10 Things We Love About Bardessono, the Eco-Friendly Hotel in Napa Valley
As the world’s gaze shifts to Copenhagen during the World Climate Talks, allow us to pontificate on one of our favorite new properties: Napa Valley’s Bardessono, “the greenest luxury hotel in America.” Why do we love this design gem in Yountville?
1. It’s greener than green. The hotel’s design showcases advanced environmental technologies ensuring a carbon footprint of zero.
2. They’ll bring you a steaming pot of French press coffee to your room (for a small additional fee).
3. A portion of your room rate is donated to the Napa Valley Land Trust.
4. Eco-friendly doesn’t mean skimping on luxury. Rooms are equipped with In Fiore bath products, Coyuchi bed linens, and 40-inch Sony LCD HDTVs.
5. Included in your room rate? Internet, valet parking, and bicycles for touring the town of Yountville.
6. Vinotherapie massages at the spa. Rejuvenate your skin with the anti-aging properties of organic Chardonnay Grape Seed Oil.
7. A wine menu featuring lots of organic and biodynamic bottle selections.
8. A stunning architectural design created by skilled artisans.
9. Nifty hidden massage tables in your guest room…
10. 940 rooftop solar panels.
