Calistoga Motor Lodge and Spa has joined

JdV by Hyatt, the hotel chain’s growing
Independent Collection portfolio of prop-
erties — and the first such hotel in Napa,
both parties recently announced.
“It was mainly a change in management.
There was no transaction,” said Stephen
Chan, partner and co-founder of Eagle
Point Hotel Partners, which purchased the
Calistoga Motor Lodge in 2015.
By partnering with Hyatt, the Calistoga
hotel gains exposure well beyond the Napa
Valley, he said.
“Access to Hyatt’s rewards program is
key and (also) corporate sales and meetings
components,” Chan said.
“Since we’ve become a Hyatt property, the
loyalty members have come and it's a really
good option,” said Magy Garza, Calistoga
Motor Lodge’s on-site marketing manager.
“The other closest option is the Alila Napa
Valley (in St. Helena), which is an adults
only (property) and kind of a different level

The Calistoga Motor Lodge is fami-
ly-friendly and at a lower price point than
the Alila, she added.
As of Aug. 15, an overnight stay for two
at the Calistoga Motor Lodge was $259; the
Alila started at $1,095, according to multiple

loyalty program and to offer all travelers a
getaway experience that embodies the true
spirit of Napa Valley,” David Tarr, senior
vice president, development, Americas,
Hyatt, said in the July 13 news release. We understand your commitment. And that matters.
With the addition of the Calistoga prop-
erty, JdV by Hyatt now has more than 50
independent hotels in its portfolio, accord-
