The Tides Inn & Suites

Our two very distinctive waterfront properties (Tides Inn and Tides Suites) located next to each other offer comfort and amenities for all types of travelers. We are conveniently located within 5 minute walking distance to historic downtown Port Townsend for all your dining, shopping, and entertainment needs. Our relaxing waterfront setting on the waters of Port Townsend Bay provides the perfect stay. Sit back on your private deck and take a deep breath of clean, fresh air as you revel in the sights and sounds of nature’s seascape. Enjoy the view of parades of sailboats, kayaks, and ferries on the water and look up to see the spectacular view of both the Cascades and Olympic mountains. On a clear day, a view of the majestic Mt. Rainier can also be seen. Look for the families of deer that frequent our property (they stay for free) and roam through the town.

Manresa Castle Hotel

Manresa Castle was built in 1892 as a private home for a prominent Port Townsend resident, influenced by his former Prussian homeland. It then became a Jesuit training center for priests, before finally becoming a hotel in 1968. You can stay overnight at Manresa Castle or enjoy a meal at two restaurants (The Rook and The Green Room). There's also a fun bar in the basement (The Elephant Room).

Palace Hotel Port Townsend

Palace Hotel (1889) started out as billiard parlor and saloon, and the upstairs rooms eventually became a brothel in the 1920s to mid-30s. The rooms still bear the names of some of the original prostitutes; like Miss Simone, Miss Lilly, and Miss Ruby. The hotel is apparently haunted, with an eerie painting of a Victorian woman in a blue gown at the top of the stairs, who guests claim has roamed the hotel.

The Belmont Hotel

Belmont Hotel (1889) is on the waterfront along Water Street, and has stylish, renovated rooms with water views. There's also a project underway to transform the lobby into an incredible marketplace, restaurant and coffee shop.

The Monarch Hotel (1889) is also along Water Street, in the prominent N.D. Hill Building, and started out as a pharmacy, before becoming a hotel in the 1920s, then a tavern from the 1930s with long term apartments upstairs. Most of the rooms offer water views. Movie buffs will recognize this hotel from the fight scene in the 1982 movie Officer and a Gentleman
