Why Stay Here
The Premier King rooms on the upper floors feature 12-foot ceilings and original interior stone walls lit by Baccarat chandeliers. It's the kind of place where croissants arrive warm every morning and the quiet—no lobby traffic, no tour buses—makes it easy to stay an extra day.
- Premier King rooms feature 12-foot ceilings and Baccarat chandeliers

The Experience
Breakfast arrives with warm croissants each morning. The Francis House Suite overlooks the fountain courtyard, while the Pool House Suite offers more space and separation from the main building. Afternoons here are quiet—guests walk to downtown Calistoga or book wine tastings, then return to rooms with high ceilings and stone walls. The sheets are good enough that check-out times get pushed.
The Setting
The Francis House sits behind stone walls in downtown Calistoga, close enough to walk to spas and tasting rooms but private enough that only eight guest rooms share the property. A fountain anchors the courtyard, and lavender grows near the entrance. The building's stone exterior and original interior walls speak to its history, though the interiors lean French—antique writing desks, vintage mirrors, and rooms draped in Chantilly lace.
