3 Best Hotels in Port Townsend, The Olympic Peninsula and Washington Coast

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.

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.

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. The sprawling penthouse fills the top two floors and has a full kitchen, dining area, and two private decks.
