River Terrace Inn

A Riverside Retreat in the Heart of Downtown Napa

River Terrace Inn offers a serene escape in Downtown Napa’s vibrant and walkable Oxbow District. Overlooking the tranquil Napa River and nestled beside the lush Oxbow Preserve, this boutique inn blends relaxed Wine Country style with natural beauty and effortless access to the best of Napa Valley.

Step outside and explore the charm of Napa on foot. River Terrace Inn is just steps from the famed Napa Valley Wine Train, the Culinary Institute of America at Copia, the eclectic Oxbow Public Market, and the celebrated Slanted Door restaurant, known for bringing modern Vietnamese cuisine to wine country. You’ll find yourself near dozens of local tasting rooms, art galleries, riverfront trails, and farm-to-table restaurants. Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend, a local staycation, or a group getaway, you’re steps away from top experiences within easy reach.

The property features 114 thoughtfully appointed guest rooms, including eight refreshed premium rooms and suites—many with private balconies or patios perfect for sipping wine as the sun sets over the river. Guests enjoy modern comforts with a boutique feel, including a 24-hour fitness center with Peloton bikes, free weights, and strength training equipment, plus complimentary bike rentals for riverside cruising, vineyard tours or exploring vibrant Downtown Napa.

For pet lovers, the inn’s Napa Paws package extends a warm welcome to four-legged companions. This pet-friendly offering includes cozy bedding, food and water bowls, tasty treats, and a curated list of dog-friendly wineries, trails, and local hangouts—ensuring every member of your family feels at home.

Dining at ALBA Bar + Café is a highlight of any stay. Overlooking the river, ALBA offers both indoor and outdoor seating for breakfast daily from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. In the evenings, enjoy cocktails, local wine, and draft beers available every night from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., along with small plates offered on select evenings from 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Grab a spot at one of the cozy outdoor firepits and sip a local vintage or craft cocktail as you watch kayakers drift past or unwind to the soft rustle of willows in the evening breeze.

Ideal for intimate gatherings, the inn offers over 3,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor event space, perfect for corporate meetings up to 80 guests, celebrations, or retreats infused with the spirit of Wine Country. Events are elevated with catering provided by local favorite Brindare, known for its fresh, seasonal menus that highlight the best of Napa Valley’s culinary bounty.

River Terrace Inn also places you at the center of Napa’s most exciting annual celebrations. From the high-energy music of BottleRock Napa Valley to the world-class performances of Festival Napa Valley, and the immersive creativity of the Napa Lighted Art Festival, the inn offers a front-row seat to the region’s most anticipated cultural experiences. With many events just a short walk or drive away, it’s the perfect home base for festivalgoers, art enthusiasts, and music lovers alike.
