The best hotels in Port Angeles

What are the best hotels in Port Angeles?

Port Angeles sits between the dramatic Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, making it a brilliant base for exploring Washington’s wild beaches, ancient forests and mountain trails. There are some lovely B&Bs in the area, but Colette's Bed & Breakfast is our number one. Set in ten acres of ocean-facing gardens, it has elegant suites, log fires, gorgeous sea views and a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. It’s a particularly good choice for couples looking for a romantic escape.

Port Angeles is the main gateway to Olympic National Park, where you can explore the spectacular Hurricane Ridge, wander through old-growth forests and discover wild stretches of coastline. Closer to town, the waterfront is lovely for a stroll, while the Port Angeles City Pier offers great views across the strait. Don't miss a trip to Lake Crescent, with its clear blue water, forested shores and lovely walking trails.

Travel Information

• Fly to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, before taking the tram, ferry and bus to Port Angeles. The overland part of the trip should take around 3 hours. Alternatively, the drive from the airport takes around 2 hours and 45 minutes.
• Rural Washington State is wonderful for a road trip! Contact our online partner Rentalcars if you would like to hire a car.
• Travel between June and September for sunshine and warmer weather. Although Washington State is known for its wet weather, Port Angeles actually receives far less rainfall than the Seattle area, so conditions are great for outdoor activities year-round. Come in the winter if you're looking to ski, sledge and snowshoe up in the mountains.
