With a blend of Wine Country charm and Tuscan design, Roman Spa Hot Springs Resort features spacious and comfortable accommodations in the heart of downtown.

Why You’ll Love It: Our spa is loved by our guests for the amazing therapists. Our therapists truly are "healers," holding immense care for restorative therapies.

Key Features: Our spa offers mud and mineral baths, massages, facials, and specialty spa treatments. We also have three geothermal pools available for hotel and day spa guests to soak in prior to and post-treatment.

Safety Procedures/Protocols: We are taking temperature screening upon guest arrival, have enhanced our cleaning protocols, require all therapists to wear masks, and have eliminated walk-in appointments.

Insider’s Tip: Mud baths are authentic to Calistoga due to the mineral water and mixture of peat moss and ash, and cannot be experienced in any other Napa Valley town. Each spa has its own special or secret to the mixture ratio.

Accommodations include 60 guest rooms and suites appointed with thoughtful amenities affording every comfort.

Snacks Served: Snacks and beverages are not served in the spa. We do offer cucumber lemon-infused water upon guest arrival and post-treatment.

Unique Treatment: Mud baths are authentic to Calistoga and generally an exciting first-time treatment for many guests. Another unique treatment we offer are Casmara Algae Face Masks. We cannot offer the Casmara Algae Masks due to COVID-19, but do normally offer it as a service.

Insider’s Favorite: My personal favorite treatment is our CBD massage.

Splurge Treatment: The ultimate "splurge" treatment is our mud, water, massage treatment. Begin with a mud bath, detoxing your body and relaxing your muscles. Then enter into a warm mineral bath infused with essential oils of lavender and eucalyptus. Follow your mineral bath with a 75-minute massage, the ultimate form of relaxation.
