McClelland House, The Napa Valley Chateau, embraces the old-world luxury of Downtown Napa and the modern amenities of a bed and breakfast. The restoration and transformation of the luxury inn, originally built in 1878, include six suites and a renewed showcase kitchen, foyer, powder room, dining room, and parlor.
“Honoring the history of Napa Valley was our first priority when redesigning all public and private living spaces of McClelland House,” says Jill I. Cole, ISCH, Managing Principal of CMCA. “The interiors of the bed and breakfast reflect the sophistication of the late 1800s and early 1900s by accentuating the ornate architectural details of this Victorian-Italianate mansion.”

The foyer and parlor welcome each guest gracefully with plush custom sofas finished in Opuzen fabric with pillows from Sabria Collection, elegant draperies framing the floor-to-ceiling windows from Lara Flynn Upholstery, and a striking chandelier provided by the owner. The dining room features intricate crown molding and medallions beautifully complementing the grand table custom made by Saint-Damase Hotel Furniture, fashioned for the inn’s guests to comfortably gather. The showcase kitchen was elevated with a first-class Lacanche range-top and oven finished in a rich French Blue.

Each guest suite boasts ceilings from 12 to 16 feet and includes exquisite features such as cozy fireplaces, freestanding jacuzzi tubs, en-suite seating areas, private outdoor garden terraces, and access to the inn’s wrap-around porch. The bathrooms were completely demolished and redesigned to emulate the one-of-a-kind themes in each suite. The opulence of the McClelland House experience may be extended with additional amenities including in-room spa treatments and private wine pairings. Only steps away from the iconic Downtown Napa area, guests may enjoy world-class restaurants, tasting rooms, and boutique shopping.
