OVERVIEW of the Inn at Langley

Whidbey Island is a wonderful weekend retreat, particularly for Seattle and Portland city dwellers. Its natural beauty, local wineries, farm-to-table restaurants, outdoor activities and quaint charm make an ideal place to relax and unwind. The island is about 30 miles north of Seattle, and is about 55 miles long and 12 miles wide. The cities of Langley and Oak Harbor are the largest towns and the island population sits at about 70,000 people.

The town of Langley overlooks Saratoga Passage, borders Puget Sound, and offers amazing views of Mount Baker and the Cascade Mountains. It is home to an eclectic band of writers, artists, performers and creators. The quirkiness of this town was evident during one visit when the entire town turned out for Oscar Night at the local vintage movie theater. Klieg lights, red carpet and all. Everyone came dressed as a nominee.

The Inn at Langley is a vibrant member of a vibrant community, renowned for its restaurant and hospitality.

DINING at the Inn at Langley

The signature restaurant is Passages named for the waters that shape this island. It is under the direction of Executive Chef Johnny Spero who came up through the kitchens of James Beard Award–winner Johnny Monis and José Andrés’ celebrated Minibar in Washington D.C., where he earned the Eater “Chef of the Year” and led the kitchen to a four-star review from the Washington Post. At Passage, Spero brings that same depth of craft to the Pacific Northwest: working in close relationship with the farmers, fishers, and foragers of the region.

Exceptional wine list with an emphasis on Washington and Oregon wines. May be the most reasonable pricing we have seen in a top quality restaurant. Had they applied, this list would surely have won an award from Wine Spectator.

WHAT OTHERS SAY About the Inn at Langley

“The setting alone, overlooking Saratoga Passage, may be enough to rank this place firmly among the best small inns in the region. However, Japanese-influenced styling, soaking tubs with water views, and fireplaces are all welcome luxuries at this romantic retreat.” Frommer’s
