Orcas Hotel

The Orcas Hotel hosts weddings, corporate gatherings, bat mitzvahs, and private celebrations of all kinds, from intimate dinner parties to full property buyouts, at the Orcas Island ferry landing in the San Juan Islands. Built between 1900 and 1904, the hotel has welcomed travelers for generations and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982; guests and event-goers step directly off the ferry onto the property, with no parking required. Events can be held in the Dining Room, featuring the Orcas Hotel Bar, for 20 to 40 guests depending on event style; in Big Blue, a cozy drawing room and wine bar for intimate gatherings of up to 12; or outdoors on the Lower and Upper Lawns, which host lunches, receptions, dinners, and small ceremonies. The hotel's event team builds custom menus for any time of day, offers full bar service, and can arrange on-site room blocks for guests along with off-site catering delivered anywhere on Orcas Island.
