Quick Verdict: Archer Hotel Napa vs The Meritage Resort and Spa

When Archer Hotel Napa wins: pick Archer if you want to stay in downtown Napa within easy walking distance of tasting rooms, restaurants and the Napa Riverfront, and if you prefer a rooftop spa and intimate rooftop Water Deck over resort-scale pools.

When The Meritage Resort and Spa wins: choose The Meritage if you want resort-scale facilities — multiple restaurants and bars, two outdoor pools, an on-site winery, a large health club and extensive meeting/wedding spaces — or if you need a property with more on-site recreation.
