249 Best Hotels in Washington, USA

One of the largest and most reliable lodging options in Prosser, this fairly typical two-story Best Western stands out for being just a few hundred feet from the exceptional wineries of Vintner's Village and a short drive from Benton City. 

Large, comfortable rooms, a business center, gym, and an indoor pool and hot tub make this reasonably priced chain property a good find, especially for visiting Zillah wineries and checking out the museums and murals in Toppenish. Kids love the free cookies and milk served each evening.

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.

The charming lodging options here range from affordable, compact rooms with private baths down the hall, to downright cushy two-bedroom suites with gas fireplaces, spacious sitting rooms, pitched ceilings, and terrific harbor views. Whatever room you choose, you're treated to great service, beds with fine linens, an expansive continental breakfast, free use of bicycles, flat-screen TVs, and iPod docks. The hotel's sister property, the Earthbox Inn & Spa, is also downtown and well recommended.

Formerly the Alpen Rose, this inn just outside of town was renovated in 2020 by new owners, who upgraded the property with modern room amenities like 50-inch smart TVs, Keurig coffee makers, and gas fireplaces, along with enhanced outdoor features including a seasonal pool, year-round hot tub and treehouse sauna, firepits, and free bikes. Some rooms have balconies with views of the mountains, and others have their own firepit on the covered patio. The inn's exterior has Leavenworth's standard Bavarian look, but the rooms are anything but cookie-cutter, with a variety of layouts and decor.

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.

This handsome 1908 Craftsman-style bed-and-breakfast is in downtown Vancouver, a short walk from several good restaurants, bars, and shops, on a quiet street surrounded by perfectly manicured gardens. The three rooms are elegantly furnished—the more masculine Hemingway Room, with its darker palette, has a private bath. Two other lacier, floral-inspired rooms, one with a king bed and fireplace, and the other with two twins, share a bathroom and are popular with families. Proximity to Interstate 5 makes the 8-mile drive to downtown Portland a snap, and the inn is also convenient to Portland International Airport and the main route leading into the Columbia Gorge. A substantial full breakfast is included.

Each room at this sprawling resort—a family favorite since 1901 and situated on beautifully landscaped grounds alongside a marina and a pristine, 1,200-foot, Lake Chelan beach—has balcony views of the lake or mountains; some rooms also have a kitchen or fireplace. A major draw here is the wealth of activities, from treatments in the day spa to plenty of kids' programs in summer. There's a lively pub, too, that turns out straightforward comfort food and offers live music some nights.

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.

Some rooms have views; some have hideaway beds in addition to the queen-size beds.

Registered as a national and state historic site, this 1905 Flemish-style inn, 15 miles southeast of Pullman in Uniontown, was once a parish house for the adjacent church; some of the homey, traditionally furnished rooms have views of the countryside, and one suite has its own kitchen. Book well in advance during WSU games and events.

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. 

The well-appointed rooms all have private decks at this roadside lodging across from Grand Coulee Dam, with easy access to hiking trails and fishing. The seasonal pool, year-round hot tub, and sauna are welcome amenities after a day of recreation. A nice perk: the second floor rooms have views of the laser light show on the dam.

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.

Across from the INB Performing Arts Center and Riverfront Park, Spokane's largest lodging and newest hotel in the Davenport collection features business-friendly amenities (there is a skybridge directly to the convention center) that make it popular with traveling executives.

The hotel has a fitness center, lounge, coffee bar, and two restaurants. Though there's no pool, guests can use the pools at two other Davenport hotels a few blocks away.

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.

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.

The lively Safari Room Grill has delightful scenes from the African savanna, and that motif continues through the rest of this 21-story tower. For example, many of the extremely comfortable rooms and suites have leopard-print pillows on the cloud-soft beds, along with luxurious furnishings and modern amenities like flatscreen TVs. Baths have marble showers and vanities. There's a pool, hot tub, sauna, and fitness center.

Perched on a bluff above the Strait of Juan de Fuca, these opulent suites and cottages have updated contemporary decor, colorful murals, fireplaces, and water, mountain, and garden views.

The Lake Crescent Suite has French doors leading to a private outdoor patio that looks out to the ocean; the Hoh Rainforest Suite has cathedral ceilings and expansive water views; and the top floor Hurricane Ridge Suite has a ski-lodge style fireplace, steam shower sauna, and more great views. The grounds include a replica of a portion of Claude Monet's Giverny garden, woodland and waterfall gardens, and a picking garden where guests can help themselves to flowers and berries. Four-course breakfasts, delivered to your room if you'd like, and gourmet snacks are all available.

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.

Thoughtful and friendly owners Anthony and Crystal Rovente operate this large Victorian-style farmhouse surrounded by gardens and framed by Fisherman Bay, where spacious rooms are each painted or papered in different pastel shades and furnished with simple antiques; some have claw-foot tubs and brick fireplaces. The sunny dining room is a cheery breakfast spot. In summer you can sip tea on the wraparound ground-floor veranda or relax with a book on the garden patio. The place looks as if it's at least a century old, but it actually dates from 1988.

Literally perched over Elliott Bay, the rustic-chic Edgewater has spectacular west-facing views of ferries and sailboats, seals and seabirds, and the distant Olympic Mountains, so don't even think of booking a city-view room. For a romantic splurge, consider booking one of the hotel's premium waterfront rooms, which feature cushy club chairs in front of a fireplace and spacious bathrooms with glass-encased showers and large claw-foot tubs. There's something a little magical about sleeping above gently lapping water, which you can also enjoy in the more affordable regular waterfront rooms. While the small city rooms don't offer much in the way of views and may not be worth the price for some, the hotel's jaw-dropping lobby frames an expansive view of Puget Sound and Seattle's waterfront and is perfect for an hour or two of contemplative relaxation.  If you just want a taste of the hotel, stop into the elegant Six Seven restaurant for indoor-outdoor seating with a bay vista (there's also a more casual bar).

Less than a mile uphill from downtown, and surrounded by meticulously cared for gardens, this inviting 1926 inn overlooks the mountains and the bay and contains elegant rooms with Victorian furnishings and wallpapers.
