The Napa Valley Marriott Hotel & Spa sits right in downtown Napa, giving you easy access to the riverfront and all the tasting rooms along First Street. The hotel welcomes dogs in many of its rooms, so you won’t have to leave your dog behind while you’re out wine tasting or exploring the area.

The property itself has some nice spaces to hang out with your dog. There’s a courtyard and garden areas where you can relax between activities, and a resort-style pool if you want to cool off on a hot day. The splash bar is a casual spot to grab a drink without much fuss.

If you’re staying for a few days, the on-site restaurants help simplify meals. Little Summer is their upscale option with local ingredients and wine pairings, but there’s casual dining available too, so you have choices depending on your mood and schedule. Being able to eat at the hotel is convenient when you’re traveling with a dog, since you don’t have to stress about finding dog-friendly restaurants every single meal.

The rooms and suites are standard Marriott quality—comfortable and clean, with the amenities you’d expect. Staff treat dogs matter-of-factly, which is nice when you’re just trying to get settled in and figure out your plans for the day.

One thing to keep in mind is that downtown Napa gets busy during peak season and on weekends, so parking can be tight. But if you’re planning to spend most of your time at nearby wineries or on trails like the Napa Valley Wine Trail areas, you’ll likely be out during the day anyway. The location does mean you’re walkable to restaurants and shops on First Street when you want to explore on foot.
