Couples have plenty of reasons to be attracted to the Evergreen State. From hip Seattle boutiques to secluded inns on the San Juan Islands, there's a little something for everyone in this corner of the Pacific Northwest. Check out some of our favorite hotels ready for romance here.
The Outlook Inn is aptly named; the hotel has stunning views of Eastsound from almost anywhere you stand. This property is the only full-service hotel in Eastsound and its romantic ambience, on-site chapel, and excellent food from the New Leaf Cafe make it a popular spot for wedding parties. Units vary greatly, though, as standard rooms have seen better days while suites feature updated private bathrooms with large tubs, luxe details such as fireplaces and flat-screen TVs, and killer views.
2. Salish Lodge & Spa, Snoqualmie Valley
The Salish Lodge & Spa features 84 rooms in a gorgeous setting overlooking the falls in Snoqualmie, about a 40-minute drive from Seattle. The historic property, which originally opened with only eight rooms back in 1916, is a popular romantic getaway and wedding destination. The restaurants feature beautiful views, and the elegant spa has numerous signature treatments (including one with homemade honey!). Sexy rooms have wood-burning fireplaces and peek-a-boo bathrooms with two-person tubs. The entire property has a soothing, rustic-luxe style; features such as stone fireplaces, stacked firewood, cashmere throws, bookcases, and warm, earth tones complement the outdoor scenery.
3. Four Seasons Hotel Seattle, Downtown, Seattle
It’s hard to go wrong with this top luxury hotel that has some of the best views in Seattle, not to mention a restaurant with an acclaimed local chef, a rooftop infinity pool, and 147 spacious, classically comfortable rooms. The business-y surroundings might preclude the opulence of larger Four Seasons properties, but what you lose in neighborhood ambiance you gain in vistas and proximity to the best Seattle attractions.
