Owner-run Victorian hotel in Port Townsend's historic district

Accommodations

The Palace Hotel offers 26 uniquely designed accommodations, each furnished with antique pieces and named after historical figures like Miss Alice and Miss Colleen. Several rooms include functional kitchenette facilities, and select lofts provide views of the waterfront from the third floor. Room 7B features a walk-in shower, while the Marie Suite occupies the space where the building's former madam once lived.

On-Site Amenities

Guests have access to an indoor play area and a games room stocked with chessboards and board games. The shared lounge and TV area provides additional space for relaxation, and a designated smoking area is available on the property. Bicycle parking is offered for guests who wish to explore the town on two wheels.

Pet-Friendly Services

Dogs are welcome in dedicated pet-friendly rooms, with a nightly fee of $40. The hotel provides pet baskets and pet bowls for registered canine guests. Owners can take advantage of the express check-in and checkout process to minimize waiting time with their pets.

Location & Surroundings

The hotel is situated on the main street of downtown Port Townsend, within walking distance of the Rose Theatre, Silverwater Café, and a wine shop located in the same building. Kah Tai Lagoon Nature Park and Fort Worden State Park are a short drive or walk from the front door. On-site parking is available for guests, and street parking is also accessible after 4:00 p.m.

Historic Character & Ghost Stories

The building was constructed in 1889 and operated as a hotel and brothel from 1925 to 1933, a history that draws ghost hunters and history enthusiasts alike. Multiple guest reviews report unexplained events, including whistling in hallways and objects being moved overnight. The hotel's original painted ceiling and stained-glass window remain intact in the reading room.
