NAPA, Calif.
Napa's Silverado Resort and Spa has debuted resort-wide improvements that include renovations to its 12,000-square-foot conference center and 330 guest rooms, a redesign of Silverado’s PGA Championship North Course, and a refresh of the property’s public space and historic mansion, once home to a civil war general and California Senator.
The new design juxtaposes Silverado’s history with modern luxuries and a light and airy style befitting the Napa Valley. Inspired by the 19th century colonial design of the historic mansion, project leaders at Backen, Gillam & Kroeger Architects and SWA Group revamped indoor meeting and function space with custom carpet bordered by white oak hardwood, oil-rubbed bronze, aged brick, and linen, bringing forward the agrarian culture of wine country.
The lower level conference rooms, known as Napa Hall, were updated to provide a wine cellar experience with a décor of exposed and stained concrete, authentic brick work, controlled lighting, and custom wine racks. As a finishing touch, each room also received brand new Manhattan task chairs, banquet seating, lineless tables, and improved Internet bandwidth.
Outdoor function space has also enhanced by extending and re-flooring the colonial-style wrap-around porch. The deck features beadboard ceilings, fluted outdoor fans, and rocking chairs, all shaded by a century old oak tree. The renovated area offers groups additional break out space with scenic views of the golf course.
Guest Room and Further Property Upgrades
Silverado Resort and Spa worked with AMB Designs to transform guest rooms in each of the four distinct “neighborhoods” with a fresh look and feel pairing the 19th century colonial style of the Mansion with upgrades for todays’ traveler. A new open kitchen design, redesigned fireplace, stone vanity, luxurious shower, crisp Spartan bedding, and additional modern fixtures lend an air of warmth and luxury to the rooms.
The renovation brought updates to the resort’s 1,200 acres, which embody the quintessential Napa Valley experience with vast open spaces, expansive grounds, and large patios and porch settings that invite guests to relax and enjoy scenic wine country vistas. At the Main Pool, one of 10 at the resort, five new 9x9 cabanas have been added. Each includes two chaise lounge chairs, a cocktail table and fridge. Silverado has also given a face-lift to the resort’s famous terrace, where guests can enjoy an after-dinner cocktail, and refreshed the Grill restaurant. The Royal Oak Restaurant continues to undergo renovations and will reopen in September.
Co-owner, NBC golf analyst and World Golf Hall of Fame member Johnny Miller sparked the resort-wide makeover by renovating the PGA championship North Course. As a result, Silverado was named one of Golfweek’s “2013 Best Resort Courses” and will host this year’s Frys.com open, the first event on the PGA tour calendar.
