Bowline Hotel

I took a 2-day trip here to get away by myself for a couple of days and this could not have been a nicer spot for that. Everything in this gorgeous boutique hotel is designed for maximum relaxation and comfort, from the river views and watching sea lions swim by while sipping morning coffee, to the super-comfortable bed and Frette linens, to the delicious Scandinavian food and yummy cocktails in the hotel restaurant The Knot, to the unusual barrel saunas that guests can relax in. The staff are all incredibly nice, and were happy to upgrade my room when I asked for a river view (yes, I paid for it), and gave great recs on places to eat nearby too. I loved how so much that i wanted to see and experience was either within walking distance or a short drive away. I can't wait for my next stay!

Only negative was noise from the bar at night including speaker playing music on second floor. Staff was awesome and super responsive/communicative. Food/drinks were amazing. Very walkable location to downtown attractions.

Loved being right on the water and watching a winter storm from the warmth and comfort of our room.

Very chic and stylish rooms. The hotel has an awesome vibe. Emily, Jim, and Katey were fantastic hosts upon check in.

The hotel is a beautiful industrial design. We stayed in the buoy suite which had a dual shower in the bathroom and a soaking tub about 4 fert from the bed. The views of the Columbia river were absolutely gorgeous. The food and drinks were wonderful as well. It was a little bit pricey but youngetbwhat you pay for. My wife and I will definitely be staying here again!

Absolutely love this place. The entire staff was outgoing and amazing. Loved the bar. Stayed in room 40.

Really great staff. We loved the design of the room and the aesthetic of the whole place. We really enjoyed staying here.

The Bowline had a nice location. I enjoyed the double shower and big tub. However when we got into our room there were crumbs on the couch and the little fan was extremely dusty. They say you have blackout curtains but they are not. Highly recommend bringing a mask to keep the street lights out of your eye's as you sleep. And I hope you can sleep with the sound of the boulders being rolled under your room. Seems they have loose pilings that bang all night with the waves. They also shake the building. I got no sleep. I also recommend they improve the lighting in the room. The bulbs on the sides of the couch and bed are extremely bright and they need lighting in the little coffee bar. Also I hope they will check the honey sticks they have on the coffee bar. Mine had turned to sugar. Glad I brought my own. They also need recycling bins in the rooms. Surprised they didn’t have them. All hotels I’ve stayed in do.

The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Very personal approach to customer care.
