In May, resort company Under Canvas put down its first-ever stakes in the Pacific Northwest with a 120-acre glamp camp nestled in Washington’s White Salmon River Valley. Guests can get cozy in canvas tents furnished with plush king-size beds and gas fireplaces, plus private bathrooms and showers. Its location provides no shortage of things to do: whitewater rafting, fishing, hikes among waterfalls, wine tasting,  stargazing—even thrifting. In the evening, pop by the restaurant for bowls of cioppino or wild king salmon, and finish the night by the communal firepits for nightly s’mores. If you’re thinking of bringing work with you, think again: This glampground takes the meaning of unplugging seriously (a.k.a. no Wi-Fi). The retreat is open to bookings May 29–Oct 27, 2025, and April 23–Oct 26, 2026.

Situated in the heart of wine country, this boutique hotel opened in June following a $16.5 million revitalization project to enhance the Merchant Block in downtown Dayton. The hotel is built within the second floor of the now connected Stuckey, Harris, and Bank of Dayton buildings and combines the historic facades with a modernized interior. The guest rooms are minimalistic, with walk-in rainfall showers and breakfast delivered to your door. And the hotel’s central location in the small agricultural town offers easy access to local restaurants (we dig Loam and the Joel Palmer House, both within a 10-minute walk) and vineyards (Stoller and Sokol Blosser are within a 10-minute drive).   

After three years restoring the historic Hotel Waucoma in downtown Hood River, Lightwell Hotel and Spa is slated to open this November with an on-site sauna, postcard-worthy views of the Columbia River Gorge, and four on-site restaurants and bars (including a rooftop cocktail lounge). The hotel’s four-story, namesake light well, built in 1910, is now fully uncovered, showering sunlight onto Mediterranean restaurant Viento. Down a white oak staircase, guests will stumble across the hotel’s subterranean spa and soaking pool, built into its original basalt stone foundation. And for those looking to explore Hood River’s surrounding wonderland of year-round recreation, an outdoor concierge on the hotel’s ground floor is there to assist. Bookings for the fall are now open.

When it opened last winter on NE Alberta, this cushy hotel meets luxe thermal spa was unlike anything in the city—let alone the neighborhood. Originally designed to be a co-living space, the hotel’s 100 studios and suites are remarkably well appointed (think kitchenettes with fancy speed ovens and induction burners, in-room washers and dryers), and the on-site Portuguese-Japanese restaurant, Terra Mae, is Keith Lee approved. But the real draw is the “spring”: A sun-soaked conservatory pool lush with rare plants; an underground spa with soaking pools, a sauna, a steam room, and a cold plunge; and an outdoor “secret garden” sporting hot tubs, its own sauna, and a dedicated café. Locals can opt for a day pass to the thermal springs if a staycation isn’t in the cards. 

The iconic bookseller and Ulysses publisher Sylvia Beach once said she couldn’t keep a dog and a James Joyce and a bookshop, but her namesake hotel in Newport vows to keep book lovers content. Perched on a cliff overlooking Nye Beach, this literary-themed boutique hotel reopened its doors in July after a whopping two-million-dollar renovation. Formerly named the Sylvia Beach Hotel, the revamped inn continues to pay tribute to literary giants like Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, and William Shakespeare with its themed guest rooms, as well as two new authors, Maya Angelou and C. S. Lewis. Guests can curl up with a book in the expanded James Joyce attic library or sit down for breakfast at the new oceanfront Café Sylvia. Though the recent facelift introduced a more modern feel to the century-old hotel, it hasn’t lost any of its original charm.

Since the spring of 2024, this longstanding Rogue River lodge has been working on a serious glow-up, rolling out a handful of upgrades. The biggest development: mirrored glass cabins with 360-degree views of the nearby creek and forest. If sleeping in a glass box feels a little intimidating, the lodge rooms kept their comfy charm and river-view decks, some with private soaking tubs. Stay on-site to take a dip in the outdoor pool or sweat it out in the riverside wood-burning sauna, or explore the Rogue by kayak or fishing boat. When dinnertime rolls around, Chef Derek Piva at the hotel restaurant will handle the cantaloupe gazpacho or Pacific Rogue Wagyu rib eye.
