Flight

PORTLAND, OR

Portland Airport (PDX) is the closest hub to Hood River. From there it's a 1-hour drive east-bound along the Columbia River Gorge. Soak in these scenic views and don't miss out on the must see stops along the way (See Stops & Sites).

Hotel

Best Western Plus Hood River Inn

If you're like us, maybe you're slightly sketched out when you hear Best Western, but rest assured this place has been vetted! It gives mountain town lodge vibes, with a walking trail in it's backyard, and Hood River's only river-front restaurant. Like to swim? Enjoy more gorge-ous views in a heated outdoor pool or hot tub

Hotel

Hood River Hotel

This hotel has vintage charm and is located in the heart of downtown Hood River. It's connected to a wonderful Scandinavian breakfast spot and has the coziest lobby. That said, the elevator will transport you right back to the 1920's and rooms can leave a bit to be desired in terms of size and amenities (read: no closet space and sinks in the bedroom)

Hotel

Columbia Gorge Hotel & Spa

This historic hotel has added some modern touches while preserving it's original ornate charm. The views are stunning and you might stumble upon live music in their lobby, but fair warning...there are rumors it may be haunted! Although this hotel is just down the road from the venue, walking is dangerous and prohibited.

Hotel

Inn at the Gorge

A veryyy quaint little Bed and Breakfast that is easily walkable to downtown Hood River, but not on the main thoroughfare through town.
