Paradise Inn

The Essential Guide to Mount Rainier National Park

"Sleeping on the slopes of Mount Rainier at this historic lodge puts you steps from Paradise Meadows; first opened in 1917, it runs seasonally from May to September and offers 121 rooms, plus a restaurant, gift shop, and a cafe for day trippers. Inside the park, the dining room serves Northwest-inspired fare and drinks, and while there’s no Wi‑Fi here, who needs it when you’re staying at Rainier’s doorstep?" - Zoe Baillargeon Zoe Baillargeon Zoe Baillargeon is a freelance writer and creative copywriter who specializes in travel, tourism, and food journalism.
