The owner of two distinctive lodgings—the six-room Brannan Cottage Inn, whose centerpiece is an 1860s cottage from Calistoga's original spa era, and five lofts two blocks away—operates them jointly as the Brannan Hotels. Although the stained-oak floors, wainscoting, and retro bathroom fixtures of the inn’s guest rooms recall Victorian times, contemporary comfort is the goal: the beds have plush mattresses and high-thread-count sheets, and rooms are equipped with large flat-screen TVs, electronics charging stations, and espresso machines. Eco-friendly touches abound, most visibly in the LED lighting throughout the property. A tall palm, even taller twin cypresses, and an elm tree thought to be 300 years old shade the inn.
