The Most Exciting Hotel Openings of Fall 2025 | Condé Nast Traveler

"Housed in the restored, long-abandoned Waucoma Hotel in downtown Hood River, this 69-room property brings a new level of hospitality to the Columbia River Gorge with cloud-soft bedding, local artwork, and outdoor-focused sensibility. The PNW Mediterranean restaurant injects international flair into the town’s culinary scene, the rooftop bar offers panoramic views and fire pits for swapping adventure stories, and a complimentary subterranean spa with sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge makes it easy to recover after a day on the Gorge — in short, Gorge-ous." - Todd Plummer
