Our Stay at PostHotel Leavenworth: The Ultimate Adults-Only Alpine Escape in Washington
If you’ve ever dreamed of escaping to the Alps—without leaving the U.S.—PostHotel Leavenworth might just be your dream come true. Nestled in the heart of Leavenworth, Washington, this luxury, adults-only spa hotel delivered one of the most relaxing and romantic getaways we’ve had in a long time.
From panoramic river views and marble soaking tubs to warm croissants and a full-service wellness experience, here’s everything we loved (and why we’re already planning our next visit).
Why We Chose PostHotel in Leavenworth, WAshington
Leavenworth is already one of Washington’s most charming towns—with its Bavarian-style architecture, mountain views, and four-season magic—but PostHotel takes it to a whole new level of relaxation and refinement.
We chose to stay here for a few key reasons:
- It offers a full European-style spa experience.
- 2 meals a day are included with your stay.
- During the holidays this whole town turns into a scene out of a Hallmark Christmas movie.
- It’s centrally located—walking distance to everything in town, but still feels secluded and peaceful.
And trust us… it delivered on all of that and more.
Our Room: The Classic Balcony Room
We booked the Classic Balcony Room, and it felt like stepping into a tranquil mountain retreat.
Here’s what we loved most:
- French doors that opened to a private balcony with views of the river and surrounding mountains.
- A cozy fireplace and sitting area—perfect for sipping wine after a spa session.
- A luxurious marble bathroom with a deep soaking tub and separate rain shower (yes, we soaked every night).
- Dreamy heated floors in the bathroom and thoughtful touches everywhere you looked.
Pro Tip: If you want peaceful views and quick access to the spa and wellness area, request a river-facing room on the lower level!

The Spa & Wellness Area: Next-Level Relaxation
One of the biggest reasons we stayed at PostHotel was for the spa—and it exceeded all expectations.
Here’s what’s included in your stay:
- A heated indoor/outdoor saltwater pool
- An indoor cold plunge and warm soaking tub
- Finnish sauna, eucalyptus steam room, and aqua therapy circuit
- Relaxation rooms with snacks, fruit-infused water, and alpine teas
We spent hours moving from sauna to cold plunge to the cozy fireplace lounge. It felt European in the best way—quiet, luxurious, and so thoughtfully designed.
Don’t miss the heated outdoor pool at night—it’s absolutely magical under the stars!
Breakfast at PostHotel: A European-Style Dream
Your stay at PostHotel includes a European breakfast buffet—and this was no basic hotel breakfast. Think:
- Warm croissants and flaky pastries
- Organic yogurt with housemade granola
- Smoked salmon, cheese, charcuterie, and soft-boiled eggs
- Barista-made lattes and cappuccinos
We loved sitting in the breakfast room overlooking the river, slowly savoring our meal before heading to the spa.
They also offer a light lunch service and evening desserts and wine, which is the perfect way to end a day of relaxation.
Location: Right in the Heart of Leavenworth
Even though you’ll be tempted to stay in your robe all day, Leavenworth’s main street is just steps away. We took peaceful walks through town, browsed the local shops, grabbed dinner at nearby restaurants, and even picked up a few Bavarian-inspired souvenirs.
Everything in town is walkable, but PostHotel’s quiet setting along the river makes it feel like a private hideaway.
The Vibe: Perfect for Romance, Wellness, or a Special Occasion
Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, anniversary trip, or just need a restorative escape, PostHotel is a must for couples or solo travelers looking to unwind in luxury.
What stood out most was the intentional design of the entire stay—from the calm energy of the spa to the slow-paced meals and peaceful quiet of an adults-only hotel. Every detail invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment.
