Fodor's Expert Review Archer Hotel Napa

Ideal for travelers seeking design pizzazz, a see-and-be-seen atmosphere, and first-class amenities, this five-story downtown Napa property fuses New York City chic and Las Vegas glamour. Ultracontemporary rooms with Nespresso coffeemakers, wine refrigerators, and appropriate (and appropriately located) electronics docking stations come in several categories, from 285-square-foot Classic Kings to 780-square-foot Archer's Den suites with balconies and fireplaces. All rooms have beds with Euro Top mattresses (no pillow tops here) draped in 100%-cotton linens and topped with down duvets and down pillows. There are also work desks, safes, and 65-inch flat-screen TVs with premium channels. Small refrigerators are stocked with refreshments; there's a fee for them, but it's reasonable. The look overall is clean and sophisticated, with local art adorning the rooms and the hallways. Tip: Some of the best views are from upper-floor rooms facing south and west, though the southern ones pick up a little street noise on the balconies.
