With its Southwest-inspired architecture, The Inn at Desert Wind Winery needs to be at the top of your romance list. The property features a tasting room that serves its award-winning wines and a boutique luxury inn with sweeping desert views.
Located in Prosser, Washington, in the heart of Washington wine country, its luxurious accommodations have been featured in the Seattle Times, The Oregonian, and Travel + Leisure.

Rooms include modern amenities such as complimentary WiFi, a minibar, and a flatscreen TV with satellite. A sweet perk is that overnight guests receive a bottle of Desert Wind wine and breakfast is delivered to their room each morning.
After touring the inn, my first thought was this is the perfect place for a romantic weekend. I fell in love with the style of the rooms and the views, plus being steps away from the tasting room makes it easier to spend the whole weekend together.
Travel tip: The tasting room is open daily from 11 am to 5 pm. The tasting fee is $10 and waived when you purchase two bottles of wine. The tasting room also includes a large patio with Yakima Valley views.

Walla Walla, Washington is known for its wine country and set within 300 acres of rolling wheat fields and vineyards is Eritage Resort. This new luxury resort offers a private setting with luxury suites and villas (coming this spring), a manmade lake, an outdoor pool, and a restaurant.
Room amenities you’ll love include large soaking tubs, gas fireplaces, and a private deck or patio to take in the view. Plus, each morning, guests receive a continental breakfast with house-baked goods. In-room massage services may also be arranged.
During my tour, I saw all the rooms styles.
The restaurant has a creative and inventive menu with lots of locally sourced items. Almost all of their tables have a view, and if you choose to sit in the bar-style seating in front of the kitchen, you can watch the chefs as they cook.
Travel tip: Ertiage Resort is a 12-minute drive from downtown Walla Walla.
What do I recommend at Eritage Restaurant & Bar? Fresh Dungeness crab toast and prime beef and lamb meatballs.
Nearby
There are over 140 wineries in Walla Walla wine country. A great place to start is downtown, as you can easily walk from winery to winery and dine along the way. Other wineries are a short drive away. I recommend Pepper Bridge Winery, Va Piano, Watermill, and Castillo De Feliciana.
Travel tip: Touring wine country is way more fun when you don’t have to drive. Main Street Drivers is an economical and safe way to winery hop. They drive your car, which saves you money, and drivers have a ton of local knowledge to make the most of your day.

I stayed in a very comfortable and spacious double queen room, but couples will be interested in the king corner room and the two-room studio suite.

Spokane, Washington
The Historic Davenport Hotel is in the heart of downtown Spokane, Washington. A regional landmark on the National Register of Historic Places it is both opulent and luxurious with a long list of famous guests such as Tony Bennett, Salma Hayek, Antonio Banderas, and Jessica Biel.
One of my favorite parts of the hotel is the Spanish Renaissance lobby. I could have sat in one of their oversized chairs looking at all the details for hours and hours. There are also boutique shops, a bar, restaurant, and an espresso bar. The lower level has the pool and an award-winning spa (highly recommend).
During your stay be sure to wander around the second floor. Here you can see the details and craftsmanship up close, and there is a collection of memorabilia from the hotel and local figures like Bing Crosby. Up the stairs from the second floor is The Hall of Doges. It will make you feel like you’ve entered into an Arabian palace! No joke! And, if any of the

They have seven room styles with neutral-toned and elegant decor, beds with custom linens, fireplaces, and some have French doors that open to a patio or balcony.
Features to love include complimentary WiFi, a European breakfast buffet with eggs, German sausage and potatoes, baked bread, cheeses, and fruits, as well as a light lunch of salads and soup. If you desire some exercise that is not under the sheets, they have snowshoe and bicycle rentals.

