Set in the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range, the orchard-filled Wenatchee, Washington, is known as the Apple Capital of the World – visit in spring to catch the Washington State Apple Blossom Festival. The city is also a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts who flock to the Wenatchee Valley for adrenaline-fuelled activities like water-skiing, rafting, kayaking, hiking and mountain biking. In the historic downtown area, meanwhile, you’ll find eye-catching public art, museums and the sprawling Pybus farmers’ market. Whatever brings you to this central Washington city, these hotels in Wenatchee offer the perfect home base for your visit. Book today with Culture Trip.

Pets are welcome at the Coast Wenatchee Center Hotel, so your four-legged friend can enjoy the nearby Riverfront Park alongside you – but best leave them in the room while you enjoy the hotel’s hot tub and indoor-outdoor pool. Come evening, play games by the fire and tickle the ivories on the grand piano in the lobby. When hunger strikes, head up to the cozy ninth-floor Rivertop Bar and Grill, which has nightly wine specials and a fire pit beside large windows with views of the Cascade Mountains.

2. Hilton Garden Inn Wenatchee, for river views

It’s also under a 10-minute walk from the historic downtown area, where you’ll find quaint shops, restaurants, breweries and wine tasting rooms. Start your day with a cooked-to-order breakfast at the onsite Garden Grille and Bar, and enjoy cocktails, dining and a dip in the indoor pool back at the ranch in the evening. If you don’t like exercising with crowds, sneak in a midnight workout at the 24/7 fitness center.
