Fodor's Expert Review Palace Hotel
1004 Water St., Port Townsend, Washington, 98368, USA
In a former bordello that retains its 19th-century grandeur, this reasonably priced inn has light-filled rooms—many named for the women who used to work here—that feature 14-foot ceilings, towering windows, and elegant period furnishings like hand-carved dressers, wrought-iron bed frames, and big claw-foot bathtubs. A corner suite retains its original fireplace and a fainting couch. Grand sitting areas anchor all three levels, and the mezzanine has a balcony overlooking the entryway and a circular ceiling mural.
