Two major freeways, Interstate 90 and Interstate 82, pass through the cities of Ellensburg and Yakima, where you'll find the highest concentration of lodgings. A few independent motels are available, but the majority are independently operated under familiar chain names. At the far northeastern end of the region sits Suncadia Resort, offering possibly the finest accommodations in the area. Several bed-and-breakfasts are also available, particularly in the lower Yakima Valley, near the plethora of wineries in the area. It is always prudent to call ahead for reservations, but the busiest tourist times include the third week in April, for Spring Barrel Tasting, and from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Popular with outdoor recreation enthusiasts, this posh boutique lodge in rugged Yakima River Canyon contains 10 spacious two-bedroom suites with full kitchens and offers a bounty of amenities and activities, including fishing and hunting guides, rafting trips, hiking trails, and superb dining. For a peaceful retreat in the wilderness, this riverside resort is hard to beat.
Plan a relaxing, pastoral idyll in one of the six extravagantly decorated accommodations at this sunny, refined country inn. It's set among orchards and farm fields in Grandview, between Sunnyside and Prosser. Private entrances, handsome fireplaces, and lavish beds are standard features with every suite, and some have decadent two-person tubs; one two-bedroom cottage has a full kitchen. Huckleberry pancakes and French toast are among the breakfast options, and the grounds abound with well-tended gardens and lovely spots to sit and soak up the sunshine.
This strikingly handsome boutique hotel, which is part of Hilton's indie-spirited Tapestry Collection, occupies a grand 1911 Masonic temple, and many of its architectural flourishes have been retained. The rooms are decidedly modern and quite cushy, with plush robes and linens, and high-end bath products. Guests can relax in several appealing common spaces, including a lending library–business center, fitness room, and modern lobby hung with works from a local gallery.
This sleek, smartly designed boutique inn offers a mix of suites and two-bedroom town homes with a wealth of creature comforts, including private entrances, fully equipped kitchens, pretty patios, and separate sitting areas. Distressed-wood furnishings help to impart Roslyn's funky vibe, but these rather posh accommodations feel quite contemporary, which can be a plus or a minus depending on your taste. The staff will happily book tours and arrange snowshoe, kayak, bike, and other recreational rentals.
Ellensburg's first downtown hotel in generations opened in 2020 and consists of a masterfully designed four-story building incorporating parts of a historic Elks Club building, complete with stylish high-ceilinged rooms with tall windows and thoughtful touches, such as sliding barn-style bathroom doors, bedside reading lamps, and lots of outlets and media ports for your gadgets.
