LEED certified, Gaia Napa Valley Hotel & Spa bills itself as Napa Valley’s "first fully environmentally-sustainable hotel." Named "Mother Earth" in Greek, the hotel provides waterless urinals, low-flush toilets and low-flow showerheads. The emphasis on nature can also be found on their grounds, which consist of native and climate-adaptive plants, as well as a swan and Koi pond that uses only recycled water. There is solar lighting throughout, and the property uses only recycled paper and building materials.
