A 100-Year-Old Building Turned Boutique Hotel in Downtown Napa | R Inn Napa & BoatNapa

As Featured on The American Dream TV” Where you stay in Napa Valley shapes the whole trip. Carmen & Peter Gray tour R Inn Napa, a 100-year-old downtown building reborn as a boutique hotel, then cruise the Napa River with BoatNapa. On this episode of Selling Napa Valley on ADTV (American Dream TV), Napa Valley real estate and lifestyle experts Carmen & Peter Gray spend the day with brother-and-sister entrepreneurs Sean Heffran and Maurissa Heffran, the family behind two of downtown Napa's most unexpected experiences. First stop: R Inn Napa on Coombs Street. Sean's family of real estate agents, brokers and developers bought this 100-plus-year-old building from its longtime owners about eight years ago. They kept the historic exterior bones, gutted the interior and reimagined it as a 16-room boutique hotel steps from downtown Napa. Co-owner and designer Maurissa Heffran walks Carmen through the restored Bungalow, one of the oldest homes in downtown Napa and now a two-bedroom retreat built for extended stays, and a New York–style loft suite with soaring ceilings. Every room is different, and every room feels like someone's home. Then it's all aboard BoatNapa, Sean's private electric boat cruise from downtown Napa's Main Street dock. Caviar, a grazing board, the bubbles you bring yourself, and a view of Napa most visitors never see: from the water. As Sean puts it, people coming to Napa Valley today are looking for something new and different. They're looking for experiences. Why it matters for Napa real estate: R Inn Napa is a textbook example of adaptive reuse, preserving a century-old building's character while giving it a new, income-producing life. It's the kind of vision Carmen & Peter love helping clients bring to life, whether you're buying a luxury home in Napa Valley, investing in hospitality, or repositioning a commercial property in Wine Country. 💬 Have you ever seen Napa from the river?
