Zzzzs: Impossibly soft, fresh white bedding and the hotel’s famous pillow-top Heavenly beds make this one hotel where you may sleep better than you do at home. Little vials of jasmine oil, tucked on top of your pillow, help set the mood for slumber.
Splashes: A refined bathroom spacious enough for the whole family at once may tempt you to linger in the soaking tub or glass-enclosed shower, enjoying the white tea aloe soaps and bath products. Of course, the biggest splash is the large and inviting saltwater pool and hot tub.
Extras: Foodies flock here for Ken Frank’s La Toque, often hailed as one of Napa’s best restaurants. Families may prefer the more casual Bank Cafe and Bar, where you can tuck into the wild mushroom-filled forager’s omelet and candied almond-spiked waffle topped with huckleberry compote. There’s an on-site spa and bocce courts, too. This Napa hotel is not framed by pastoral vineyards, but there’s complimentary wine tasting daily in the lobby.
Details: Rates run $299 to $899. 1314 McKinstry St., Napa; www.westinnapa.com
