Located just two hours west of Seattle, Alderbrook Resort & Spa is set on the serene shores of Puget Sound’s Hood Canal in Union, Washington. Surrounded by the majestic Olympic Mountain range, this luxurious retreat combines natural beauty with upscale amenities, making it the perfect destination for couples seeking a romantic getaway.

With 77 rooms and 16 cottages, all accommodations feature stunning Hood Canal area views. Choose from waterfront rooms with private balconies and deep soaking tubs, or cozy cottages that have fireplaces and fully equipped kitchens. All accommodations feature luxurious linens, oversized bathrobes with slippers, and aromatic Lather bath amenities. Additionally, Alderbrook’s pet-friendly policy ensures that you can bring your furry friends along to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

The onsite Spa at Alderbrook Resort provides a tranquil environment with the aromas of cedar and evergreen and the gentle sound of water cascading over rocks. The spa offers an array of treatments including massages, body wraps, and facials. We love the “Joy for Two” couple’s massage, which incorporates deep tissue techniques, hot stones, and aromatherapy. This rejuvenating experience is designed for two, offering a shared moment of relaxation that promotes overall well-being and leaves you both feeling refreshed and restored. Guests can enjoy the steam room, sauna, saltwater pool, and jacuzzi in addition to the spa services at Alderbrook. The pool and jacuzzi even have views of the Hood Canal!

The Restaurant at Alderbrook offers seasonal Northwest cuisine with a focus on locally sourced ingredients, from fresh seafood to seasonal produce. The newly renovated dining room overlooks the gorgeous Hood Canal, and provides a relaxed yet elegant environment where every seat in the restaurant has a view. Alderbrook favorites include the razor clam chowder, the grand marnier prawns, the pacific oysters “Alderfeller,” and the Dungeness crab cakes with lemon cream and tobiko. The restaurant also has a fantastic selection of steaks, with upgrades such as prawns, Dungeness crab, and herb butter. If you’re craving a sweet treat, the dark chocolate cremieux with candied bacon is a must-try.

During the summer months guests can enjoy time on the outdoor patio, watching the seals and eagles play while enjoying a cocktail or glass of wine. We also recommend venturing two miles west of Alderbrook to Hook & Fork, a casual waterfront dining option at Union City Market. Hook & Fork has a seasonally rotating menu full of fresh seafood, and you can often catch them grilling oysters while you soak in the stunning views of Hood Canal and the Olympic Mountains.

Hood Canal presents a playground of outdoor adventures, especially in the summertime. Kayak through the glassy waters, hike the lush forest trails, or cast a line for some of the region’s finest fishing. The canal’s diverse ecosystem offers wildlife enthusiasts opportunities to spot seals, eagles, and more. When you’re done adventuring, return to the comfort of Alderbrook, where your relaxing accommodations, exquisite dining, and a rejuvenating spa await.

Alderbrook Resort & Spa seamlessly blends luxury with nature, offering couples a perfect escape to reconnect and unwind amidst Washington’s captivating landscapes.
