95 Best Hotels in Washington, USA

One of the best budget-minded options in the area, this reliable chain property conveniently located on the south edge of downtown offers travelers plenty of elbow room in contemporary rooms with separate sitting areas and lots of amenities, including refrigerators and microwaves, and—in some suites—jetted tubs and kitchenettes. Facilities include an outdoor picnic and barbecue area.

Minutes from Boeing Future of Flight and Paine Field, this nicely maintained Best Western is a step up from many of the other chains in the area, especially considering the reasonable rates. The modern rooms have sitting areas with aviation-theme art, and many have full kitchens. There's a very good hot buffet breakfast.

This dignified 1910 country inn—set on a plateau of vineyards and hops fields a few miles southeast of Yakima—consists of a manor house with an upscale restaurant, five traditionally furnished upstairs rooms, and a newer, more private cottage with six rooms that feature such cushy amenities as steam-sauna showers and gas fireplaces. Chef-owner Brad Masset oversees the Continental-style prix-fixe restaurant (one 7 pm seating Thursday through Saturday; reservations essential). The wine cellar has an excellent selection of local and international vintages, and there's a pool and hot tub out back.

Set along Long Beach's colorful main drag, this collection of comfortable and attractively furnished cottages includes a range of accommodation options, from cozy studios to two-bedroom units with kitchens that are perfect for families. All units have private decks, refrigerators, electric kettles, and French press coffee makers, and local pastries are delivered to each cottage in the morning, a hospitable touch though not a full breakfast. Beyond a cute barrel sauna, common spaces are limited, but guests are welcome to use the pool, spa, beach bikes, and other amenities at the sister property, the Adrift Hotel, which is just a few minutes away on foot—as is the beach. 

Tasteful antiques and interesting books fill this vintage 1920s beach house, where rooms have balconies or decks with ocean views, a jetted spa tub sits in an enclosed glass-and-cedar gazebo that looks toward the ocean, and a private path leads through the dunes to the ocean and joining the Discovery Trail.

Families and groups of friends appreciate this dune-adjacent condo property with 45 owner-decorated studios and one- and two-bedroom suites, all of which share close proximity to the beach as well as Ocean Shores Golf Course. There's a wide variety of lodging options, but all have stocked kitchens, sitting rooms, big windows, and gas fireplaces; most have decks or patios. Request a third-floor unit for the best views of the dunes and beach.

Steps from the shorefront of Penn Cove, this venerable historic lodge surrounded by old-growth firs was recently refreshed with more of a hip boutique hotel vibe (think Ace Hotel) while maintaining the rustic charm that's made it a favorite for decades. Accommodations have pedestal sinks but share bathrooms and are furnished with antiques and modern amenities; quarters on the north side have views of Penn Cove. More luxurious Lagoon Rooms, in a separate cedar motel, overlook a quiet, marshy expanse. A cluster of small, one-bedroom cabins have stone fireplaces and private baths, and share a hot tub. The on-site Ship of Fools restaurant and tavern are popular with locals.

Serene and traditional, this 1909 Tudor home is surrounded by opulent gardens and is near both Volunteer Park and Broadway—and it also has some rooms and suites that welcome children or pets. The living room is filled with comfortable furniture and lots of natural light. Guest rooms feel homey, though the rooms that haven't been recently updated seem a bit worn. Some rooms have views; some have hideaway beds in addition to the queen-size beds.

The first location of this Dutch hotel to land on the West Coast wears its design-forward mindset on the facade, adorned with a mural by local Native American artist Jeffrey Veregge. Cool, high-tech, and full of amenities, the hotel works well for the kind of young, connected people it aims to attract. Co-working spaces, art, and a 24/7 canteen fill the huge lobby, and a phone app operates everything from check-in to the room lights. 

Spacious and comfortable rooms—considered suites because there's a separate sitting area—shine with modern style and conveniences. All rooms have microwaves and refrigerators and five include kitchens.

