Best Luxury Hotels in Washington State
Named after the capital, Washington D.C., this Pacific Northwestern state is the political and cultural hub of the US. But venture beyond its iconic city and you’ll discover the state’s rugged coastline and towering peaks, such as those in the Cascade Range. Its Olympic Peninsula is home to beaches and rainforests, while the towns of Leavenworth and Winthrop exhibit a Bavarian culture, and the state’s many breweries and wineries (found across the region) provide tasting opportunities. Seattle is Washington State’s second city, with its landmark Space Needle, indie music scene, historic Pike Place Market and the Puget Sound.
