| "At Oregon’s Allison Inn & Spa, you can wake up to a view of Willamette Valley from your terrace, spend the afternoon sampling Pinot Noirs at local wineries, then retreat to the hotel spa for a “pinotherapy” treatment." - Travel + Leisure |
The Allison Inn & Spa was again chosen as a top destination by Travel + Leisure's readership in the annual World's Best Awards survey. The Allison was the No. 4 hotel overall and the only hotel in the United States to be in the top five of the World's Best Wine Country Hotels, according to readers.
In Condé Nast’s Readers' Choice Awards the Allison was named the #1 hotel in the Pacific Northwest. The Allison scored highly in all hotel criteria but topped the charts in the 'Design' category with a score of 97/100.
The Allison Inn &
Spa's design is inspired by the lush Willamette Valley that surrounds
it. Five acres of planted vineyards are the backdrop for several of the
Allison's outdoor spaces. Travel
+ Leisure describes the Allison as, "...blend[ing] into
its setting, with subtle earth tones that match the nearby vineyards, gardens
and lawns."
Not to be missed is JORY, the Allison's signature restaurant. Taking its
cue from the sustainable elements infused throughout the Allison's design,
JORY's extensive wine list is coded by bio-dynamic, organic and sustainable
wines.
To our friends at The Allison, keep on knocking it out of the park!
