WELCOME TO LIGHTWELL

Stash your gear, settle in with a glass of Oregon wine, and stay well. When you stay at Lightwell Hotel, wild beauty is all around: wind-whipped waves, hills laced with trails, and views that don’t need a filter. Tucked inside our hotel in Hood River, discover thoughtfully designed guest rooms, a spa for slowing down (coming soon), and restaurants where great food, epic views, and grand plans flow.

Your Hood River Retreat

STAY WELL

Your room is your haven. Our Gorge View Suites provide room to roam, while corner queens are ideal for quiet recharging. All 69 rooms feature steam-filled showers, cloud-soft beds, and views that don’t quit. You and your wet gear are welcome here. Settle in, you’ve earned it.

Wellness & Adventure

BE WELL

Start the day with a sauna session that melts the to-do list away. Slow down with a massage tailored to your needs (unwind, reset, recover, rejuvenate, or pamper), and the kind of calm that lingers long after checkout. When it’s time to move, our on-site adventure outfitters will set you up with everything to paddle, ride, and explore the best of Hood River.

SPA AT LIGHTWELL WILL OPEN IN DECEMBER

“If you’re an outdoors junkie or a PNW aficionado, then Hood River and the Columbia River Gorge are on your radar—and a hotel of this level has never really existed here. Thanks to a group of local outdoors lovers, this once-abandoned building is entering an exciting new chapter.”

– Condé Nast Traveler

“The boutique Lightwell Hotel & Spa offers well-appointed rooms and panoramic Gorge views along with an on-site Mediterranean restaurant, Hood River’s first rooftop bar and a luxurious spa.”

– Portland Monthly

“It’s a boutique hotel, but it’s also a historic hotel,” said developer Carrington “Ceb” Barrs. “We’re blending modern comfort and features in the rooms with significant historic nods throughout the public spaces—while keeping the exterior as historically accurate as possible.”

“For the first time in a century, downtown Hood River has a full service hotel again.⁠ The central architectural feature—and namesake—of the project is a four‑story light well, formed in 1910 as an L‑shaped annex. ⁠Fully uncovered and restored, it brings natural sunlight streaming in from a glass ceiling to both the restaurant and the guest rooms that surround it.”
