Central Oregon lodge awarded as one of Tripadvisor's 'Best of the Best Hotels'

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Looking for a laidback trip? A Central Oregon getaway is considered one of the best hotels in the country, along with a Portland stay.

Earlier this spring, Tripadvisor unveiled the winners in the Travelers’ Choice Awards “Best of the Best Hotels” category. This category highlights stays that “checks all the boxes,” with “outstanding service, comfy rooms [and] the works.”

Found in Sisters, FivePine Lodge & Cabins was third-best on the list of 25 U.S. awardees. The rustic spot was recognized as a relaxing hotel that is fit for families, couples or business trips.

It holds several amenities such as the on-site Shibui Spa, heated pool, movie theater, fitness center and microbrewery. Some guests have used its Elda Teresa Event Center as a wedding venue as well.

The lodge offers free breakfast daily, happy hour nightly and free bike rentals. And with its location about 25 minutes outside of Bend, guests can take advantage of all of the outdoor activities and attractions within the city.

“Your continued love, support, and feedback drive us to strive for excellence every single day,” FivePine Lodge & Cabins wrote in response to the award. “We couldn't have achieved this without each and every one of you.”

According to Tripadvisor, Travelers’ Choice Awards go to businesses that received a high volume of positive reviews within 12 months.

Only about 1% of the website’s 8 million listings receive the honor, and this year, Portland’s Hotel Lucia was additionally recognized at No. 22 on the best hotels list.

“Hotel Lucia is more than just a great location—you'll also find cozy rooms, hip decor, and plenty of options for a fun and relaxing stay,” Tripadvisor said. “Take advantage of the pinball machines and board games, as well as the coffee shop, bar, and restaurant.”

The pet-friendly stay, which was formerly named the New Imperial Hotel, is also on the National Register of Historic Places.
