CANNON BEACH, ORE. (July 8, 2025) - Stephanie Inn, Oregon's premier oceanfront boutique hotel located in Cannon Beach, has been named the No. 1 Resort in the West in the Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards 2025 readers' survey. This prestigious recognition marks a milestone achievement for the intimate 42-room coastal sanctuary, which has been welcoming discerning travelers to the Oregon Coast for over three decades. 

Stephanie Inn is a Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards 2025 winner based on the results of the publication's annual readers' survey, which recognizes the top hotels, islands, cities, cruise lines, airlines, spas, and more around the globe. Each year, Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards serve as an essential, trusted source for inspiration and guidance as travelers make plans to set out on trips around the world. 

“We are deeply honored to receive this recognition from Travel + Leisure readers,” said Ryan Snyder, President and Owner of Stephanie Inn. “This award is a testament to our team's unwavering commitment to creating extraordinary experiences for our guests, as well as our dedication to celebrating the natural beauty and artisanal spirit of the Oregon Coast. Every element of the Stephanie Inn experience is designed to help our guests forge a profound connection with the sea, the land, and our vibrant coastal community.”

Designed as the “Ultimate Beach House,” Stephanie Inn sits directly on the shores of Cannon Beach, just 80 miles west of Portland. The property seamlessly blends understated luxury with the untamed natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, offering guests expansive ocean views, direct beach access, and elegantly appointed accommodations featuring cozy fireplaces, deep soaking tubs, and plush robes. 

The award comes on the heels of the hotel's continued evolution and expansion of guest experiences. Building on its 30th anniversary celebrations in 2023, which introduced the “Art of the Stephanie” collection featuring 19 original artworks by 15 North Coast and regional artists, the Inn has further enhanced its offerings with new seasonal experiences and culinary collaborations. 

The acclaimed Stephanie Inn Dining Room, known for sharing exceptional Northwest cuisine with its guests, showcases chef-driven, hyper-local cuisine featuring partnerships with artisans and producers within 100  miles of the property. Executive Chef Aaron Bedard's prix fixe menu changes daily with the seasons, and celebrates locally sourced ingredients—from foraged sea greens and wild mushrooms to blueberries grown at sister property Public Coast Farm. 

Spa Stephanie continues to provide a sanctuary for wellness with three dedicated treatment rooms offering personalized treatments utilizing high-quality botanicals and Kerstin Florian spa products. Guests can choose from a variety of personalized services, including the Neroli Blossom Recharge Massage, a full body treatment; Mineral Relief Massage, a mineral-infused therapeutic massage; and Botanical Crush, a Turkish full body scrub. Guided meditations and yoga sessions are also available in-room via the SONIFI TV system, which enables guests to engage in wellness practices at their convenience. 

Additional offerings include the hotel's complimentary Uniquely Stephanie program—curated, immersive seasonal experiences that showcase the best of the region. Guests can enjoy guided beach walks, art tours, visits to Public Coast Brewing Co., Pacific Northwest honey tastings, artisanal chocolate pairings, and exclusive wine tastings featuring local vintners. And beginning this August, Stephanie Inn's Sojourns Program will introduce The Great Coastal Catch—an ocean-faring adventure led by Executive Chef Aaron Bedard and in partnership with First Nature Tours. For an additional fee, guests can join Chef Bedard on a salmon and ocean floor fishing expedition along the Oregon Coast, in search of some of the Pacific's most iconic fish.

The recognition by Travel + Leisure readers reinforces Stephanie Inn's position among the region's most celebrated destinations. The property has previously received accolades from Condé Nast Traveler, TripAdvisor, Sunset, Food & Wine, and U.S. News & World Report. Set against Cannon Beach's dramatic shoreline and the iconic silhouette of Haystack Rock, Stephanie Inn embodies the romance and rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest, making it an unforgettable destination for romantic escapes, restorative retreats, and moments of celebration by the sea.
