The Essential Guide to Astoria, Oregon

"Dockside above the Columbia River, this former fish processing plant is now a chic, nautical-themed boutique hotel on the Astoria waterfront, where you can watch ships cruise by from spic-and-span room balconies or break a sweat in pierside cedar barrel saunas. The on-site Knot Bar is an elevated watering hole for cocktails made with locally produced spirits, served alongside Scandinavian light bites." - Zoe Baillargeon Zoe Baillargeon Zoe Baillargeon is a freelance writer and creative copywriter who specializes in travel, tourism, and food journalism.
