The Hotel Bellwether is Bellingham s newest gem. It is a European-style luxury hotel strategically located right on the water with breathtaking views of Mt. Baker, the Chuckanut Mountains, and the San Juan Islands. This may not be the place for the faint of heart financially, but for special occasions or a business conference or a getaway weekend, there is now no better place in Bellingham.
Visitors can choose between rooms with a water or mountain view.
The marble bathrooms are the ultimate in luxury, with an enclosed shower and the large thermo-masseur bathtub. The shutter-like doors next to the tub open into the bedroom, so you can enjoy a good soak while watching TV or chatting with your loved one. The bar has an excellent wine selection and several Northwest-style beers on tap. After a relaxing glass of wine or cocktail, head to the Harborside Bistro Restaurant for dinner. The Compass Room, where a European-style continental breakfast is served, is reminiscent of a British gentleman s club with dark leather sofas, fireplace, and stately, yet cozy decor.
