Hotel Information: Fresh air, wooded hills, and the sounds of majestic Snoqualmie Falls greet guests arriving at this Craftsman-style lodge. The exterior is so emblematic of the Northwest that it was shown in the opening shots of the 1990–91 TV series Twin Peaks. In the lobby, a copper-topped fireplace, beamed ceiling, slate floors, leather chairs, and baskets of pinecones create a rustically elegant effect.

Amenity highlights: Recipient of numerous national awards, the Asian-inspired Spa at Salish Lodge is a soothing refuge with hand-crafted shoji doors and aromatic cedar ceiling. Two small soaking pools are linked by a waterfall; large windows face the treetops. Spa treatments incorporate essential oils and botanicals. The hotel's main restaurant showcases Pacific Northwest cuisine accompanied by views of the river canyon.

Insider tip: Early-rising guests are often treated to the sight of rainbows shimmering in the mist rising from the falls. The best viewpoint is the Snoqualmie Falls Park observation deck, a three-minute walk from the lodge. Plummeting 270 feet, the falls are about 100 feet higher than Niagara.
