7×7 – Wine Country Escape

Wine Country Escape: Calistoga's restored Francis House has all the historic charm (plus a heated pool!)

Calistoga's Francis House was built the same year the first electric fan was invented, but on my recent visit to the property—recently reopened as a five-bedroom inn following a three-and-a-half-year renovation—I needed to download an app to access my room's Bluetooth door key system.

It's a long way in technological time from 1886 until now, but this gracious luxury hotel bridges the gap with impeccable style.
