A brimming sun interrupts the North California fog; fuschia skies, cotton candy clouds, the moon in a golden halo. Postcards sent by nature that leave you in awe, specifically, the sublime Napa Valley; these moments constructed Alcove. Previously the empty, open rooftop of a Shangri-La Hotel, revisions to the structure accommodated Alcove, a new bar and lounge. Opening existing (13m/43ft) floor-to-ceiling windows to a phenomenal view that’s impossible to miss.
