Cascada Thermal Springs & Hotel

Remarkable. Understated, unpretentious, heartwarming, ecologically responsible wellness hotel/spas don’t have to be complicated and Cascada is proof. The underground sanctuary of thermal pools is quiet voices only and rivals other spots in town where social hour kills the vibe. The cocktail menu and raw bar at Terra Mae is ace.

Cascada is a wonderful escape experience! It is beautifully and thoughtfully designed and is so relaxing. My wife and I were there for the weekend. We had a spa reservation for Saturday only, but booked again for Sunday morning because we wanted to come back. It felt luxurious to walk in our bathrobes from our hotel room straight to the spa and spend hours there. I typically like to read poolside but felt so zenned out by the pools that I didn't even want to. I highly recommend Cascada and can't wait to return.

My wife and I have experienced many hot-spring spas up and down the west coast in the last 20 years. We never expected to find an incredible Hotel/Spa like Cascada in Portland . The hotel is very nicely appointed with upscale materials and design. Several large, live-plant collections add a natural feel to the various open spaces. The ergonomic features of the rooms seemed to anticipate human needs before I did. Lighting, materials and design are very well thought out. The thermal springs Spa was the highlight, of course. Three large, different-temperature pools were very inviting. A dedicated cold-plunge pool is also present. The dry sauna and wet sauna are both large, with comfortable surfaces to sit or lie down on. The atmosphere in the Spa is enhanced by water sounds, low lighting and music, high ceilings and perfect temperature. The mid-level pool and atrium are inviting and calm, with comfortable places to relax. What a treat to find this gem of a hotel and spa in a cool and quaint neighborhood in Portland!
