Heliotrope Hotel

A Vintage Motel Turned Modern Oasis

Located less than a mile from Bellingham's downtown core, The Heliotrope Hotel is a haven at the heart of things. Transformed from its past incarnation as a 1950s motel, the Heliotrope is now modern, stylish and inspiring. Owned by artistic locals, the Heliotrope was dreamed up by people who truly care about this unique Pacific Northwest corner and the experience you’ll have there. This is a boutique that offers guests genuine care, thoughtfully designed comfort, and informed staff to help you enjoy all the region has to offer.

What it's like

As you explore this unique boutique’s inviting spaces, you’ll understand why it was named for the Greek word meaning “turn toward the sun”: light-filled and artistically inspired, the Heliotrope is where you'll find true PNW. As you take the time to appreciate the local art on display, the careful craftsmanship and the attention to every design detail, you’ll be in awe of the fact that each room offers a unique sense of Pacific Northwest place and space. Pack your pets, bikes, skis, your work (if you must) and your sense of adventure.
