Attractive designs will be seen all over the hotel.

Will the symphony return to Napa Valley?

A recent article in the Napa Valley Register noted that the communty's Lincoln theater, as well as the Napa Valley symphony were funded largely in part by one man, Donald Carr. Carr was a real estate mogul that donated millions of dollars on a yearly basis to both entities. Recently, though, Carr passed away in a tragic auto accident. Thus putting an end to his donations to the musical arts and unfortunately, for the time being, the Napa Valley Symphony.

Even though the musical arts are on a hiatus, there is still more than enough entertainment within the Napa Valley to keep the residents and the tourists occupied. From the busseling restaurants like Hydro Bar and Grill in Calistoga, to the famous wineries such as Robert Mondavi and Clos Du Bois, the Napa Valley offers a variety of entertainment and commercial businesses that suits just about anyone.
