3 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. Distressed-wood furnishings help to impart Roslyn's funky vibe, but these rather posh accommodations feel quite contemporary, which can be a plus or a minus depending on your taste. The staff will happily book tours and arrange snowshoe, kayak, bike, and other recreational rentals.

Pros

  • Airy, spacious suites
  • Steps from Roslyn's dining and shopping
  • Kitchenettes or kitchens in every unit

Cons

  • A little pricey for the area
  • Lacks Roslyn's old-fashioned charm
  • No gym

Inn at Desert Wind

$$$ | 2258 Wine Country Rd., Prosser, 99350, USA Fodor's Choice
The four cushiest guest suites in the Yakima Valley occupy the upper floors of the beautiful Desert Wind Winery, and each of these Santa Fe–style hideaways abounds with warm, inviting features—kiva-style gas fireplaces, leather armchairs, hardwood floors, Oriental rugs, and balconies overlooking a sunny courtyard, the Yakima River, and Mt. Adams. Rates include a hot breakfast delivered to your room as well as a bottle of wine. The location, just off of Interstate 82, is handy for visiting the many other wineries in Prosser and nearby Benton City.
