Gaige House named to ‘U.S. News Best Hotels’ list

The Gaige House in Glen Ellen has been named to the 2013 Best Hotels list by U.S. News & World Report. The magazine ranked Gaige House sixth in the Napa Valley hotels category.

To create this year’s rankings, U.S. News factored in the prominence of industry awards a hotel receives along with its reputation among travel experts and guests. In total, 1,639 U.S. luxury hotels and 273 Caribbean hotels were analyzed for the 2013 rankings.

“This is our third year ranking hotels, and the bar continues to climb for luxury properties,” said Chad Smolinski, vice president of rankings and reviews at U.S. News & World Report. “Desirable amenities and hotel loyalty programs will no longer suffice. People are seeking hotels that go above and beyond to give their guests an unforgettable experience. Hotels that consistently meet the high expectations of experts and travelers are recognized in our rankings.”

Sonoma’s MacArthur Place was ninth on the list while the Kenwood Inn and Spa was 11th, the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa was 17th and the Lodge at Sonoma was 18th.
