Zink Magazine
Napa is ripe with activities to get travelers out and about, but once inside the enchanting Milliken Creek Inn all else fades into the backdrop. Tucked away on the three lush acres overlooking the tranquil Napa River, this five-star inn has but 12 charming suites. The on-site spa is only available for guests and the stress-melting 90-minute Grapeseed Body Polish and the decadent Rose Delight Facial are worth the trip to California alone.
Conde Nast Gold List 2008The Best By Rooms. This tranquil, out-of-the-way retreat - a nineteenth-century stagecoach stop - sits on the Napa River near the Silverado Trail, but you have to drive to good restaurants and vineyards. Redwoods and Japanese maples fill the landscape, while perfect-scoring very pretty rooms embody modernism with brown, white and green tones together with fresh orchids and refurbished bamboo floors.
