Leavenworth hotels

Minutes away from the iconic Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum, Hotel Pension Anna is a storybook boutique hotel with 17 uniquely decorated rooms. There are five room types: Suites, Balconies, Hand-Painted Furniture Rooms, Exterior Private Entrances, and Lower-Level Rooms. Each has been carefully appointed with furniture and decor straight from Bavaria and Tirol.

The Alpine-inspired hotel was built in 1989 and remains one of the most authentic old world Bavarian buildings in town. Top tip: make sure you book early, since rooms are limited.

A delicious Alpine breakfast is included with your stay, and features homemade coffee cake, muesli, and German bread. There's also free parking, Wi-Fi, and snowshoe/sled hire.

If you want to stay in the heart of downtown consider booking Hotel Leavenworth. This Bavarian-inspired property has received numerous awards as one of the best hotels in Leavenworth for romantic getaways, pet-friendly retreats, and family-friendly adventures.

Located on Front Street – the main street in downtown Leavenworth – it’s home to two restaurants and 16 rooms that effortlessly fuse modern-day touches and amenities with old school rustic charm.

I recommend carving out some time to spend on the property's sun deck, which offers striking views of the Wenatchee River and the Cascade Mountains year round. Free parking is a major perk: you can leave your car as needed and get to most places on foot. Your stay also comes with free Wi-Fi and 24-hour front desk service.

You know a stay on 'Enchantment Park Way' is ripe for a one-of-a-kind experience. Set against a stunning backdrop of the towering, pine-dotted Cascade Mountains, Worldmark Leavenworth is a resort-style hotel with spacious, two-bedroom condo-like suites that accommodate up to six guests. One room has a queen bed, the second room has two twins, and the common area has a fold-out Murphy bed.

There’s also a full kitchen and guests have access to a fitness centre and outdoor pool. With its picturesque setting against the mountains and its roomy quarters, this is an especially great option for those travelling in groups or with their family.

If you’re looking for an affordable, solid stay at one of the best hotels in Leavenworth, don’t write off the Hampton Inn & Suites. Though it's technically a chain rather than a boutique property, the clean and contemporary hotel does a great job of weaving in that Leavenworth charm through decorative touches and activities, including snow sports, hiking, and fishing.

You’ll have your pick of standard-size guest rooms and larger suites, and every stay includes access to a fitness centre, indoor pool (especially nice in the chilly months, when you wouldn't be able to take a dip outside), free hot breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and free parking. Those travelling for business will appreciate the free business centre and meeting rooms.

It truly feels as if you’ve been whisked away to old-world Europe with a stay at Haus Hanika. This petite, adult-only getaway is among my favourite hotels in Leavenworth thanks to its VIP views of the winding river and mountains. The boutique property is home to just three uniquely appointed guest rooms that are located directly along the river – so book early!

The Alpine Suite includes a two-person hot tub and gas fireplace; the Black Bear Suite also has a gas fireplace; and The Chalet has a private balcony with a two-person whirlpool tub.

They're all decked out with outdoors-y decor and Bavarian-inspired touches, and are equipped with a kitchenette, private bathroom, and thoughtful amenities like comfy robes. Your stay also includes a hot gourmet Bavarian breakfast.

For a comfortable, home-away-from-home hotel in Leavenworth, check out the Der Sportsmann Suites. I love this property because each accommodation is set up like a self-contained flat, complete with a stocked kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, and living room with a TV, comfy furniture, and a tiny fireplace.

It’s one of the best hotels in Leavenworth for larger groups (friends or family) that want to stay together instead of booking multiple rooms within one hotel. It’s also a good option for anyone who wants to cook their own meals.

The property is conveniently located within the downtown area and offers picturesque balcony views of the bustling town. It’s also a great base for those who want to explore the wonders of nearby outdoor attractions, including Leavenworth Ski Hill, Stevens Pass Mountain Resort, and Lake Chelan.

Nestle yourself right in the middle of the action at Linderhof Inn, a medium-sized traditional inn with 33 guest rooms and suites. You can choose between Single or Double Queen stays and Single King stays (ideal for solo or couple travellers), or larger townhouses that sleep up to six people (perfect for families and groups).

The property does a great job of blending modern and rustic touches, and each room includes a TV, coffee maker, fridge, and microwave. Guests also have access to free breakfast, a pool and hot tub, Wi-Fi, and parking.

One of my favourite things about this hotel is that it gives guests access to 18-hole putting at the Enzian Falls Putting Course in the warm months. Meanwhile, in the winter, it provides all guests with cross-country skis, boots, and poles to enjoy the snow.

If you’re looking for a super quaint hotel in Leavenworth, set your sights on Loge Leavenworth Riverside, which puts a modern-day twist on campground stays. If you're not familiar with Loge, the hospitality brand's speciality is rescuing forgotten hotels and transforming them into picturesque base camps for adventure-spirited people.

Loge Leavenworth Riverside offers the option of a private cabin – which includes your own bathroom and living space – or a hostel room that provides guests with a bunk bed, shared bathroom, and shared living space.

The idyllic property is also equipped with grills, TVs, A/C, and fridges/microwaves, and it's all within walking distance of restaurants, cafés, and breweries. I’d consider this one of the best hotels in Leavenworth for people who want an affordable stay or who enjoy socialising and meeting new people when travelling.

This Bavarian-inspired, family-friendly resort is within walking distance of downtown Leavenworth and offers an idyllic setting with incredible views of the Cascade Mountains.

It’s a true resort-style hotel, complete with an Alpine Spa (which offers earth-inspired treatments), a mini golf course, and an on-site restaurant that combines flavours of the United States’ Pacific Northwest and Bavaria.

Along with these extras, guests get free Wi-Fi, free breakfast, and can take a dip in the year-round heated pool or hot tub. Choose from standard guest rooms or opt for a condo that provides a bit more space for larger groups. Furry friends are welcome too.

Few things beat the cosy charm of a bona fide lodge. That’s exactly what you’ll get at the Bavarian Lodge, one of the most unique hotels in Leavenworth that marries old-school German charm with the homey comforts of a rustic lodge. It’s a fun stay no matter the time of year but feels especially welcoming come winter when the crackling fireplace is ablaze inside.

This 4-star hotel is located right in the centre of downtown Leavenworth, putting you in the heart of the action – and within easy reach of good food, drinks, and entertainment.

Choose from six different room and suite types – including some with their own fireplaces and/or balconies – decorated with modern-rustic decor. The Woodsman Pub is also on site, for those who want to grab a drink without leaving the premises.
