Since 1904, the Lightwell building has stood on the waterfront side of historic Hood River. But don’t let our age fool you: every inch has been reimagined to create space to stretch out, slow down, and sleep well. In the heart of downtown, Lightwell is your soft landing after days well spent. It’s where windsurfers swap stories over wine, first-timers and old-timers share rooftop sunsets over small plates, and our front desk hands you a key with a knowing smile. A historic stay, redesigned for the way you travel now.

The room where your wetsuit gets the hook and you get the robe. Where you pour a nightcap, spread out your gear, and relive the part when the wind got everything right. Cozy corner queens for solo recharging, Gorge-view suites for sleeping in, with room to gather. Cloud-soft bedding, steam-filled showers, and boutique Hood River hotel rooms that feel just right.

At Lightwell, packages are part of the experience. Rooftop tastings at golden hour. Massages after muddy hikes. Curated baskets of Hood River snacks and sips waiting in your room. When you’re ready to explore, we’ll line up unforgettable experiences with our trusted local partners: from guided paddles to private foraging walks. Our seasonal Hood River hotel packages bring more spark and Gorge magic to your stay.

Retreats, reunions, strategy sessions, we love a reason to gather. At Lightwell, you’ll find flexible spaces for meetups and meals, cozy rooms to crash in, and the Gorge right outside when it’s time to stretch your legs. Host a casual rooftop hang with local brews or plan something bigger. However your group comes together, our Hood River group getaways are easy to plan and hard to top.
