Built in 1891 as the Tourist Hotel, Bird Rock is today one of the oldest hotels on the island and enjoys historic status. If you look closely, you can still see the original name inlaid in the bricks on the very top of the building on the First Street side. The Tourist Hotel was the first hotel with indoor plumbing on the isle, a rare luxury at the time.
It had a restaurant, bar, pool hall and a reception room for the ladies, who were not allowed in the bar. A dentist periodically provided his services in the lobby, most likely with anesthesia dispensed from said bar. Since then the hotel has undergone many transformations, from hostel, private residence, house of ill-repute to famous pizzeria with a hot tub rental place in the basement and back to being a hotel.

Having a room with a kitchenette is a real treat--whether it is to cook your catch of the day or the clams from the local seafood farm or simply to heat up yummy leftovers. Especially if it comes with a private balcony overlooking Friday Harbor's waterfront! The stunning San Juan Suite, located on the top floor and flooded in natural light, is undeniably the most romantic room in our lovely hotel.
