The Paradise Inn was originally built in 1916 and houses 121 guest rooms, the Paradise Inn Dining Room, Tatoosh Café, and authentic Native American arts and crafts at the gift shop.
In 1919, Han Fraehnke, a German carpenter, added much of the decorative woodwork that he designed and built himself. A skilled craftsman, Han also built the lodge’s rustic piano and the 14 foot grandfather clock.
Step outside the historic Paradise Inn accommodations and be welcomed by the site of meadows in full bloom, miles of trails that lead to adventures in all directions and explore the outdoors the way it was meant to be, free from modern life stresses and distractions. Stand in awe of Nisqually Glacier and head out to the Longmire Museum or the visitor centers at Ohanopecosh, Sunrise and Paradise for more information and displays of the areas rich history.
