Salish Lodge & Spa
It's hard to imagine a more beautiful setting than Snoqualmie Falls, or a more iconic Washington State resort getaway than Salish Lodge & Spa. 30 minutes from Seattle, Salish Lodge provides a quintessential Pacific Northwest experience. Each of our 86 guestrooms is a luxury retreat of its own. All have gas fireplaces, spa-like showers with dual showerheads or oversized soaking tubs, and many have views of the Snoqualmie River. It's the perfect place to create an incredible romantic getaway or to relax after a day of hiking the local trails. The Spa at Salish Lodge specializes in Northwest-inspired treatments featuring honey from our on-site apiary. Our two restaurants bring you mouthwatering Pacific Northwest cuisine. The Dining Room provides a first-of-the-season experience featuring flavors that sing the virtues of local and homegrown, and The Attic offers casual surroundings and wood-fired pizza and sandwiches. You'll find our signature Salish honey on those menus too! Just look for the Salish bee highlighting our sweet offerings. Our beloved Lodge is part of Snoqualmie history. Originally The Snoqualmie Falls Lodge, it began as an eight-room inn built in 1916 and quickly became famous for its Country Breakfast which nourished visitors before they journeyed over the mountain pass. In 1988, the building was completely remodeled and reopened as The Salish Lodge. It is now proudly owned by the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe. Some may recognize the Salish Lodge as the setting for Twin Peaks™, the David Lynch TV mystery series. Salish Lodge & Spa has been updated over the years to feature contemporary and luxury amenities, while maintaining the serene Pacific Northwest feel we are known for. And, we still serve our famous four-course Country Breakfast with the iconic Honey from Heaven™ service where honey from our own hives is poured from high above your plate onto buttery house-made biscuits - a Salish Lodge tradition that keeps visitors coming back year after year.
