The secluded lakeside retreat balances peaceful historic halls with an in-house fine art gallery and forested trails.
What it’s good at

A landmark 1931 Catholic seminary restored on three hundred forested park acres.

Architectural blueprint murals and custom woodwork reflect the building's original monastic past.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The Lodge at St. Edward State Park is equally unusual: a one-time seminary designed by an eminent local architect, now renovated and transformed into a historically aware and uniquely atmospheric luxury boutique hotel.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Dense woodland trails wind through Saint Edward State Park, leading directly to the shores of Lake Washington.
The rooms
Guestrooms combine pairs of original student dormitories, opening onto views of the surrounding park greenery.
The spa
Vita Nova Spa provides herbal bodywork across five treatment rooms, and loaner mountain bikes are available for park trails.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Cedar + Elm serves Pacific Northwest dishes in the former dining hall, and The Tonsorium mixes cocktails in the original barbershop.
How it began
The 1931 Romanesque Revival seminary stood vacant for four decades before a meticulous restoration saved the landmark.