In the late-19th-century Waddell Building, this reliable chain hotel in the center of downtown's museum district has spacious, modern rooms outfitted in bright Northwest colors with lots of 21st-century touches. You don't have to leave the premises to visit the popular restaurant, Stanford's Steak. 

A large stone fireplace in the great room adds some character at this lodge—a good thing, since guest rooms have updated but fairly standard motel furniture. You can't beat the location of this comfortable two-story family motel: it's just off the highway in Packwood, the gateway to Mount Rainier National Park and within striking distance of Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument.

With a name that's Italian for "luxury," you won't be surprised that this European-style hotel combines elegant furnishings and many modern amenities like flat-screen TVs. It's an intimate and elegant getaway, enhanced by gleaming marble floors, graceful archways, and babbling fountains in the lobby. There is a small fitness center, and guests also have access to the pool and fitness center at the Historic Davenport Hotel across the street.

This reliable chain property has an ideal location steps from Percival Landing Park and the Budd Inlet waterfront, and it's just a couple of blocks from several excellent restaurants and the Olympia Farmers Market. The polished rooms are decorated in neutral tones, and the suites have splashy bonuses like corner jetted tubs and chaise lounges. The lobby is a comfy spot with antler chandeliers and a gas fireplace. Perks include complimentary bottled water and fresh-baked cookies, and there's a full-service bar and restaurant.

The architecture in this historic landmark building, from the fireplaces to the stained-glass windows, makes for a stunning place to stay. A recent ownership change brought much-needed updating to many of the spaces, though some of the details still feel slightly out-of-date, particularly in the rugs and bedding. The large common areas are comfortable and friendly. There's room to move around in here, including a lovely backyard and decks with fabulous views. The Gaslight also has something few other B&Bs can claim: a seasonal heated pool out back.

Its splashy waterfront location—right in the center of the marina and just a block from the ferry terminal—makes this large, modern hotel a bit more interesting than your usual midrange chain property.

Rooms at this alpine-style pension set on a bluff and beside an evergreen forest come with unobstructed views of either the valley or the woods. Deluxe units have wooden balconies, whirlpool tubs, and separate sitting areas. The full breakfast typically includes Dutch babies (sweet, fluffy pancakes) or sourdough pancakes and sausage.

Designed in the tradition of a grand mountain lodge—with Native American wood carvings, Pendleton blankets, and a stunning log-beam lobby—this rustic-chic hotel is marred only by its bland suburban location in Vancouver, Washington. But this stylish retreat is a good choice if you're seeking distinctive rooms and resort amenities (an indoor pool and a health-and-fitness center) at significantly lower rates than what you'll pay in downtown Portland. Rooms are spacious, with custom-built wood furniture, and some suites have gas fireplaces. On-site Hudson's Bar & Grill serves consistently good Pacific Northwest–inspired fare.

At this relaxing, contemporary inn, wellness is the name of the game—there's a small but well-designed spa, reasonably priced packages include massage or other treatments, and a healthy breakfast buffet is served every morning.

Modern, spacious, and comfortably furnished rooms in the heart of downtown are the draw of this appealing property whose perks include a living room–style lobby with a two-sided glass fireplace, a casual restaurant, and a full-service spa. There's a well-equipped gym and a very nice indoor pool and hot tub, too.

The Hilton Seattle is a popular site for meetings, conventions, and the summer cruise set, where the newly renovated rooms are tasteful but nondescript—you'll be paying for a brand name here, reliable though it may be. Some rooms have views of the city skyline with a sliver of Elliott Bay in the distance. The best views can be found at Redtrees bar and restaurant, a recently redesigned and attractive contemporary space that serves a delicious tomato-glazed Pacific salmon, as well as other classics throughout the day. An underground passage connects the Hilton with the Rainier Square shopping concourse, the 5th Avenue Theater, and the Convention Center.

