Embarcadero Building

A yacht cabin theme with cherry wood wainscoting coffered paneling, yellow wall coverings and furnishings, round porthole mirrors in carved-rope frames, graceful roman shades in each room, granite counters on the custom-crafted vanities add to the luxury of the marble-tiled bathrooms.

The Embarcadero Building was the former site of Napa's original Embarcadero and home of two Banner warehouses constructed in 1862 and later acquired by Charles Carpy for wine storage. Captain A. Hatt purchased the property in 1895 for storage. Behind the current Embarcadero building, which was build in 1997, Hatt constructed a wharf on the Napa River in 1897 that included a derrick facilitating the loading and unloading of steamships that Hatt used for receiving and shipping his goods up and down the Napa River. Hatt also used the wharf to moor his personal schooner and small fleet of steamships used for shipping. As the shipping industry waned and the Napa Valley went from farming to grape growing, the wharf fell into disrepair and was removed.

Today the Embarcadero building is part of the Napa Mill hotel operation with 26 guest rooms that feature a yacht cabin theme of cherry wood, porthole mirrors, wainscoting and coffered paneling.
