2 Best Hotels in White Salmon, Southeastern Washington

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.

This sweet and simple 1930s redbrick hotel is the only accommodation in charming White Salmon, and it's a friendly, well-maintained, and convenient base for taking advantage of many opportunities for rafting, hiking, and wine tasting nearby. Suites have kitchenettes.
