The park covers over 138,000 acres (55,850ha) of woodlands, prairies and coastline. Enjoy feeling tiny in the mystical presence of these giant trees. Here, we have selected the best hotels within a short drive (or walk) of redwood country, bookable on Culture Trip.

1. Carter House Inns

Spa Hotel

From the deep spa tubs to the glass of wine waiting for you after a long day exploring, this hotel offers comfort in spades. The lemon yellow Victorian House sits close to Humboldt Bay in Old Town Eureka. Choose from quaint queen rooms with shuttered windows and open fireplaces; a dog-friendly cottage decorated with local art; and grand suites. California’s giant redwood forests are under an hour’s drive north along the coast.

2. The Historic Requa Inn

Inn

Location is everything here; this historic inn is positioned on an estuary where the Klamath River meets the ocean.
