95 Best Hotels in Washington, USA

The Ace is a dream come true for anyone who appreciates unique minimalist decor, with touches like army-surplus blankets, industrial metal sinks, and street art breaking up any notion of austerity; the cheapest rooms share bathrooms, which have enormous showers. Almost everything is white—even the wood floors and brick walls have been painted—making elements like randomly placed tree stumps pop in the gallery-like spaces. A small dining room hosts a continental breakfast and has a vending machine with unusual items like Japanese snacks and hangover cures. This is a very specific experience and aesthetic: if you're not soothed (or stimulated) by the stripped-down quality of the rooms or not amused by finding a copy of the Kama Sutra where the Bible would be, you may want to stay elsewhere.

This downtown brick inn with an inviting garden seating area in back and a cheerful wine bar–coffeehouse on the ground floor provides a pleasing balance of 19th-century charm and 21st-century updates, and most of the one- and two-bedroom suites have garden, mountain, or water views, as well as fireplaces and kitchenettes. The Bishop Block Bottle Shop café specializes in organic wines and serves creative tapas as well as beer, cider, and cocktails, too. A additional full-service restaurant is planned by mid-2023.

Most of the cheerfully furnished contemporary rooms at this chalet-style inn, trimmed with honey-colored wood and warmed with gas fireplaces, overlook the picturesque Swinomish Channel. The vast majority of the rooms have private balconies or patios, and some have jetted tubs. A sister property, La Conner Country Inn, is just a couple of blocks away and also has nice rooms, but it isn't on the waterfront.

Blissfully remote and breathtakingly scenic even by Olympic Peninsula standards, this seasonal compound of cabins between Clallam Bay and Neah Bay sits on a remote beach with panoramas across the Strait of San Juan de Fuca toward Vancouver Island. Surrounded by aromatic gardens, these cabins are an idyllic perch for whale, sea lion, sea otter, eagle, and other wildlife viewing, and each cabin has a well-equipped kitchen, an outdoor area with a picnic table, and tasteful furnishings and artwork.

Less than 4 miles from glorious Lake Crescent in Olympic National Park, this smartly updated old-fashioned motor court next to a quaint '50s restaurant offers attractively appointed rooms with wood paneling, ranging from cozy standard rooms with queen beds to an airy three-bedroom guest house with vaulted ceilings. This is a perfect location convenient to both the national park and Port Angeles. Granny's Cafe serves hearty breakfast, lunch, and dinner fare; when the restaurant is closed in winter, however, it's a bit of a drive to get breakfast elsewhere.

Outdoorsy types, visitors who want to stay in a low-key residential area, and anyone who wants to feel pampered and refreshed will enjoy this lovely B&B across the street from beautiful Green Lake. Some of the rooms feature private baths with jetted tubs, gas fireplaces, and new furnishings, and all are clean and charming. The full breakfast alternates between made-to-order savory (a spinach-and-feta omelet, for example) and sweet (such as Brie-and-apple French toast), with a few extra options for guests with food allergies or restrictions. Guests also love the complimentary wine-and-cheese hour on weeknights and the outdoor patio with views of the lake.

Designed to capture the spirit of the region's indigenous heritage and early trading post days, this rambling, upscale hotel is an excellent base for exploring Vancouver and even Northeast Portland.

With reasonable rates, considering the smartly appointed rooms and thoughtful amenities, this small mid-century modern motel in a quiet neighborhood a mile west of downtown has been artfully updated with custom-built wood furniture and tiled bathrooms. You can pull your car right up to the door of your room. Common areas include a bright lobby where coffee is available in the morning.

Inside a strikingly converted apartment tower dating from the 1880s, this chic boutique hotel offers rooms and suites (which have full kitchens) in a newer section with a sleek mid-century modern vibe, as well as cozy and more economical rooms in the original building. All accommodations feature pleasing touches like original local art, French presses with gourmet coffee, Bluetooth speakers, and Italian linens. Beyond the grand lobby, the intimate Amendment 21 bar serves craft cocktails and well-prepared gastropub fare.

This strikingly handsome boutique hotel, which is part of Hilton's indie-spirited Tapestry Collection, occupies a grand 1911 Masonic temple, and many of its architectural flourishes have been retained. The rooms are decidedly modern and quite cushy, with plush robes and linens, and high-end bath products. Guests can relax in several appealing common spaces, including a lending library–business center, fitness room, and modern lobby hung with works from a local gallery.

Several years after the historic Waples Mercantile Building in downtown Lynden was gutted by fire, a small group of friends transformed this building on the National Registry of Historic Places into a stunning boutique hotel with timber beams, wood floors, and rough-hewn walls.

This 1928 hotel is the landmark in downtown Walla Walla, and guest quarters include spacious two-room parlor suites and spa suites in the historic tower building—adorned with Italian furnishings and lots of amenities, these rooms are well worth the splurge. The Marc restaurant has excellent cuisine and a wine list that has won several awards from the Washington Wine Commission. You can sample local wines at the Vineyard Lounge.

