If you live in the Pacific Northwest, you’ve probably heard of the McMenamins group, a family-owned chain of music venues, pubs, breweries and hotels, which are typically renovated historic buildings. Their latest venture, the Kalama Harbor Lodge, just opened — and you’ll definitely want to visit. It’s Hawaiian-themed, meaning you can enjoy a tropical vacation without leaving Washington (or worrying about lava).

The McMenamins Kalama Harbor Lodge is located in the town of Kalama between totem poles and the marina at the Port of Kalama.
