The Spa Solage expansion will add more than 3,000 sq. feet to the Spa Solage Reception building including a new 1,409 sq. foot indoor/outdoor co-ed Relaxation Room. Other enhancements include two new outdoor showers and 56 additional lockers in both the men’s and ladies’ locker rooms, along with refurbishments to the reception and boutique areas. Updates to the overall spa area will include a clean, new color palette of shades of whites and silver with ultra-plush materials, offering guests a luxurious retreat in a casual, yet approachable, environment.
The vision for the interior was created by Shirley Robinson, principal of Robinson Finishes, a San Francisco-based interior design and finishes company.
“The look and feel of Spa Solage will be modern, yet contemporary, while incorporating the organic essence of the Napa Valley lifestyle. Paying close attention to detail, we are creating a super chic atmosphere using clean, fresh colors and luxe furnishings to give it a pampered and inviting feel,” said Robinson. “The design represents a collaborative effort with the Solage team; together we wanted to ensure that the result appropriately reflects the award-winning experience for which Solage Calistoga has become known.”
