Hotels in Astoria

Victorian homes cling to hillsides above a bustling waterfront where sea lions bark their opinions to passing ships. The Astoria Column rewards climbers with views spanning the mighty Columbia River meeting the Pacific. Wander the maritime museum where tales of shipwrecks and salmon runs bring the region's watery history to life. Film buffs can visit locations from 'The Goonies' before sampling craft beers in converted canneries. The vintage trolley rattles along the riverfront, while Fort Clatsop recreates where Lewis and Clark's expedition spent a soggy winter. The Flavel House Museum showcases the opulence of shipping magnates who once controlled this vital port, now transformed into a haven for artists and fishermen alike.