In the heart of downtown Vancouver, Washington, this sleek and contemporary Hilton is within walking distance of the Columbia River waterfront and downtown Vancouver's growing number of restaurants and bars, just across the river from Portland International Airport, and a 20-minute drive north of Portland's city center. It's a handsome, eco-conscious hotel with large rooms outfitted with flat-screen TVs, sturdy work desks, and smart bathrooms with granite accents. Rates are quite reasonable given the quality of the hotel and amenities, which also include a business center, fitness room, and indoor pool and hot tub.

You can count on this member of the national chain for cleanliness, comfortable beds, and friendly service, and all rooms include a refrigerator, microwave, and flat-screen TV. The indoor pool and hot tub are welcome features during cold eastern Washington winters. Cookies and milk are a nice treat in the evenings, and coffee and hot cocoa are also plentiful 24/7 and free for guests. Families especially like the spacious rooms and little extras, like board games in the lobby.

On the city's southwest side, this bright, attractive outpost of Hilton's popular extended-stay brand is great for families or those on longer trips, but its reasonable rates and handy features—patio with gas grills and a fire pit, big suites with well-designed kitchens—are appealing for all kinds of travelers. Although slightly outside downtown, it's a good base for exploring western Yakima's attractions and wineries.

This sleek, nautically themed chain hotel on northern Everett's bustling, attractive Port Gardner waterfront offers a number of pleasing features, including a pretty indoor pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and well-designed rooms with high-tech entertainment and work amenities. There's a 3½-mile multiuse trail just outside front door, along with kayak rentals, and the ferry to Jetty Island is nearby.

Hip and art-forward, the Hotel Max (for "Maximalism") blends artsy decor with punchy minimalism for an architect-office effect, and though most of the rooms are on the small side, they come with cushy trimmings. The work of local photographers is hung in the public spaces and paintings by local artists decorate the gray walls of the guest rooms—though accent colors like an orange bedspread or a red cushion save rooms from being drab. The hotel even features a Sub Pop floor, which pays homage to the famous Seattle record label that introduced the world to bands like Nirvana and Death Cab for Cutie; those rooms feature band posters and Crosley record players with a stash of vinyl albums. The downside to the Max is that rooms in the historic building can feel cramped, especially the bathrooms, which sorely lack in counter space.

Opened in 2022 inside an early-1900s building that was originally a hotel but was transformed into other businesses over the years, this centrally located boutique lodging has cheerfully furnished, reasonably priced rooms, many with views of the Gorge. The hotel is right in the center of Stevenson's quaint little business district, close to shopping and restaurants, but the hotel has its own inviting eatery and wine bar, 77 Cork & Tap Bistro. 

While it may look like a cookie-cutter chain hotel, many of the rooms at this midrange property set among tall trees have Mt. Rainier views, and suites have fireplaces or jetted tubs. Browse through the little shop, which is jam-packed with good-quality regional crafts and local beers and wines.

New ownership in 2020 has brought the former Mazama Country Inn, a longtime no-frills base camp for outdoor recreation enthusiasts, a new name, upgraded rooms and amenities, and an expanded focus on serving both sports enthusiasts and people who simply want to retreat and recharge away from it all. While the rooms don't have TVs, the inn has Wi-Fi throughout the property, co-working spaces, and private offices that can be rented by the day, week, or month. Rooms vary in style and may come with gas fireplaces, fridges, microwaves, coffee makers, sleeping lofts, jetted tubs, and patios. Inn amenities include a seasonal pool, hot tub, sauna, and tennis and pickleball courts. More upgrades are in the works, too.

Because this inn opened in 1915 during Soap Lake's heyday as a destination for health treatments, most rooms have a soaking tub with the natural mineral-rich water on tap. All of the pleasantly decorated rooms have wet bars with microwaves, refrigerators, coffeemakers, and a supply of dishes and cutlery. The cottages are fully equipped with their own kitchens and have patios where you can enjoy afternoon breezes.
