Adventurous travelers will find lodging, spa services and a sense of community at the renovated retreat in the historic Bingen-White Salmon School. Not only does Bingen and White Salmon share a police department and other community services, we now share a super hip and cool historic hotel/hostel in our 80-year old school – The Society Hotel Bingen. The Bingen-White Salmon school was built in 1937 by the Civilian Conseration Corps (CCC) as part of the New Deal. The 7500-square-foot schoolhouse served as the school for Bingen and White Salmon from 1938 until the 1970s.
The historic schoolhouse will retain some original features while being converted into the lobby, café, and guest rooms. The original multipurpose gym will also be both restored and upgraded keeping the stage and bleachers. The Society Hotel Bingen will bridge the gap between hotel and hostel by offering both private rooms and bunkhouse accommodations in the main schoolhouse building, along with new stand-alone cabins. The three options for accommodation will appeal to a variety of travelers who are drawn to the Gorge for its incredible diversity of activities in a stunning setting – from hiking, cycling and white water rafting and other watersports, to wine, beer and cider tasting.
