Cannery Pier Hotel & Spa

Every room in this boutique hotel faces the Columbia River from a working pier, with container ships and the occasional sea lion drifting past while you soak in the tub. The brick exterior nods to the cannery it replaced, and the Finnish sauna nods to Astoria's fishing past. A vintage car shuttles guests downtown each evening, after wine and smoked salmon in the lounge, because some hotels don't make you go looking for the charm.
