The George - Luxury Boutique Inn
A narrow path leads through a white picket gate and into the kind of quiet that feels earned rather than manufactured. The George, a luxury boutique inn set within a restored Victorian residence in downtown Napa, greets you not with a lobby but with a porch, a garden, and the unhurried warmth of a house that has been carefully kept. The architecture preserves the character of its original era while the interiors have been reimagined with a polished, contemporary hand. Crown moldings and period details coexist with modern comforts, and the scale of the property remains deliberately intimate, offering just a handful of individually appointed guest rooms that feel more like staying in a beautifully designed private home than checking into a hotel.
Each room at The George carries its own personality. Expect plush bedding, curated furnishings, and bathrooms finished with thoughtful detail. Some rooms feature soaking tubs, fireplaces, or private patios that open onto the garden. The design avoids trend-chasing in favor of a layered, residential sensibility where quality fabrics, original art, and carefully chosen antiques create spaces that feel both luxurious and lived-in. Mornings begin with a gourmet breakfast prepared on-site, served in a setting that encourages lingering over a second cup of coffee rather than rushing through the meal. The inn's gardens and outdoor seating areas provide additional space to settle in, read, or simply sit with a glass of something local as the afternoon light shifts.
The property's location places you within walking distance of Napa's most compelling stretch of restaurants, tasting rooms, galleries, and shops. The Oxbow Public Market, the Napa River waterfront, and a growing collection of downtown wine bars and culinary destinations are all reachable on foot. This proximity to the town's social and gastronomic life gives The George a distinctive advantage: you return to the stillness of the inn after an evening out, crossing back through the garden gate into a world that feels removed from the bustle just a few blocks away.
What stays with you after a night or two at The George is not a single grand gesture but the accumulation of small, deliberate ones. The flowers cut from the garden. The quality of the linens. The way the house seems to hold its own rhythm, independent of the valley's tasting-room energy. It is a property that understands the difference between luxury as spectacle and luxury as care, and it chooses the latter with quiet confidence.

There's something disarming about a place that trades on intimacy rather than scale — The George feels less like a hotel and more like a well-kept secret tucked behind ivy-framed gates in downtown Napa. The garden is the real anchor here, a fragrant, carefully tended space that sets the rhythm of your stay and pulls you outside before you've even finished your coffee. Inside, the rooms lean into a kind of quiet refinement that nods to the history of the valley without overdoing it — plush without being theatrical, considered without feeling precious. It's the sort of inn that suits travelers who want proximity to Napa's vineyards and restaurants but need a place that genuinely feels like a retreat when the day is done. What lingers isn't any single detail but the overall calibration — a smallness that feels generous.

It felt like a home away from home. Also all our dietary restrictions were taken into consideration by the management and staff. Amazing and will definitely stay there again.

They did a phenomenal job creating a modern hotel while maintaining the old-house character. The bed was so comfortable. My room was in the stairwell but I never heard another person. Clean, comfortable and they make a mean cup of coffee. So glad I stayed here - the George will be my destination whenever I’m in Napa!

A Perfect Place to Stay We booked this hotel for an extended weekend in Napa (Blue Note Jazz Festival). The George Hotel is a wonderful BnB, the property is beautiful- inside and outside. It's located in a safe & wonderfully convenient area, just a few minutes walk to downtown. The property is immaculate, the rooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. Each morning there a selection of hearty breakfast offerings- breakfast casserole, bagels and lox, bacon, eggs, yogurt parfaits, etc., all beautifully presented in the shared diningroom. Do yourself a favor and book The George Hotel for your visit to Napa.

