Dr. Wilkinson's Backyard Resort and Mineral Springs, a Member of Design Hotels™

Set in Calistoga, California and located 20 minutes away from Downtown Napa (15 miles), Dr. Wilkinson’s has long been a fixture on the Napa Valley scene. The property originally opened in 1952, when “the Doc” introduced his mud baths to the world. Now, the resort has been reimagined for the modern-day traveler, while maintaining its retro charm and playful mid-century design. The spa is an essential part of the Dr. Wilkinson’s experience, with geothermal mineral pools, aromatherapy treatments, and the legendary mud baths. The guest rooms and cottages are fresh and modern with a dash of nostalgia, featuring natural woods, wide windows, retro furniture, and fun pops of color. We have been Muddy and Relaxed since 1952.
