Unwind, relax and indulge in serenity and comfort by booking a hotel or bed and breakfast equipped with a spa tub. From romantic claw foot tubs to deep soaking tubs, having a room with a fancy, big bathtub makes any getaway even more special.
Add bubbles, rose petals or scented oils for extra glamour (but please, always check with the lodging proprietors to make sure it is approved for use in their tubs as plumbing and equipment can be sensitive). Whether you want a tub with jets for treating sore muscles and sports injuries, or you prefer a tub with a view and/or privacy for a long warm soak with a good book... we've sleuthed out some of the best bathtubs from the coast to the Cascades.
The Gordon Hotel
Eugene
Request The Gordon Hotel's 7th Floor West Suite or a one bedroom suite for a hotel room with indulgent standalone tubs. Sink into these deep-sided beauties for a restorative soak. Enjoy the elegant, contemporary room design with the artistic flair featured throughout the hotel. Finish off your tub experience in a plush robe and uncork the bottle from the Pfeiffer Winery tasting room in Market Alley below — or open up a pint of ice cream from Handel's or a box of truffles from Euphoria Chocolate Company. The add-on options from the adjacent storefronts are diverse and plentiful.
This European-style boutique hotel is tucked into the 5th Street Public Market in the Market District. The Inn at the 5th's spa suites are quiet retreats from the downtown bustle. In the Crystal Suite enjoy the gas fireplace from the whirlpool tub — and there is also a large walk-in shower with a waterfall shower head, and of course, plush robes. Take the spa experience even further by booking massages or pedicures with Gervais, a separate day spa just adjacent to the hotel. The Inn's bath amenities are all Aveda, as is Gervais. You can even move discreetly from Gervais' spa rooms to the hotel through the building hallways without stepping outside. Utilize each room's private butler pantry for maximum privacy when ordering room service.
This enchanted bed and breakfast in the Market District of downtown Eugene offers charming elegance and romance. The Campbell House Inn suites in the Carriage House all have whirlpool tubs, with the Stephen Suite featuring a corner jetted tub along with a regal four-poster bed and gas fireplace — the ultimate in romance! Other tubs to note include the Dr. Ava Johnson Suite in the Main House with a whirlpool tub tucked into a dormer room and the Cogwell room which offers an antique clawfoot bathtub for an old fashioned soak.
The Eagle Rock Lodge is a gorgeous bed and breakfast on the McKenzie River in the Cascade Mountains. After a vigorous day of hiking through old growth forests, admiring gushing waterfalls or paddling the rapids; return to the soothing comforts of a two-person jetted tub in a meticulous suite. The Mayfly and Songbird rooms offer tubs, along with plush robes for relaxing by the gas fireplace after your bath. This special riverfront property also serves up delicious breakfasts every morning — truly a romantic getaway and a perfect retreat for recharging.
For the authentic European-style experience stay in the Cape Cove room or Queen Anne room and use the shared bathroom down the hall. Robes are provided, and the bathroom features a porcelain clawfoot tub by the window overlooking the beach below. Just don't soak too long, as others may wish to use the room too! The Lightkeeper's room has its own private bath, also just down the hall — but just for you. The Heceta Lighthouse B&B is one of those bucket-list destinations complete with a lavish multi-course breakfast, charming communal rooms, its own ghost stories and gorgeous coastal views from every vantage point.
The River House Inn is right on Bay Street just a few blocks from the best shopping and strolling in Historic Old Town Florence. Request a corner spa room with stunning views of the Siuslaw River. From the balcony watch the fishing boats come and go under the historic Siuslaw River Bridge. Marvel at daredevil sandboarders and dune buggies cruising the sand slopes on the far side of the river.
The jetted tubs are set back into the room for privacy and are comfortably spacious. Management has been known to give kids a rubber ducky with the room!
