About the sponsor: Bonneville Hot Springs Resort & Spa is a lodging and hot springs destination in the Columbia River Gorge focusing on comfort, clarity, and outstanding amenities.
Nestled in Washington’s scenic Columbia River Gorge, Bonneville Hot Springs Resort & Spa invites visitors to relax and unwind in a peaceful, forested setting. Soak in on-site mineral hot springs, enjoy the full-service spa, sample local cuisine, and immerse yourself in nature with direct trail access. Reopened under new ownership and management in 2025, the resort continues to offer outstanding service and ample amenities so guests can make the most of their time exploring the region.
Discover Bonneville Hot Springs Resort & Spa
Two features set this property apart. The hot springs come from an on-site geothermal source, and the resort itself is nestled in a serene stretch of the Gorge near the Bonneville Dam and Cascade Locks. Guests can enjoy easy access to mineral pools and trail networks for a relaxing escape surrounded by nature.
Experience Relaxation at Serenity Spa
The resort’s Serenity Spa offers a focused menu of services that are easy to understand and book. Guests can choose from massage therapy, facials, and specialty treatments that use natural ingredients and warm mineral water. One of the most requested options is the bath and body wrap, perfect for those seeking a full body treatment centered on circulation and skin health.
Soak in Mineral Hot Springs
The mineral hot springs are the central feature of Bonneville Hot Springs Resort & Spa. The water comes directly from a geothermal source under the resort and is circulated through a continuous flow system that keeps the mineral levels stable throughout the day.
Guests can use both an indoor soaking pool and the outdoor area, which includes a large hot-tub-style mineral pool. The indoor pool is perfect during colder weather, while the outdoor option provides fresh air and mountain views. Several room types also include private mineral-fed hot tubs. These in-room tubs use the same geothermal water as the main pools, giving guests a private soaking experience.
For non-overnight visitors, the resort offers a small number of one-hour and two-hour soaking passes each day. These are limited to maintain a peaceful atmosphere.
The combination of soaking options, a sauna, cold plunges, and controlled capacity make the hot springs a oractical recovery option for guests focused on wellness and relaxation.
Find Seasonal Offers and Winter Activities
From mid-November through early January, the resort runs the Seven Weeks of Winter Holidays, providing a festive atmosphere. Each week features a seasonal theme, which may include lobby cider service, ornaments at check in, family friendly activities, and more.
Midweek pricing, spa perks, and dining promotions may also be available for select dates. For many guests, this makes winter one of the best times to plan a stay at Bonneville Hot Springs Resort & Spa.
Enjoy Delicious On-Site Dining and Drinks
The on-site Pacific Crest Restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner featuring Northwest favorites—think grilled salmon with roasted potatoes and fish and chips—plus seasonal dishes, handcrafted cocktails, and more. It’s the perfect option for guests looking for a simple, well-prepared meal after enjoying a soak or a day on the trails. The resort also includes a cafe for coffee, snacks, and lighter bites.
Discover Easy Access to Outdoor Adventure
With direct access to an extensive trail network, it’s easy to explore the Columbia River Gorge. A path on the property connects to the Dick Thomas Trail, allowing guests to begin a hike without driving to a trailhead.
From the resort, Aldrich Butte is about 3.5 miles round trip, while Table Mountain is roughly 8 miles round trip. Those who want longer mileage can access the Bonneville Trailhead to the east, which connects to the Tamanous Trail.
The resort also offers e-bike rentals, giving guests another way to explore the area. Several nearby routes are bike friendly, including riverfront paths and forested connectors that link to larger trail systems. Combine a morning ride with a mineral soak for the perfect day of adventure and relaxation.
