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, and restaurants where great food, epic views, and grand plans flow.

EAT WELL

Lightwell covers your cravings. Fresh espresso to kick off the morning and crisp rosé to brighten your night. Grab a bite. Share a toast. Swap stories over something grilled, chilled, and locally harvested.

Wellness & Adventure

BE WELL

Start the day with a sauna session that melts the to-do list away. Slow down with a soak in our warm pool, and experience 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.

WELLNESS ADVENTURES

“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 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.”
