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.
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.
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.
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 mid-rise property overlooking the Yakima Greenway path and the Yakima River has good-size rooms with separate sitting areas, and many with patios or balconies overlooking the river and hills beyond. Just off the freeway but with easy access to nature, the hotel is just east of downtown.
