The Lodge at St. Edward State Park Seattle/Kirkland

The historic seminary dorms have been converted into guest rooms, which are outfitted in a blend of modern and Art Deco flair, with custom wallpaper depicting the building’s architectural drawings as a tie between converging eras. Bathrooms feature walk-in showers and generous vanity space.

At Cedar + Elm, you might enjoy breakfast drizzled with honey from the property apiary, or a salad with herbs and greens from the Chef’s Garden. Father Mulligan’s Heritage Bar is ideal for a drink and light bites, while The Tonsorium Bar serves craft cocktails surrounded by barbershop panache.

Vita Nova Spa channels natural, seasonal treatment ingredients into massages, scrubs, and rituals crafted to beautify, heal, and refresh you. Feel free to stretch out with a yoga class, take a meditative walk along the seminary trail, or stay active in the on-site fitness center.

The restaurants and bars often offer live music for a celebratory feeling, and the artist-in-residence program brings art workshops and demonstrations into the lodge. Hike and bike along the state park trails, or get out on Lake Washington with a kayak or paddleboard.
