2 Best Hotels in Sequim, The Olympic Peninsula and Washington Coast

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.

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.
