Overview of Paradise Inn

Located 19 miles within Mount Rainier National Park's southwest Nisqually Entrance, Paradise Inn beckons with a rich history and breathtaking views. Initially built in 1916, this grand lodge has earned its place as a National Historic Landmark, recently undergoing a stunning $25 million renovation.

Paradise Inn offers a unique escape. Immerse yourself in the grandeur of Mount Rainier, ever-present through expansive windows and commanding the backdrop of the inviting Great Room. Here, log furniture, a massive stone fireplace, and exposed beams create a sense of rustic charm. The emphasis is on reconnecting with nature—guestrooms are free from televisions, the internet, and telephones, encouraging mindfulness and appreciation for the surrounding beauty.

Choose from 121 guestrooms, each thoughtfully designed for relaxation. Paradise Inn caters to your needs, whether you prefer the privacy of an en-suite bathroom (available in 91 rooms) or the social atmosphere of shared facilities (30 rooms). Rooms accommodate one to four guests, ensuring a comfortable space for solo travelers, couples, or families. Spread across the Main Lodge (two floors) and the Annex Building (four floors), some rooms require navigating stairs – except for those on the third floor of the Annex, now connected to the main lodge by a sky bridge.

Indulge in regional flavors at the Paradise Inn dining room, where panoramic windows showcase the majestic scenery as you savor traditional Northwest cuisine for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. For a casual alternative, the Tatoosh Cafe offers a coffee shop ambiance and lighter fare. Browse unique souvenirs at the on-site gift shop or mail a postcard from the convenient post office.

Situated at an elevation of 5,420 feet, Paradise Inn puts you at the heart of the action. Step outside, and you'll find yourself within walking distance of the visitor center and a network of hiking trails, ready to explore the glaciers, meadows, wildflowers, waterfalls, and diverse wildlife that make Mount Rainier National Park a haven for all who seek a connection with nature's grandeur.

Paradise Inn isn't just a place to stay; it's an experience. Book your stay and discover why it's become a cherished tradition for generations, a true "Great Lodge of the West."
