Hotel Description

Located on beautiful Orcas Island in Washington State's San Juan Islands, Rosario Resort & Spa, a member of Historic Hotels of America, has long been a favorite destination for travelers seeking relaxation and unparalleled beauty in the Pacific Northwest. Rosario offers 116 comfortably appointed guest rooms and suites spread out over 30 waterfront acres. Accommodations are provided near the resort’s centerpiece, the historic Moran Mansion, and on a hillside above Rosario’s marina, overlooking a stunning panorama of forested mountains and pristine shorelines. Built between 1906-1909 by Seattle mayor and shipbuilder Robert Moran, the Moran Mansion is listed on the National Historic Register and houses the resort’s dining room, lounge, boutique and spa (guest accommodations are not available in the mansion). Open to the public, the Moran Museum offers a fascinating look back at the Moran history with original furnishings and unique northwest nautical artifacts. The magnificent Music Room features an original 1913 Aeolian Pipe Organ and 1900 Steinway Grand Piano, which are still used in live performances. Recognized as the premier meeting facility in the San Juan Islands, Rosario’s waterfront Discovery Conference Center offers over 6,000 square feet of flexible meeting and banquet space for up to 300 people. In addition, the resort features creative indoor and outdoor venues for group events and entertaining. A variety of recreational activities are available on Orcas Island, most of which are located near the resort.