Okay this is quite an impressive list of hotels. I love finding beautiful, romantic places for a great Valentine’s stay! First choice, right off the bat would be Posthotel in Leavenworth. That place is gorgeous and looks like it came straight out of Europe somewhere! My second choice I think would be the Historic Davenport in Spokane. I love the architecture and decor and that it’s close to Spokane Falls!
Heather, Great choices, and they are towns with completely different vibes and history, which always makes exploring fun. 🙂
Really great tips, thank you! Such a romantic getaway is always something special and I’m always grateful for great ideas.
Susanne
Susanne, Happy to give you some ideas!
This does look pretty tempting for Valentine’s day. I especially like the Willows Lodge. 🙂 And the Posthotel room, though the exterior of the hotel isn’t very appealing for a romantic holiday, but more for a corporate team building.
The Travel Bunny, Your comment about the outside of Posthotel reminding you of corporate team building is interesting, as I would have never associated Bavarian style with that. The entire town has Bavarian architecture or embellishments, even the McDonald’s. LOL
All of these hotels look amazing, I would love to stay at any of these when I finally head to Wine Country. Which one was your favourite? I think mine from images along is the historical Davenport Hotel!
Amber, the Davenport is such an impressive hotel, and are spot on with service. Each of these hotels has a different vibe and I’d pick a favorite based on my mood. I really liked The Lodge at Columbia Point as I loved the setting next to the river.
Just in time for Valentine´s Day! I´d definitely go with the Lodge at Colombia Point. Everything from the exterior to the pool and the firepits makes it the perfect romantic destination. Great choices!
Erica, The lodge is very romantic. I was there on a solo trip and wished the hubs was there with me.
“If romancing your sweetie is a top priority????” Man, if romancing your sweetie is NOT a top priority anytime of the year, romance is not going to be happening for long. That said, The Lodge at Columbia Point sounds absolutely divine.
Michael, Ha! Spoken like a man who knows how to romance his sweetie! Keep it up!
The Lodge at Columbia Point looks incredible. If I had a sweetie, I’d opt for that one, but it looks like there are plenty to choose from. I love finding places that are not as well known. I like the way you put your tips in a separate box.
Drew, The Lodge is so great for couples. I went there along and had so many moments when I wished my sweetie was there with me. Thanks for the comment about the tips. I’m trying some new blog style layouts now that I’ve switched to Gutenberg.
A great selection, which I’m sure would be perfect for a romantic getaway, especially for Valentines Day!
Laura, All of these would be great for Valentine’s Day! Hopefully your plans take you somewhere romantic. 🙂
This is such a diverse list of getaways and they all look so beautiful. The architectural style at Desert Wind definitely does make it look like it’s in New Mexico or Arizona, and the lobby of the Historic Davenport is simply stunning! Being from Seattle, I only left the Puget Sound area a couple of times of year when I lived there, but I really do wish I had explored some of these other areas before moving away! Thanks for sharing, Lara 🙂
Kevin, Sometimes it is hard to get out and explore right out our backdoor. Hopefully, you get to come back and check out some of these hotels.
What great options for Valentines Day! Such an amazing group of hotels. I just love the fireplace at the Desert Wind Winery. It looks so inviting. The Governor’s Suite at the Historic Davenport Hotel is amazing. I’ve never see a heart shaped tub before!
Joanne, Isn’t that tub cool! And, I so love the style of Desert Wind. I was born in New Mexico and have a love of that style.
The Posthotel looks like an amazing place to get your goomba on. It seems like they have lots of great wines in the area that pair well with Bavarian food. Probably the most romantic weekend you can have with your lederhosen on.
Jenn and Ed, Not sure what a goomba is, tell me. Leavenworth is such a great small town and the Posthotel is a wonderful addition, and I love that it is in the heart of it all.
Each of these accommodations looks special and I would have a tough time making a choice. Though I’m not a wine drinker, I am always attracted by wine country as it is so scenic and romantic.
Punita, I totally agree, each hotel has that extra something special.
This is a very useful list for our visit to Washington after Vancouver on our 11th anniversary August this year. The Willow’s Lodge in Woodinville would be perfect for us!
Carol, You are going to love The Willows Lodge, and The Herbfarm next door is perfect for an anniversary dinner!
So many great choices for a romantic getaway here. I love the idea of sitting by the firepit and a glass of wine at The Lodge at Columbia Point, and, as a foodie, the Eritage Resort looks right up my ally. My favorite rooms would be a toss-up between the Posthotel and The Willow Lodge. Honestly, they all look really incredible in their own way. I’d be happy with my honey at any one of them! ;D
Jackie, Thanks so much for commenting. Great choices, and I agree, it’s hard to go wrong with this list.
OMG! I would like to visit any of those hotels, but Posthotel has my name all over it! Wow, great selections. I had never seen the waterfalls in Leavenworth. I need a good WA visit.
Melody, You’d love Leavenworth! And, yes, you need to spend some time in WA! I’ll happily tag along. 🙂
The romantic setting of the Willows Lodge resonates with me the most. And, yes I am a wine lover. Thus, a glass or two of good wine from Chateau Ste. Michelle or the Herbfarm would definitely be included in my weekend gateway.
Milijana, The Willows Lodge is beautiful and neighboring Chateau Ste. Michelle has such great wines!
Luxury hotels, romantic getaway and wine go hand in hand, and this post proves just that.Each hotel looks better than the other, and it’ll be a tough decision to choose among them. Specially love the outdoors of Willows lodge and Poshtel.
Arnav, Thanks so much for commenting. Each hotel has something special, doesn’t it?
I’d opt for the Hotel Davenport in Spokane. I love how opulent is looks — and also that it’s historic. Plus my father lives in Spokane, and I’m due to make a visit. Actually all of these hotels look amazing. I could really use a romantic getaway about now!
Tami, Nice! Let me know what you think!
I haven’t made it out to Washington yet. But it looks very romantic so I think I need to get out there ; )
Marcea, Yes, travel this way! It’s an amazing state!
