5 Best Hotels in The Oregon Coast, Oregon

This attractive golfing lodge provides a comfortable place to relax after a day on the world-famous links, with accommodations ranging from single rooms or cottages to four-bedroom condos, many with beautiful views of the famous golf course. Each unit includes a gathering room with fireplace, outdoor patio area, and four separate bedrooms with a king bed and private bath. There are also other lodging options available throughout the vast resort property, as well as a full-service spa and fitness center and eight different restaurants and lounges.

Secluded and refined, this upscale resort designed in the 1960s by renowned architect John Gray is set in a hillside forest preserve near Siletz Bay and offers spacious, art-filled rooms with wood-burning fireplaces, balconies, and large whirlpool tubs. The spa is outstanding and there are plenty of diversions, including one of Oregon's top golf courses, an adventure-oriented aerial park, tennis, and a pool, and there are a couple of different excellent dining options.

One of the coast's most beautiful views is paired with one of its most splendid hotels, where the focus is firmly on romance, superior service, and luxurious rooms. Impeccably maintained, with country-style furnishings, fireplaces, large bathrooms with whirlpool tubs, and balconies, the rooms are so comfortable you may never want to leave, and rates include a generous country breakfast, evening wine and hors d'oeuvres, and a late-evening nightcap. Kids under 12 are not permitted.

Pronounced "too-too-tin," this renowned and rather lavish boutique resort is a slice of heaven on the Rogue River; its rustic-elegant rooms have private decks overlooking the water; some have hot tubs, others have fireplaces, and a few have both. Guided fishing trips and river activities are offered, and nearby are jet-boat excursions and world-class golf. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The latter—open to nonguests (reservations can be hard to get)—is a four-course prix-fixe meal.

Even if you're not a big fan of gaming, this attractive hotel on the bay and boardwalk in North Bend (a short distance north of downtown Coos Bay) makes a handy, comfortable, and relatively affordable base for exploring this stretch of the coast. The hotel's snazziest rooms are in the newer tower, which has grand views of the bay, but the comfy lodge-style rooms in the older building are brightened by colorful Pendleton blankets and rustic furniture. Included in the property's four dining venues are a waterfront restaurant and a bakery. There's also a full-service RV park and a concert venue that books nationally known bands and comedians.
