34 Best Hotels in Oregon, USA

This contemporary 28-acre compound of poshly furnished chalets and "Grand Lodge" town homes with fireplaces and dozens of other amenities is scattered around an alpine lake and offers the cushiest accommodations in the Mt. Hood area. Each unit has two or three bedrooms and can sleep 4 to 10 guests—they all have fully equipped kitchens, 2½ bathrooms, outdoor decks with gas barbecues, two-car garages, and laundry facilities, and the Grand Lodge units have plenty of extras, from Cascadian stone and Brazilian cherrywood materials to luxurious master suites with enormous bathrooms. Free shuttles whisk guests to the slopes, and the property is laced with trails for snowshoeing and hiking. On-site recreation centers have year-round heated pools and hot tubs.

The period feel of this 1915 lodge on the caldera's rim is reflected in its lodgepole-pine columns, gleaming wood floors, and stone fireplaces in the common areas, and the simple guest rooms. With magnificent lake views—and the all-too-brief tourist season at Crater Lake—rooms at this popular spot are often booked a year in advance, although cancellations sometimes create last-minute vacancies. Plan ahead, as this is the only "in-park" place to stay by the lake, but also check online reservations page if visiting on short notice, as you may just get lucky.

Built in 1889, the stately Geiser Grand sits like the dowager duchess of Main Street, her cupola clock tower cutting a sharp figure against a wide Baker City sky—the Italianate Renaissance Revival beauty was once known as the finest hotel between Portland and Salt Lake City, though today it's showing its age. That said, the rooms still have those 14-foot ceilings, old-fashioned transoms above the door, and 10-foot-tall windows. But of all the fascinating features, it's the custom-built stained-glass ceiling in hues of green, blue, purple, and red that takes center stage. The fact that it was created from photographs and an old timer's memory makes it even more astounding. There's a lively saloon and a restaurant serving decent (if predictable) traditional American fare.

On a windswept promontory, this unusual late-Victorian property is one of Oregon's most remarkable bed-and-breakfasts; it's located at Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint and owned by a gifted chef who prepares an elaborate seven-course breakfast each morning, with seasonal offerings. Meals include herbs and produce from the Lightstation garden and highlight the best of Oregon—artisanal cheeses, sausages, and homemade pastries. The nicest of the simply furnished rooms is the Mariner's, with a private bath and an awe-inspiring view. Filled with period detailing and antiques, the common areas are warm and inviting. If you're lucky, you may hear Rue, the resident ghost, during the night.

This artsy Downtown Portland outpost of the Kimpton-operated Monaco boutique-hotel brand offers eclectic textiles and patterns, bright spaces and bold colors, interesting amenities like in-room yoga mats, extensive pet-welcoming items, and an evening social hour with local wines, spirits, and beers, and the overall sense that staying here is a lot of fun. In these roomy accommodations (the majority of them suites), birds in flight paper the ivory-colored guest-room walls, auburn hexagons carpet the floor, and multicolored tartan decorates the headboard.

In a peaceful mostly residential neighborhood within walking distance of the walking trails and dramatic bluffs at Yaquina Head Lighthouse, this intimate contemporary retreat captures the vibe of staying in a snazzy beach house owned by friends with a great eye for design and hospitality.

This gorgeous, 6,000-square-foot pink stucco home in Pendleton's North Hill neighborhood dates to 1917 and abounds with handsome decorative details, including Chinese silk wallpaper and custom woodwork; it's a grand reminder that the Old West had its share of wealth and worldly sophistication.

The venerable steak-and-seafood-driven Jake's Grill is on the ground floor along with Fortune bar and Domaine Serene Wine Lounge.

The world's top fly-fishermen converge at this secluded forest inn, high in the Cascades above the North Umpqua River; others come simply to relax in the reading nooks or on the decks of the riverside guest cabins nestled below soaring fir trees. Lodging choices include riverside cabins, forest bungalows (some sleep up to six), and riverside suites; the bungalows and suites have kitchens. Make reservations well in advance, especially for a stay between July and October, the prime fishing months (guide services are available, as are equipment rentals and sales).

It's also open for breakfast and lunch to the general public.

Wander secluded paths through meditation gardens, where ceramics reward a closer look, then order wine and a massage in your room, or visit the deep in-ground spa tub. A communal guesthouse with wraparound porch overlooking the Pacific is available for the daily buffet breakfast, to prepare food, or to play games.