With country antiques, fluffy quilts, and big windows overlooking peaceful pastures, this 1916 farmhouse on the east side of downtown Forks is nicknamed the "Cullen House" for its resemblance to the description in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books. A separate apartment has a private entrance and kitchenette. All rooms have TVs and refrigerators, and some also have microwaves. One parlor has a library and piano; the other has games. Lemonade and cookies are served on the front porch in summer.

With its hand-carved Alaskan cedar logs, burnished parquet floors, stone fireplaces, and glorious mountain views, this 1917 inn is a classic example of a national park lodge.

In addition to the full-service dining room, there's a small snack bar and a snug lounge.

Good value meets great location at this comfortable boutique hotel with friendly service and tasteful contemporary furnishings, including a decent-size desk for business travelers.

With an enviable location overlooking the Chewuch River and just a stone's throw from Winthrop's quirky shops and eateries, this small compound of one- to three-bedroom cabins with kitchens—and in most cases hot tubs and river views—is a terrific find and a great value. These contemporary cabins are simply but cheerfully furnished and all have the comforts of home, such as reliable Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and pots, pans, and cooking utensils.

Shipbuilding magnate Robert Moran built this Arts and Crafts–style waterfront mansion in 1909, and it's now the centerpiece of a gorgeous 40-acre resort that comprises several buildings with sweeping views of Cascade Bay and Rosario Point. Accommodations range from moderately priced standard guest rooms to deluxe one- and two-bedroom suites with fireplaces, decks, and full kitchens. The historic main house, home to the romantic Mansion restaurant as well as a small but excellent history museum, has retained its original mission-style furniture and numerous antiques; its centerpiece, an Aeolian organ with 1,972 pipes, is used for concerts in the music room. You can hike, whale-watch, and kayak nearby or stay in for a day of pampering in the on-site spa.

Featuring a converted 1937 schoolhouse and a ring of sleek cabins set around a spa and bathhouse, this stylish but unpretentious Scandinavian-inspired compound is a perfect base for hiking, wine touring, and chilling out on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge. Like its sister property in Portland, the Society offers budget-friendly hostel accommodations in smartly designed group bunk rooms as well as private rooms with shared baths, but the gorgeous cedar cabins are a great fit if you're looking for something a bit swankier, as they have nicely outfitted kitchenettes and covered patios with hammocks and picnic tables. In addition to the bathhouse with wet-spa facilities and massage rooms, the inviting and ample common spaces include a large lobby-library lounge and a café serving espresso drinks, cocktails, and light food.

Comprising six airy, high-ceilinged modern cabins with stylish kitchenettes, indoor-outdoor geothermal soaking tubs, and expansive decks, this 100-acre woodland hideaway is ideal for a restorative retreat in nature—within moments of your arrival, you'll probably notice your blood pressure abating. This a cabin-rental complex rather than a hotel per se, as there's no lobby or common facilities, but that also means you'll enjoy total privacy throughout your stay. Downtown Stevenson is a 10-minute drive, and there's plenty of great hiking nearby. 

This cozy complex just across from downtown overlooks the marina on one side and Grays Harbor on the other. The contemporary cabins have full kitchens, queen beds as well as trundle beds (making these great for small families), and small decks overlooking the water, many with jetted tubs. There's fishing right outside your door, and it's a short walk to the beach at Westport Light State Park.

Operated by the Jamestown S'Kallam Tribe and containing its popular casino, this five-story hotel has some of the most stylish and contemporary accommodations on the peninsula—rooms are at least 400 square feet and feature floor-to-ceiling windows and local tribal artwork. Although it draws plenty of fans of gaming, the hotel is a convenient choice for all, set on U.S. 101 right by Sequim Bay State Park and offering a pretty good restaurant and—a short drive down the road—an extensive market and deli. Play-and-stay packages include a round of golf at the tribal-owned Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course, a few miles away.

These sweet downtown cottages from the 1950s sleep from two to nine guests, overlook a grove of evergreens, and lead out to a private ¼-mile path that leads to the beach. All are outfitted with fully stocked kitchens, fireplaces (in most cases), and flat-screen TVs. A play area make this a great place to bring kids. Two pets per cottage are welcome, too.

A giant indoor pool is a rarity in the Pacific Northwest, making this spot in demand for that reason alone, but the proximity to Woodinville's wine country and location in the sweet lakeside suburb of Bothell are almost as compelling. Like all of the properties from quirky hospitality group McMenamins, the unique art (each room has a name, biography, and custom headboard) and fun story behind the property are part of the draw. However, the sometimes overzealous branding also means the signage is sparse and confusing, so you have to wander to find the brewery, movie theater, and that famous pool.

Taking cues from the tech industry, this hotel aims to be "innovation-inspired." The crisp, attractive rooms include upscale touches like Jonathan Adler toiletries, colorful ombre blinds, and wallpaper meant to look like a birds-eye view of the Space Needle. From upper floor rooms the view looks out at the Space Needle or the city skyline; occupants of the lower floors can catch that view from the rooftop bar.

Near the downtown Edmonds waterfront, this well-maintained mid-range hotel has a more upscale vibe than a typical Best Western, with comfortable country-style rooms, many with fireplaces, kitchens, or oversize jetted bathtubs. Standard amenities include flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, and pillow-top mattresses.