Who we are 45 and 50 couple about to go to Napa for our second visit. Have 3 "winery" days plus a couple of work days.Trip took place-end Sept/beg oct 2009. Fairly traveled but budget conscious. Enjoy beer and wine. Our “maintenance” white is Meridien Chardonnay and our “maintenance” red is Blackstone Merlot, both under $10. Treat ourselves to wines $10-$20 for fun on occasion and consider $20+ a splurge. Enjoy Chards, Merlot, Shiraz, and Zinfandels, lighter Cabs and occasional Pinot Grigio/Sauvignon Blanc esp. with spicy foods, pizza, or eating al fresco.. Before We Left Went to the dollar store. Bought two amazingly-decent wine glasses to have in the room. Also packed a couple of sharp knives for cutting bread/cheese/tomato etc; a spreader knife (for the pesto and hummus we knew we’d be buying at the first chance), one of the bendy, thin chopping boards from the house to use in the room, a few sturdy paper plates, a few Tupperware containers for storing leftovers, a selection of baggies, and some basic cutlery including a corkscrew just in case. We also packed our neoprene wine travel bags for packing any bottles we bought. From past experience, we just knew that after being out all day tasting, the last thing we wanted to do when we got back to the room at night was go out again. In-room “tapas” with a bottle of the wine we bought is so much more fun…and safe. Where we stayed Used points and stayed at Marriott’s Fairfield Inn & Suites in Fairfield, CA southeast of Napa. Flight arrived San Francisco 2pm. Only one hour drive to hotel. (This compared to the almost 2 hour drive we had on a previous visit when we stayed in Fairfield Inn & Suites in Sebastopol northwest of Sonoma.) We had originally planned to stay in the Springhill Suites Napa at the junction of the 12/29 south of the downtown. We passed this hotel on our drive into Napa later and when we saw how “out on its own” it was, we were glad we stayed at the Fairfield even though this meant adding 10 minutes to the drive in. We liked that the Fairfield Inn was next door to 2 pizza restaurants, a Del Taco, 2 mins drive to a Starbucks, and just the opposite side of Interstate 80 to a shopping area with a Costco. All that within about 5 mins—so convenient—so to us, the Fairfield Inn with all these shops close by was worth the extra 10 mins drive compared to the Springhill Suites Napa South. Also there was a BevMo wine discount store in Fairfield which is always worth a stop for great prices. Only drawback might be high traffic volume if you were trying to get into Napa at weekday rush hour, also traffic can be heavy on busy wine weekends as there is only one road that connects the I-80 over to Napa / Silverado Trail etc. Room had separate sitting area with coffee table, TV, fridge, microwave, etc. Great hot/cold breakfast. Gym was small but adequate—one each treadmill/elliptical/bike. What we did Saturday afternoon, drove to the Costco’s and a BevMo to check wine prices. Bought a bottle of Clos du Bois Chardonnay Reserve Russian River—a favorite for $13. ($7 less than what we paid at the winery itself on a previous visit—we learned that lesson, although having said that, there is something romantic about buying at the actual winery.) Saturday afternoon, 3 pm, we went to tourist office in downtown Napa—she gave us some free tasting coupons from behind the counter. Picked up any booklet/magazines we didn’t have. All of them have tasting coupons—and all of them seem a little different. Drove up to St. Supery Winery. We knew we’d be arriving near closing time but wanted to check out their smell-o-rama thing and get “warmed up.” You go upstairs and you can view the winery machinery/storage through their viewing windows. Boards on the wall give you a “self-guided” tour. At the end are two waist-high blocks each with a glass case on top. One case features Sauvignon Blanc bottles, the other Cabernet Sauviginon. Each of the two cases has 4 chutes sticking out from it. You put your noses to the chute and try to smell what the hidden ingredient is. A picture underneath tells you what it is. We covered the picture with our hands and tried to guess. Think we only got two right! It wasn’t as big as I imagined. I thought it would be a room filled with different smells and more information/guidance. It would be OK for a rainy day. Thought the tasting room looked really “ordinary’ but weren’t planning on tasting anyway as it would have been too rushed. Dinner Unfortunately the night before we arrived, we opened a bottle to kick off the vacation. Mistake. Consequently on Saturday night, I was still a bit wined out and really just fancied a beer so we drove to BJs brewpub in Vacaville-about 15 mins north on 80 for beer, salad, and pizza—a chain but excellent. Apparently there’s a brewpub in Napa though—Downtown Joe’s? We’d have gone here but didn’t know. Sunday 27th. We decided to concentrate on Carneros region southwest of Napa, and focus on Chardonnays. This is a region shared between Napa and Sonoma so we were able to use our Visa Signature cards for free tastings for the Sonoma wineries. (If you’re not sure if your Visa is a visa signature, look at the front. It will say it in small writing somewhere.) We started at Gloria Ferrer vineyards—and got a free glass of their bubbly. (Most Visa Sig wineries give you free tasting but it was still worth a stop.) They offer wine tastings by the glass: $2+ per 3oz shot. We were really only there for the Chardonnay so it was a quick one-wine tasting (got a plate of spicy almonds to go with it—very odd as it totally peppered up your entire mouth) but the view from the balcony was lovely. Left and went to Viansa Italian Winery and Marketplace just down the road. Showed our Visa Signature card for two complimentary tastings. There was a tour bus in but it still was OK. It was idyllic—you would have thought you were in Italy—a beautiful setting, ornate grapevine metalwork on the staircase leading up to the house, dripping with vines. Even an outdoor wood-fired pizza oven at the top. Inside is a big deli with two tasting bars at either end. We did the $10 tasting which allowed you to choose any 4 of 6 wines. I chose 4 Chardonnays for an interesting side-by-side