Port Angeles, while only 17 miles from Hurricane Ridge-the most popular attraction of Olympic National Park, is also a center for Northwest arts and culture.

Ideally situated for all the Olympic Peninsula has to offer, it is easy to see why Port Angeles says it is “The Center of It All.”

Port Angeles offers unique shopping, arts & culture, a wide variety of restaurants and many specialty shops for kayaking, hiking, camping, biking, fishing, scuba diving and skateboarding. In the winter months, skiing, snow shoeing and snow boarding sales and rentals are available.

This package, starting at $800* midweek, per couple, for a two-night stay in a Milliken Room.  The “heart” of this new package is a brand new spa treatment, a fragrantly hydrating 90-minute Chocolate Decadence Massage per person; and of course, a customized Valentine’s Day turndown treat of chocolate-covered strawberries, a bottle of chilled champagne, and a plethora of lit votive candles scattered throughout the room  is also part of the package offering. A lovely array of aromatherapy bath products and L’Occitane amenities complete an evening of total bliss. The package also includes a daily gourmet breakfast for two–think fluffy quiche and delicate scones with fresh fruit and freshly brewed coffee served in-room, or anywhere on property.
