The 50 Most-Anticipated Hotel Openings of 2026
The Elene, Napa, California
Design: Signum Architecture and Parts and Labor Design
What we’re looking forward to: Conveniently located on the under-development Napa Valley Vine Trail linking Vallejo to Calistoga, the Elene emboldens guests to explore wine country through its extensive cycling program. Post-adventures, the five-acre resort acts as a community hub, with a restaurant, café, and loungey outdoor grove. Meanwhile, the heated 25-yard pool, recovery-focused spa and sauna garden, and firepit-graced decks in the 50 guestrooms all provide moments of introspection.
