What People Are Saying
"Astoria's newest and most ambitious hotel is built on the site of the former Union Fish Cannery. The hotel is literally on the Columbia River, at the end of a 600-foot pier directly below the soaring
Astoria-Megler Bridge. The hotel deftly juxtaposes grit with luxe; exposed steel beams and wooden trusses blend seamlessly with contemporary furnishings and plush linens. All 46 rooms
boast fireplaces, balconies, hardwood floors, and eye-popping river views."

"A Pier without Peer…Astoria’s Cannery Pier Hotel is all about the Columbia—and stunning river views…to get any closer to the Columbia in Astoria, you would have to jump in."
Portland Oregonian
"HOTEL HOTSHEET… Maybe it’s because I’ve always wanted to visit Astoria, Ore., ever since I saw Kindergarten Cop. Or maybe it’s because the city topped Good Morning America’s list of top 5 places to retire. Whatever the reason, the Cannery Pier Hotel in Astoria looks like a sweet place to cultivate a little romance."

"Astoria has an edge-of-the-world BEAUTY that wins YOUR HEART. A quirky, supernatural aura hovers over it." (caption on a photo of the Cannery Pier Hotel)
National Geographic Traveler Magazine
"By far the best place to commune with the Columbia for the night is the recently opened Cannery Pier Hotel, moored 600 feet out on the river and supported by the pilings of the long-defunct Union Fisherman's Cooperative Packing Company. Smartly placed window seats afford views of the magnificent span of the Astoria-Megler Bridge, mere yards away, or distant Cape Disappointment, best viewed with the binoculars provided. Open up the wall shutters and you can even gaze at the river while indulging in a hot bath in the claw-foot tub."
Portland Monthly Magazine
"The new Cannery Pier Hotel in Astoria, Ore., puts its guests right out in the shipping channel of the Columbia River—but not on a boat. Built at the end of a 600-foot pier on the site of a former cannery, the hotel provides up-close views of freighters, fishing vessels and sailing craft from each of the 48 rooms."
Chicago Tribune
"This new boutique hotel, open only since August, is the buzz of Astoria. Built on 100-year-old pilings, the hotel glows on its perch in the shadow of the Astoria-Megler Bridge. Designed to echo one of the city's many old canneries on the outside, the hotel has an up-to-the-minute feel inside. Bathrooms have clawfoot tubs, slab granite showers and vanities and shuttered windows that open in to the bedroom. Each room has a small deck that gives guests a salmon's-eye viewpoint of the towering bridge. You couldn't get closer to passing ships unless the hotel pulled anchor and floated down the river."
