Fodor's Expert Review Bowline Hotel
1 9th St., Astoria, Oregon, 97103, USA Fodor's Choice
This smartly decorated boutique hotel is set inside a beautifully retrofitted former seafood-processing plant with an absolutely prime location on the Columbia River and Astoria's Riverwalk boardwalk and trolley line, and a swanky bar with Scandinavian-inspired food and craft cocktails. Part of the acclaimed Adrift Hospitality hotel group, which is based just across the river in Long Beach, Washington, the Bowline has a sleek, unfussy aesthetic. Many rooms have patios directly overlooking the river, along with such plush features as gas fireplaces, deep soaking tubs, and premium in-room coffee and tea. A $9 amenity fee covers use of riverside saunas and bikes to explore town.
