What to expect: Emphasizing personal service, the hotel staff welcomes guests in the contemporary, European-inspired lobby. From the lobby, guests descend down the curving staircase, with its sweeping views of Lake Washington and the distant Olympic Mountains, to the warm ambience of the Library Bar. Deep wood furnishings and lavish fabrics set the tone for elegance and relaxation. Guests enjoy deluxe services such as a full-service spa and close proximity to area businesses and attractions.

Amenity highlights: The Spa at the Woodmark, a full-service spa, offers a range of rejuvenating treatments and services, including those from licensed aestheticians, massage practitioners, and nail technicians. Guests may choose from an elaborate package or à la carte services.

Insider tip: Appointment times at the spa can fill up quickly. To ensure a preferred time, guests should book treatments two weeks in advance.
