Solage, Auberge Collection

Wine country is our backyard, so we've had a chance to check out a good number of the hotels in this approximate category -- Stanly Ranch, Carneros, Bardessono, Estate Yountville, Montage Healdsburg, etc. While there are a few negatives, Solage is still clearly our favorite and the one that calls to us time and time again. As a foodie couple with no kids who appreciate quiet / privacy: - We love that the Spa area is adults only. Can really get some quiet r&r whenever we want. - Private terrace for most rooms (except for base rooms), some with fire pit. Not sure if others care but this is *huge* for us, and a rarity. - Solbar is actually good -- it doesn't feel like a compromise for convenience to eat at the hotel. Dinner service is without exception top notch, and the food is always delicious, ambience always comfortable and romantic. Brunch is uneven (both food + service), but it's "good enough" and its also beautiful sitting out when the weather is nice. - A lot of the better food is further north (Charter Oak, Press + Under-study, Thomas Keller restaurants, etc) closer to Calistoga. The 20 minute food radius is hard to beat. - Rooms are charming, if a little lacking in luxury compared to some other places - Spotless rooms, great turndown service, always functional. - Pickleball courts are also a huge plus for us, it's fun to mix it up. - Gyms, great mix of cardio + weights, roomie enough. - Overall vibe: more fun and sunny, less stuffy and pretentious. It's hard to put your finger on it but Solage just nails the vibe thing that others don't seem to quite get right. - Generous with Amex FHR upgrades. We even got upgraded once on a Hotwire reservation. Thanks for not being stingy when you have vacancies ＜3. It's classy and that's how you build up super loyalists. If we had to nitpick - Service was always acceptable, but a bit uneven. Sometimes 5*, sometimes 3* / 4*. Places like Montage Healdsburg tend to be flawless end-to-end. This bothered us a little, and would be the only meaningful detractor for staying here in the future. - The rooms are not as luxurious and new as Stanly Ranch and Montage Healdsburg. It's noticeable. Even the soaps and shampoos seem not as nice as many other 5* establishments (Four seasons, Park Hyatt, etc). Overall it can feel like 4.5* but if you don't mind and go in with that expectation it's just fine. - The biking around there is meh, but Calistoga is cute and more charming than Yountville in our opinion. - Some rooms are a bit close to road, and others close to pool (when music can get loud), so if you're sensitive just indicate. All in, it is still the wine country favorite for us.

Amazing service, greeted by name everywhere we went. Beautiful setting, great rooms with fireplace, courtyard and fountain. Comfortable beds too! The bathhouse experience was amazing as well. They even drove us to our wine tasting appointment which was amazing and unexpected!

Beautiful resort! Relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Very clean and rooms are very well appointed. Stay was two nights but wished it had been longer. Transportation to town and back at night was a plus.

We had an amazing experience at Solage. Casual, chic, comfortable, and wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for a better Fall get-away! We ate in the restaurants, had requisite spa treatments, and enjoyed both pools. It was a truly delightful experience!

Just perfect in every way. Great place to feel pampered and indulgent. Staff were amazing and helpful in every way. Massages were dreamy. Rooms were spacious and relaxing. Poolside cocktails and food to die for. We obviously had an amazing time!

Our resort, was the Auberge Solage resort . I really think we scored because we arrived on a Monday we were upgraded to a cottage with its own private Jacuzzi. The accommodations were amazing. It was a separate cottage with a living room room, separated by a wall and then the main bedroom and bathroom. The unit had a fireplace, a mini bar a desk a walk-in steam shower bathtub and double sinks. The yard was good sized with a nice lounge area and of course the Jacuzzi was a big plus. Service at the resort was impeccable. We had a spa day on Wednesday where we had a couples massage and then hung out in the bath house for the rest of the day. Super relaxing. The bathhouse is a separate area from the public pool area, which is itself a site to behold it has a cabana restaurant and bar that serve delicious Mexican fare. Walking around the property is easy and the grounds are absolutely beautiful with Rosemary and olive trees planted throughout.