comparison. My husband tried a variety of reds. Nothing we tasted was that brilliant but the 100% Sangiovese was the best. Sampled a few cheeses and left. Worth going though. Went to Cuvaison Winery, directly opposite Domaine Carneros. Tastings are $15 or $20 depending on level but cost goes towards purchase (love vineyards that offer this!) and you get to keep the glass. The tasting room looks unassuming as you drive up and is very modern inside. We shared one $15 tasting and elected to sit outside on the large chairs overlooking the vineyards that stretched out as far as you could see—it felt like we had the vineyards all to ourselves! They come out and serve you the wines one at a time—all very relaxed. Cuvaison wines price from $20 and up and the only reason we had drank this was because on a previous cruise, the cruise line lost our bottle and gave us an expensive bottle of Cuvaison Chardonnay to make up. It was unlike any other I had previously tasted—really intense—it just fills your mouth—you just knew it was expensive. So we went here to see if it was as good as we remembered. We bought a bottle for $22. Keep in mind the $15 tasting fee applied towards that AND we got a free souvenir glass, effectively we got a bottle of wine for $7. Maybe 5 or 6? wines in our tasting—all tasty. Worth every penny. If you can put the cost towards purchase, and you get to keep the glass, I think it’s worth it. Dinner Stopped at Whole Foods and Trader Joes on corner of Trancas St/Hwy 29 in Napa. Bought a few slivers of smoked salmon, some Hummus, Parmiggiano Reggiano (the best), some soft garlic cheese, bread and tomatoes. Did in-room ‘tapas’. Opened the Clos du Bois Reserve Chardonnay that we bought earlier and was nicely chilled. Sooooo good and so much better than the regular Clos du Bois Chardonnay-even though that’s also great for the price. Hummus and Chardonnay were made for each other. Didn’t need to use our dollar store glasses as we had the lovely logo-engraved chardonnay ones courtesy of Cuvaison. Monday 28th September Drove to Yountville/Sonoma area. Went to V. Sattui Italian Winery--free tasting coupon in back of small brown “Concierge” booklet. Got there lunchtime. It was interesting to see them crushing the grapes in the gardens outside. Took a brief walk into the very small museum and underground barrels before going into tasting room which was packed. There were a couple of busses outside. I would have hated to have been there on a weekend! They offered two tasting $10 and $15. Ours were free anyway for the $10 tastings. Possibly the worst wines we tasted on the entire trip. Had a few free cheese samples on the way out. Interesting deli though loaded with cheeses from all over. Drove 10 minutes to Frogs Leap for a free 2:30pm tour which I had booked beforehand (about 2 weeks beforehand.) It was a beautiful day. We strolled through the garden while sampling four of their wines. A Sauvignon Blanc-perfect for the afternoon, a Zin, a Merlot, and a Rutherford Cab. The Zin and Merlot were just OK but the Rutherford cab was delicious. I would have preferred to sip the Sauvignon Blanc whilst doing the tour and then come back to “the house” with its beautiful table settings on the patio overlooking the gardens to sample and really taste the 3 red wines. However, the walking/drinking tour was worth doing and enjoyable all the same. Book ahead. A nice change. Dinner That evening, walked over to Strawhut pizza and picked up a tasty veggie pizza to eat in the room. Along with some microwave heated tomato-basil soup, it was perfect. Tuesday Checked out and moved over to Silverado Resort in Napa for the “work” part of our trip. The rate was only $170/nt—Incredible. It was a full condo!!! That night we went to dinner in downtown Napa at Ristorante Allegria. I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable it was. Pasta dishes around $12 and they all looked delicious. Generous-sized Caesar salad for $7. Bought a bottle of Gnarly Old Vine Zin for $30. I would go here again. The beautiful interior made the restaurant seem more expensive than it was—especially if you stuck to the pasta dishes. . Wednesday afternoon. Went to Raymond Vineyards—we were intrigued by a Reserve Cab they produced which scored 91 points and above in over 3 wine ratings. 4 wines for $10 or $15 depending on the tasting level. We shared a $10. A fairly low-key environment—not any type of “wow” factor about the winery but pleasant all the same and we bought the Cab. The Chardonnay was tasty though. Went on to Jessup Cellars- a “boutique” winery in Yountville. We had a coupon for a complimentary tasting. This is a “Wine club member” only winery—doesn’t sale retail or wholesale. This was a phenomenal tasting. 6 wines—every single one of them exceptional—and served with an unexpected cheese sampler. By far, the best tasting, and the best wines we experienced on the entire trip. So tempting we almost considered joining the club—until we saw the prices—way out of our league. Dinner: Stopped at the Safeway supermarket. (If you don’t have a Safeway card, sign up for one, it takes just a minute.) Picked up spaghetti, jar of pesto, tomatoes—what else do you need?—and a bottle of St. Francis Old Vine Zin which we discovered from a previous visit and knew to be sensational—and a snap at $20? Thursday 1 Oct, 2009 Left home to travel onto to Sacramento—about 80 minute drive—for more work stuff. Managed one more stop at a local BevMo’s. Picked up another bottle of a $10 Zin from Zynthesis winery—amazingly tasty for the price. We’ve just had consistently good luck with the Old Vines. Friday 2 Oct 09 Flew home. No wine for a while. For us, 3 consecutive days of tasting is plenty. 2 days leaves you wanting more. 3 = good. 4 and you start to get “wined out.” . What would we do different next time? A cave tour. Hire bikes for a day. An educational tasting—for example the Joseph Phelps winery sensory seminar that another reviewer had mentioned once. I think they ran about $30 but maybe worth the splurge. I liked doing comparative vineyards, i.e. the beautiful traditional, the modern-feel, and a boutique. Also, I liked doing the all Chardonnay side-by-side tastings the one day for a nice change.
