There’s no Michelin-starred restaurant (actually, no restaurant at all) but the Poetry Inn has a staff of ten for its five rooms in Napa Valley’s wine country. There are three innkeepers/concierges who “possess gratifyingly detailed memories for what pleases you,” says Forbes Magazine.
“Mention in passing that you have an early morning the next day and a coffee press setup appears unbidden in your room that night,” the magazine says. “Compliment the coffee itself and two bags of beans will be waiting for you back home.”
The Inn, perhaps best known for its accommodating service, has rooms named for poets such as Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman. The most luxurious is the 1,450-square-foot Robert Louis Stevenson Suite with has front-to-back picture windows on three sides
The inn is a pet project of Cliff Lede, a Canadian construction magnate who has a winery at the mountainside hideaway.
