Hotel

North Block Hotel, a boutique Yountville retreat in California, offers the perfect escape for couples looking for quiet luxury and a chance to reconnect. The hotel features just 20 rooms, as well as a vine-draped courtyard resembling a European village. Couples can expect every detail of the romantic weekend to be thoughtfully curated to help them unwind, reconnect and indulge. A weekend at North Block Hotel this summer includes:

 

Slow Mornings

Enjoy complimentary coffees made by baristas, as well as pastries each morning. You can even extend your morning relaxation and enjoy these treats in plush robes in room or on the private patio. If slow mornings aren’t your thing, start your day with a sweat on the Peloton machines or in the fitness center.

 

Luxurious Guestrooms

Each luxury guestroom has heated bathroom floors, soaking tubs, fireplaces, plush robes and private patios.

 

Couples Spa Treatments

Book the 120-minute Decadent Duo treatment at Spa at North Block. This relaxing treatment features a calming foot soak, tension-melting scalp massage and a full-body massage.

 

Poolside Relaxation

Relax on cushioned loungers by the hotel’s lush landscaping and heated outdoor pool and hot tub. The area is a peaceful, sun-filled space where you can sit back and read a book or enjoy a delicious cocktail.

 

Exclusive Dining Experiences

Book the five-course Valley-to-Coast tasting menu at Restaurant at North Block. This experience is spearheaded by Executive Chef Juan Cabrera, and inspired by California’s diverse landscapes highlighted in the seasonal dishes.

 

Scenic Bike Rides

Take advantage of complimentary cruiser bikes to explore local tasting rooms, boutique shops, scenic trails and vineyard-lined streets.
