Built in 1916 and designated as one of the "Great Lodges of the West" this historic guest lodge sits in the shadow of Mount Rainier surrounded by mountain meadows lush with wildflowers. Miles of hiking trails just outside the front door lead to adventures in all directions and offer panoramic views of glaciers and waterfalls.

We enjoyed our stay here for just one night! We arrived early, did our Skyline loop hike and then sat in our car for an hour awaiting our check in time …. We were just too tired and sore from our hike!!! Plus we were afraid to lose our parking spot!! Our room was clean, small, no coffee maker or microwave… but we knew that in advance. We did have a view of Mt. Rainier!! So we had dinner in the restaurant which we enjoyed! Bought coffee and scones in the cafe before we moved on. We were happy to stay here (we were originally booked out side park and we’re able to book here a week before arriving)! So glad we were able to stay in the park!

Fantastic location. 1-star amenities at 4-star pricing. No basic amenities provided such as as a hair dryer, or even outlets for one in the bathroom. No shelves at all for a cosmetic bag NOR a toilet seat cover. Please be warned- do not use the toilet tank due to lack of shelving unless you want to retrieve your items out of toilet. 🤨 Small rooms, less than 100sf. We were checked into a “double” room - NOTE : w/ a severely damaged drywall right above the bed!!! A huge safety hazard. The engineer seemed shocked when he saw it. Moved to a small room w/ 2 twin beds. Certainly gave us a nostalgic feel. What is surprising is that there was no “comp” for anything - not w/ a dining voucher nor a bfst credit or even a cup of coffee (overpriced at $36/ buffet at mediocre quality). I understand that everything is very costly there, but $3.75 for a Danone yoghurt? The location is unbeatable. Loved the overall rustic vibe. Just do not expect any services or amenities based on your $350 nightly charge…

No elevator, no AC, room/bathroom so small you can barely move, no hairdryer, towels you can see through, room/drapes look like they hadn’t been cleaned in Years, no room for luggage or anything else, beds not even made, rude front desk staff, cold breakfast, I could go on… The only way this place stays in biz & overcharges is because of its proximity to Mt Rainier ( which is amazing!). Do better!!!

It''s all about the location.....one stays in the park to avoid the excessive driving in and out every day. And when you get a parking spot.....you don't drive again until the day you leave! The lodge is old and lovely, the rooms very tiny but very, very clean, and the food is outrageously expensive. We learned that you can bring in your own food and dine at the many tables and chairs offered in the lodge - a smart decision. But one comes here to enjoy the beauty of the park, and we definitely did that. Despite the price and tiny rooms, I would recommend a stay here for the convenience.

We booked for two nights at the lodge at paradise. After one night we checked out. What an overpriced scam. The room was no more that a closet with a puny bathroom. No view. Cramped with one small bed. $300 per nights. No reserved parking. Had to park half mile down the mountain. Front desk help gave no answer or help. Lodge was packed with snotty jerks unwilling to control their brats. Dining at lodge is a very expensive joke. Cheapest item was a cheeseburger at $28. Other menu items at $40 or more. No sides, just the entree. On top of that the food was crap. Breakfast for two came to $87. And the food was stone cold. The entire operation is an overpriced scam. Lousy room, lousy service, lousy dining. Never again!

The location can't be beat, as it gets you easily onto the trail. And the history of the building is fun. Staff at the front desk are great. Service in the restaurant is okay - there is a lot of younger staff there for the summer. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Food in the restaurant was good... and high prices for the quality. But they do have to haul everything in, so there's that. The menu is seasonal, but it doesn't change from day to day, so when you're staying multiple days, it limits options. We preferred our breakfast sandwiches from the cafe to the breakfast buffet (and it was 1/3 of the price). Appreciate the water bottle refill station and that the cafe has such a great selection of items. Wish there was the ability to compost instead of sending good waste, etc, to the landfill. …

Fabulous! We booked two rooms with a connecting bathroom for our family. Rooms are pretty small and basic, but clean. No AC (needed) but the windows open. We had a great view of the mountain from our bedroom windows. It was a bit of a walk from the checking desk to our rooms in the annex. I got breakfast from the cafe in the lobby and enjoyed it on the patio. It was pricy, but good. If you can, walk down to the parking lot at sunset and sunrise to catch the light change on the mountain. The main restaurant was closed when we were there. Definitely a great place to stay to enjoy the Paradise area and we didn’t need to worry about parking, lines to enter, etc.

Price and service are not alligned. There are not enough staff , it was a dirty and overpriced hotel/ place.. The showers were not working. There was a 50 minuts waitingtime to get a table for dinner, in a empty restaurant…..the waitress could not give a reason…You have to do it better. The Rainer trails were beautyful and it was nice Walk.

Paradise Inn is amazing! The main building is stunning and the view of Mount Rainier out of the front of the hotel is breathtaking. I would definitely recommend the long hike from the hotel up towards Mount Rainier. It is absolutely gorgeous and really unlike any other hikes I know of. We hiked through quite a bit of snow on the second half of the loop and it was the middle of July. The only two critiques I have which I didn't think were bad at all but something people should know about. One is that the actual hotel rooms are very small and old (what else would you expect from a 100 year old hotel). We didn't spend much time in the room but it is just something people should know. And two is that Paradise Inn is the end of the road up the mountain which while is makes for amazing views, it probably makes more sense to stay their a night or two as opposed to making it a home base to be for a week while you are adventuring all over the park and area because you would be in the car a lot and winding back up to the very top where the hotel is.…

The Paradise Inn exudes the charm of days past and honors its legacy as a great historic lodge. The main draw of this hotel is hands down the location. You are situated right in the Paradise Valley with access to miles of trails and views right outside your door. This level of convenience however does not come cheap and budget friendly travelers should be mindful of that before booking here. Beyond the high room prices, the food here is also exorbitantly priced. I was pleasantly surprised by the food quality in the restaurant after reading some other reviews but with entrees priced above $45, it adds up quick. Grab and go food in the cafe is decent but prices for the same items are lower at the Visitors Center (across the parking lot) and even lower if you make it out to the Sunrise Visitor’s Center. I was booked into a Standard Single which is, I believe, the only room type with a private bathroom in the main building. The size was perfect for one person with a twin sized bed, dresser, and chair as well as a functional but economically sized bathroom. The rooms definitely get warm during the summer months even with the provided fan and open windows. The bed itself was pretty uncomfortable which was unwelcome after long days of hiking. Also the bathroom light is on a motion timer which would turn off multiple times during a shower. Parking at the hotel can be a nightmare with day visitors often parking in the hotel guest area. Thankfully, with the huge range of available activities within walking distance, you shouldn’t need to drive too often. If your stay allows for extra time, definitely drive through the rest of the park and check out the Sunrise and White River areas. Check beforehand for road closures as Steven’s Canyon Road was under construction during the week and this cut off access to the rest of the park on those days. If location and quick access are important to you, definitely consider a stay at the Paradise Inn, just be prepared to pay through the nose for food.…
