Auberge Du Soleil Rutherford

Napa Valley Hotels

Perched high above the verdant Napa Valley lies the soft-spoken luxury of Auberge du Soleil. The exquisite natural setting highlights the privacy, tranquillity and unmistakable romance hidden here.

Today, 20 years later, the Auberge dazzles again with a fresh, updated look that pays tribute to Michael Taylor’s original vision. It is the work of San Francisco designer Suzanne Tucker, of renowned interior design firm Tucker & Marks, who was Taylor's assistant on the original Auberge. In her renovation, she was loyal to her mentor, going straight for the bold and designing luxuriously overscale furniture, richly covered bedcovers and heavy limestone countertops.

Tucker designed custom furniture with a historic basis for the rooms. Oversized braided rope lounges and ottomans were inspired by 1940s pieces at a hotel in Juan les Pins. Cream matelasse bedcovers are accented with stunning persimmon coverlets and bolsters. Made in France, the fabric is a copy of a vintage Pierre Frey design that Taylor liked. Tucker had stashed a few yards years before and recently commissioned Frey's Paris subsidiary Margueroy to custom-dye and weave the fabric exclusively for the Auberge. Cerused hand-stained oak and wheat-colored limestone replaces the tile-covered countertops for a rich finish. The result is a bright, warm look that's updated, yet bold in Taylor's fashion and reminiscent of a secluded Côte d’Azur retreat.
