Couples looking for a romantic getaway will not find a more luxurious, romantic, or convenient place than Salish Lodge.

Salish Lodge and Spa Location

Snoqualmie Falls and the river canyon below provide breathtaking scenery. It only takes opening any door or window at Salish Lodge to hear the hushing roar of the powerful falls. Some guests choose not to leave the lodge, dividing their time between the relaxing spa, excellent restaurants, and comfortable rooms. However, an award-awarding winning golf course, numerous outdoor activities, wine country, and downtown Seattle are all just a short trip from Salish Lodge.

Spa at Salish Lodge

The Spa at Salish Lodge is a silent Northwest-inspired Asian retreat combining ancient healing wisdom with the latest health and wellness techniques. A visit to Spa at Salish Lodge provides complete relaxation and renewal, including special care for couples.

Dining Room at Salish Lodge

Look no further, the best meal in Seattle is dinner in the Dining Room at Salish Lodge and Spa, and the country breakfast is not far behind. Executive Chef Roy Breiman has developed a can’t miss menu to go along with the beautiful sights and sounds of Snoqualmie Falls. Romantic window view tables add to the ambiance. The Salish Lodge Dining Room is well-worth the 30-minute drive just for breakfast or dinner, and a must for Lodge and Spa guests.

Two-Person Pipeless Spa Tub
The custom-designed couple-sized tubs are nothing short of amazing. The spa tubs are much bigger than those you normally find in hotels or bed-and-breakfasts. Two people can comfortably rest their backs, while sitting side-by-side. You can cuddle if you want without being squashed into each other. The spa tubs feature whisper quiet jets with adjustable water-flow intensity including several pre-programmed massage settings.

Salish Lodge and Spa became the first hotel in the world to install SANIJET Pipeless spa baths in all of its guestrooms and suites on July 12, 2006. Salish Lodge spent over $7,000 per guestroom on this enhancement.

Wireless Internet Access
Salish Lodge provides secure, high-speed wireless internet access in the resort’s guestrooms, meeting rooms, lobby, outdoor areas, and restaurants.

Salish Lodge and Spa offers complimentary wine and cheese tasting fireside in the library on select Fridays at 5pm.
