Rooftop Spa, Water Deck and how dining connects
The Rooftop Spa at Archer Hotel Napa offers treatments such as the 60-Minute Gemstone Facial and the 60-Minute 'Go Deep' deep-tissue massage. Spa appointments include access to the rooftop Water Deck and the Fitness Studio, and spa guests may order from Sky & Vine’s food and drink menu.
The Water Deck is a seasonal, shallow lounging feature (about six inches of water) with ledge loungers, semi-private cabanas and fire elements — it’s intended for relaxing, not swimming. Sky & Vine and the Whiskey Bar share the rooftop level with the spa, so expect rooftop foot traffic during peak dining hours.
- Spa hours commonly listed as 9:30 AM–5:30 PM daily; weekly closures can vary seasonally — confirm before booking
- Water Deck: seasonal access, reserved for hotel guests and spa visitors
- Spa rooms: small footprint (two single treatment rooms and one couple’s treatment room per available sources)
| Included with spa visit | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Water Deck access | Shallow ledge loungers and cabanas; lounging only |
| Fitness Studio access | Rooftop gym access during visit |
| Food & drink | Ability to order from Sky & Vine menu |
