The Rosewood Resort & Residences Calistoga: A New Chapter in Wine Country Luxury

Discover the new Rosewood in Calistoga's hills just SW of town, Napa Valley's soon coming icon of luxury living. Explore record-setting real estate, private villas, and world-class amenities.

A Record-Setting Foundation Built on Vision

Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley's most coveted landscape, the forthcoming (January 2027) Rosewood Resort & Residences in Calistoga's SW hills represents an exceptional luxury real estate development opportunity in wine country's premier hospitality sector. For discerning clients who understand that exceptional real estate transcends mere transaction, this landmark project signals a significant evolution in sophisticated living among California's rolling vineyards.

The story of Rosewood Calistoga begins with strategic vision and purpose. In December 2014, an extraordinary 118-acre parcel, previously known as Enchanted Resorts, changed hands in a transaction that set national records as one of the highest "per key" hotel land sales in United States history. At nearly $80 million, this acquisition represented a major investment by those who recognized the irreplaceable sense of place that makes Calistoga luxury real estate unique.

The seller, billionaire investor Jacqui Safra of the prestigious Spring Mountain Vineyard family, understood the rarity of this untouched canvas. As one of the last significant undeveloped estate properties in Napa Valley, it attracted global attention from sophisticated buyers who appreciate that exceptional luxury begins with location.

The successful acquisition by Foothill Land Acquisition, LLC, the investment arm of Hong Kong's Cheng family, brought together substantial financial resources with world-class hospitality expertise. Under the personal guidance of Sonia Cheng, CEO of the esteemed Rosewood Hotel Group and granddaughter of the family patriarch, this project benefits from leadership renowned for meticulous attention to detail and Rosewood's signature "Sense of Place" philosophy. This combination of capital strength and operational excellence positions Rosewood Calistoga to set new standards for wine country luxury hospitality.

Perfectly positioned in the scenic foothills where Foothill Boulevard, Highway 29, and Lincoln Avenue converge, the resort's master plan reflects thoughtful design tailored to discerning clientele:

The Resort Experience:

  • 96 Hotel Rooms housed within the stunning main "Longbarn" and multiple guest buildings
  • Asaya Spa honoring Calistoga's rich wellness heritage with six treatment rooms, hydrotherapy areas, and dual pools (including an adults-only option)
  • 118-acre estate featuring vineyards, gardens, and forested ridgeline with Napa Valley views
  • Farm-to-table dining including signature restaurant, cocktail bar, and poolside eatery
  • Over 20,000 square feet of event and meeting space

Residential Opportunities:

  • 20 Private Villa Residences providing permanent connection to resort luxury amenities and services
  • 13 Exclusive Estate Homesites representing premier wine country living with architectural oversight

Design by Atelier Marsh carries forward the legacy of renowned architect Ed Tuttle, with contemporary forms that follow the natural topography and interiors featuring locally-sourced materials and wine country-inspired details.
