About Andaz Napa
- Built in 2009 and opened as Avia Napa, the 141-room hotel was Hyatt's first Andaz in Northern California after its September 10, 2012 rebrand.
- The five-story hotel was damaged in the 2014 Napa earthquake and rebuilt to its original design in the city's revitalized West End district.
History
The building at 1450 First Street in downtown Napa was designed by Heller Manus Architects and opened in 2009 as one of the first significant new-construction hotels in the city of Napa proper in many years ; a development that reflected the remarkable renaissance of downtown Napa itself. For much of the twentieth century, Napa the city was a working-class agricultural town at the base of a valley whose wealth and glamour had concentrated north in St. Helena, Rutherford, and Yountville. The revitalization of downtown Napa, anchored by the Oxbow Public Market, the Napa Valley Opera House, and the reconstruction of the First Street riverfront promenade, transformed the city's center into a genuine destination in its own right during the 2000s and 2010s.
Andaz Napa opened as a 141-room urban wine-country hotel positioned on the Napa River edge of this transformed downtown, its design calibrated to the setting ; hardwood floors, wine-country materials, and a relaxed sophistication that distinguishes it from the resort-format properties further up the valley. The hotel joined the Hyatt family formally in 2011 under the Andaz brand, aligning it with a lifestyle-hotel platform whose culture of complimentary amenities fit naturally with Napa's culture of abundance: a glass of wine on arrival, daily wine tastings hosted in the lobby, and live music that makes the barista bar and cocktail lounge feel like an extension of the tasting-room circuit just outside the front door.
The farm-to-table restaurant, fire-pit terrace, and wine bar give Andaz Napa a food-and-beverage program dense enough to anchor a stay independently of any winery visit. The proximity of the Oxbow Public Market ; an eleven-minute walk ; and the Napa Valley Opera House next door reinforce the hotel's downtown positioning. For travelers who want Napa Valley without renting a car for every errand, the address remains the most genuinely urban option in the valley.
The setting
Andaz Napa anchors 1450 First Street in downtown Napa's revitalized core, positioned within the First Street Napa district ; a corridor of tasting rooms, upscale restaurants, and boutiques that rose from a mid-century mall into the city's premier hospitality destination. Victorian landmarks including the National Register-listed Winship Building frame the neighborhood, while the Napa Valley Wine Train depot lies nearby. Oxbow Public Market, the valley's beloved artisan food hall, is a twelve-minute walk. The hotel opened in 2009 as an early anchor of Napa's downtown renaissance, offering a walkable gateway to the full breadth of the valley's food, wine, and cultural life minutes from the historic Napa River promenade. 8 miles from Hess Collection winery.
