As The Meritage Resort and Spa in the Napa Valley prepares to open its 131,000-square-foot expansion in spring 2012, it has hired a new regional sales manager—Ellie Callihan, CHA, CHSP. She will utilize her more than 25 years of hospitality sales experience to work with group and incentive business based in the Pacific Northwest, Rocky Mountains, Arizona and Southern California.
The Meritage Resort and Spa broke ground in November 2010 on an expansion project that is adding 165 guest rooms and suites, resulting in a total of 320 rooms and more than 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space. The expansion frees up the resort to host larger conferences and give more attendees the opportunity to enjoy more of the Napa experience at the resort.
The Meritage is a luxury property set within a private vineyard, and features Tuscan-inspired guestrooms and luxury suites, seasonal farm-to-table cuisine at the Siena restaurant and wine tasting in the Estate Cave featuring Trinitas Cellars. The resort, located in the city of Napa, also showcases a lavish underground spa and comprehensive event and meeting space.
