The Lightwell Legacy

A HOTEL WITH HISTORY

Originally built in 1904 as the Waucoma Hotel, the Lightwell is restored, refreshed, and ready for what’s next. Our historic Hood River hotel has been completely reimagined as a place to stay, gather, and write your own story in the heart of Hood River.

ABOUT LIGHTWELL

“The new boutique hotel in the Columbia River Gorge’s cultural capital sits smack-dab in Hood River’s downtown. But the real draw lies under the hotel, in Lightwell’s subterranean spa.”

– Portland Monthly

“The Columbia Gorge wine region is unique in that it spans two states. If you prefer to stay Oregon-side, Lightwell Hotel & Spa features a long list of post-wine-tasting wellness amenities and a rooftop bar with picture-perfect views of Hood River.”

– ISLANDS

“The namesake four-story lightwell is adorned with dozens of locally made glass orbs and jellyfish that cascade down the walls. The hotel’s adventure lounge, operated by First Nature, helps guests book guided tours. Rooms are a space to relax comfortably after a long day on the trails or water. The showstopper, however, is the underground spa.”
