About the Hennessey Estate
Where Napa History Meets Modern Luxury
Welcome to the Hennessey Estate, a timeless retreat nestled in the heart of downtown Napa. Originally built in 1889 for Napa County’s first physician, Dr. Edwin Z. Hennessey, our Victorian estate is rich in local history and architectural charm. Once the private home of a pioneering civic leader—whose name now graces Napa’s primary water source, Lake Hennessey—this storied property has been lovingly restored into a luxury bed and breakfast for the modern traveler.
As a proud listing on the National Register of Historic Places, the Hennessey Estate blends 19th-century elegance with thoughtful, contemporary updates. From our original tin-ceiling dining room to the intricate Stick–Eastlake woodwork, every detail tells a story. Our beautifully appointed rooms—each with private baths and curated amenities—offer the perfect mix of heritage and comfort.
