The Westin Verasa In the Heart of Downtown Napa

You know the saying “set it, and forget it” ~ that pretty much comes to my mind when I look back at our recent visit to the Westin Verasa Napa a couple of weeks ago.  We parked the car ~ and forgot about it.  Set in an idyllic locations  in the heart  of downtown Napa, a block away from the Oxbow Market, right across the Wine Train,  and a nice stroll to where you want to be:  wine tasting rooms, fine and casual dining, the cinema  and cool boutique shopping.   The weather was finally nice and this time of year, a light sweater was all I needed.

This time around, I was traveling to wine country with a unique companion, my beer loving husband who was off for the week.   Indeed, the short getaway was refreshing and thoroughly relaxing and he immediately sensed the friendliness and hospitality of the people, the more laid back feel and he loved the fact that it was so close to home.

We checked into this lovely 180 suite hotel and the lobby was buzzing with  a chartered busload of employees from a famous Silicon Valley company  in town of a team building event.  For a few shining moments after I chatted up with a few of them  (a huge HR department!),  I reminisced my own days in planning and participating in corporate sales and marketing out of towners.  It was nice to see incentives like this still in existence.   I was also thankful to be here on my own time.

The lobby was immediately welcoming.  Expansive yet warm and inviting.  Soothing music, scents, botanicals and lighting transform the welcome experience and make it truly inviting.    You’re immediately embraced by staff as soon as you pull up with your car, and registration was a breeze.  We were excited to check out our suite.
