This Stay at a Glance

Alila Napa Valley is a Hyatt-affiliated resort set directly among the vineyards, capturing the quiet, laid-back essence of wine country. While the property is more intimate than larger resorts, that scale makes for a peaceful, low-key stay. The standout feature is undoubtedly the view of the vines right from your room.

Valet parking is available. It is typically included in the resort fee, but it is best to confirm this at check-in.

Other fees: The standard resort fee is approximately $65 per night. However, in celebration of the 5th anniversary of Alila Napa Valley, the fee is waived for stays booked between March 15, 2026, and March 15, 2027.

Before You Book

The resort has a calm, quiet atmosphere, making it well-suited for those visiting for wine tasting or relaxation. Given the layout of the Napa Valley area, a car is essential; I recommend planning your transportation in advance if you intend to visit nearby wineries.
