9 Best Hotels in The Olympic Peninsula and Washington Coast, Washington

Opened in 2019 by veterans of the local fishing industry, this dapper boutique hotel with roomy, thoughtfully designed accommodations overlooks Ilwaco's scenic marina and Baker Bay and abounds with welcoming features, from complimentary wine and beer at check-in to cruiser bikes to in-room Amazon Alexa entertainment stations. Light breakfasts are delivered to guests' rooms in the morning, and the excellent Waterline Pub serves delicious lunch and dinner fare. Eco-friendly bath products, lighting, and other green features are used throughout the property.

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.

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.

Set along Long Beach's colorful main drag, this collection of comfortable and attractively furnished cottages includes a range of accommodation options, from cozy studios to two-bedroom units with kitchens that are perfect for families. All units have private decks, refrigerators, electric kettles, and French press coffee makers, and local pastries are delivered to each cottage in the morning, a hospitable touch though not a full breakfast. Beyond a cute barrel sauna, common spaces are limited, but guests are welcome to use the pool, spa, beach bikes, and other amenities at the sister property, the Adrift Hotel, which is just a few minutes away on foot—as is the beach. 

Set near a verdant golf course a short drive from downtown and the Olympic National Park Visitor Center, this rambling hotel designed in the style of a rustic lodge has warmly furnished rooms done in earth tones and including leather armchairs, along with a slew of common amenities—a pool, fitness center, lush gardens, and an airy guest lounge with a fireplace and two walls of soaring windows. Book a room facing the golf course and mountains to avoid the din and view of U.S. 101 and several fast-food restaurants.

In a former bordello that retains its 19th-century grandeur, this reasonably priced inn has light-filled rooms—many named for the women who used to work here—that feature 14-foot ceilings, towering windows, and elegant period furnishings like hand-carved dressers, wrought-iron bed frames, and big claw-foot bathtubs. A corner suite retains its original fireplace and a fainting couch. Grand sitting areas anchor all three levels, and the mezzanine has a balcony overlooking the entryway and a circular ceiling mural.

With its cute and cheerfully furnished cottages—most of which sleep four guests and feature small kitchens—this idyllic compound is on a beachside bluff overlooking Dungeness Bay, Dungeness Spit, and Vancouver Island in the distance. Each unit has a small deck or sitting area with Adirondack chairs, and several cottages have jetted tubs and fireplaces.

On the edge of downtown overlooking Point Hudson Marina, this four-story boutique hotel features well-lighted, airy rooms with balconies and gorgeous bay views as well as spacious cottages, most with jetted tubs and fireplaces.
