The Bishop Hotel – Historic Charm Meets Boutique Comfort in Port Townsend, WA
Tucked in the heart of downtown Port Townsend, The Bishop Hotel is a beautifully preserved Victorian treasure that blends 19th-century character with modern boutique luxury. Originally built in 1890 as the Bishop Block, this storied building has served many purposes, from a tobacco warehouse to wartime housing, before its thoughtful transformation into one of the Olympic Peninsula’s most beloved hotels.
With just 16 unique suites, each featuring cozy fireplaces, Turkish towels, and L’Occitane bath products, The Bishop offers an intimate and inviting stay. It’s also dog-friendly, so your furry friends can enjoy the charm too.
🌿 The lush gardens are a standout, ideal for sipping your morning coffee or an evening glass from the Bishop Block Bottle Shop, an on-site organic wine and cider bar that’s become a local favorite since opening in 2021.
Just a block from the waterfront and surrounded by local shops, galleries, and outdoor adventures, this is the kind of place that makes it easy to slow down and savor the best of Port Townsend.
