Once affectionately called "the palace of sweets"; the award-winning Palace Hotel is located one block from the Puget Sound in the heart of the downtown historic district of Port Townsend, WA, a National Historic Seaport. Built in the Richardson Romanesque style in 1889, the hotel has fourteen-foot ceilings and ten-foot arched windows that appear to extend for two stories. Recently renovated, there are seventeen rooms which range from continental style to suites, many with water views, refrigerators, and microwaves, and all with cable televisions. Step back in time and relax in plush Victorian comfort, surrounded by antiques, stained glass, and mementos of days gone by.
