Although our concierge and events teams reviewed the details of our Proposal Package with you, I wanted to make sure you are aware of the many service elements that are included to ensure the element of surprise is preserved. Our team carefully stages an area within our romantic olive grove and Sculpture Garden for you to "discover" during your private walk together - a lovely table is set with delicious cheeses, petite sweets, and a chilled bottle of sparkling wine (a custom cheeseboard and knife set gift is also included to serve as a keepsake for your commemorative day together). In addition, we often coordinate a photographer, videographer and/or musician to further enhance the experience. Please do let us know if there is an opportunity to rebook your stay, as it would be our pleasure to assist with creating this special experience for you and your fiancé. Best regards, Bradley Reynolds General Manager

We are considering a stay in Napa Valley in October and are trying to decide between L’Auberge du Soleil and Bardessono. Which one would you recommend or should we split our time and stay at both?

I didn’t stay at either, but the view, service and drinks were amazing at L’Auberge. I would also choose yountville as my next place to stay.

Hello, from Sydney Australia. I am wondering how you would get to Auberge du Soleil from San Francisco? Cost? Length of travel? I hope someone can help me out.

Hello. You are looking at a minimum 2 hour drive from San Francisco to Auberge. While the distance is definitely a factor, the traffic complicates matters considerably. I would recommend calling/contacting Auberge in advance to see if they have any transportation options. Barring that, I'd rent a small car to make the drive (Auberge has parking for your vehicle) as a car service like Uber or Lyft should easily run well over $100. If you are staying many days, maybe the rental car option could tally up as high as a car service would cost, but at least you'll have a car available for touring around the area, etc.

Is a jacket required for men at dinner?

A jacket is not required, but you'll fit the environment better and not be out-of-place if wearing one. Upscale dress is recommended though.
