8 Best Hotels in Washington Wine Country, Washington

Background Illustration for Hotels

Two major freeways, Interstate 90 and Interstate 82, pass through the cities of Ellensburg and Yakima, where you'll find the highest concentration of lodgings. A few independent motels are available, but the majority are independently operated under familiar chain names. At the far northeastern end of the region sits Suncadia Resort, offering possibly the finest accommodations in the area. Several bed-and-breakfasts are also available, particularly in the lower Yakima Valley, near the plethora of wineries in the area. It is always prudent to call ahead for reservations, but the busiest tourist times include the third week in April, for Spring Barrel Tasting, and from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Hotel Roslyn

$$$ | 103 W. Washington Ave., Roslyn, 98941, USA Fodor's Choice

This sleek, smartly designed boutique inn offers a mix of suites and two-bedroom town homes with a wealth of creature comforts, including private entrances, fully equipped kitchens, pretty patios, and separate sitting areas.

  • Kitchenettes or kitchens in every unit

Cons

  • A little pricey for the area
