A recently introduced landmark helped continue revitalizing downtown Napa, making the destination even more desirable for tourists and locals.
First Street Napa is a massive mixed-use development in the center of downtown Napa. The center turned downtown Napa from a gas station stop into a true destination filled with shopping, dining and wine tasting.
The area now boasts luxurious, unique places to stay, like Archer Hotel Napa, and eclectic dining options, including Charlie Palmer Steak and Eiko’s Modern Japanese Cuisine.
Archer Hotel Napa houses 143 guestrooms, 40 suites and a full-service spa. Guests don’t have to go far for a great drink or meal, either, with the hotel’s Sky and Vine Rooftop Bar serving cocktails, small plates, fire pits and panoramic views of Napa Valley.
First Street Napa is home to 17 shops and restaurants. The project is still in progress, but by the time development is completed, First Street Napa will span three city blocks and boast more than 40 shops and restaurants.
The first phase of the First Street Napa project was completed in 2017 and cost developers more than $200 million to bring to life. According to Visit Napa Valley, 3.5 million travelers visited the valley in 2016.
