Lightwell Hotel & Spa has officially opened its doors, introducing a new era of hospitality to downtown Hood River. Set within the restored 1904 Waucoma Hotel, the property marks downtown Hood River’s first full-service hotel in over a century, and features a sunlit atrium, rooftop bar, Pacific Northwest-Mediterranean restaurant, and subterranean spa, all thoughtfully designed to reflect the Columbia River Gorge’s natural beauty and community spirit. With 69 guest rooms and suites, the boutique property seamlessly blends historic craftsmanship with contemporary design and sustainability. Lightwell stands as both a vibrant community hub and a refined basecamp for exploring one of the Pacific Northwest’s most scenic destinations.
