Why Stay Here

The thermal pool is fed directly by Calistoga's mineral springs, the same geothermal water that made the town a spa destination in the 1860s. Most people book spa treatments before they unpack, which means the schedule fills up fast on weekends.

  • 19th-century pressed-metal façade on Lincoln Avenue
  • Thermal mineral pool fed by Calistoga's geothermal springs
  • On-site spa with mud baths and massage rooms
  • Rooms include robes for spa access
  • Kid-friendly policy, unusual for a spa-focused property

The Experience

Check-in staff hand over spa menus along with room keys, and most people head straight to the pool deck or book a mud bath for later that afternoon. The thermal pool stays open until evening, warm enough that even January soaks feel comfortable. Rooms vary—some have claw-foot tubs, others have walk-in showers—but all include robes for the short walk to the spa building.

The Setting

Mount View Hotel & Spa setting

The Mount View Hotel & Spa occupies a 19th-century building with a pressed-metal façade and rich wood trim, one of the oldest continuously operating hotels in town. The front entrance opens directly onto Lincoln Avenue, Calistoga's main street, with the spa entrance tucked around the side. Inside, the lobby shows off original millwork and a vintage cash register behind the front desk.

Insider Tips

Opt for a room with a balcony for the best views of the gardens. Consider visiting during the mid-week for a more tranquil experience as the hotel is popular among couples seeking a romantic getaway. Don’t miss the complimentary wine tasting events hosted at nearby wineries that the concierge can recommend.
