Inn at Cape Kiwanda

What Inn at Cape Kiwanda does

Inn at Cape Kiwanda is a privately held 35-room boutique oceanfront hotel located at 33105 Cape Kiwanda Drive in Pacific City, Oregon, positioned across the road from the beach with unobstructed views of Haystack Rock. The property was founded in July 1998 by Jeff Schons and Mary Jones, and since March 2024 has been operated by Noble House Hotels & Resorts, a multi-property hospitality management company whose portfolio spans 25+ boutique and luxury hotels across the United States and Mexico. In 2025 the property completed a full transformation of all rooms and suites, designed by EDG Design around a modern coastal aesthetic and surf-inspired soul, with new interiors, furnishings, and spa-inspired bathrooms.

The core offering consists of ten distinct room types ranging from approximately 300 sq ft Signature King and Two Queens rooms to the ~400 sq ft Haystack One-Bedroom Suite and 350 sq ft themed family suites (Dory Family Suite, O'Neill Surf Suite), all featuring ocean views, private balconies, gas fireplaces, and 55" Smart TVs. Nightly rates span approximately $225-$400 as of early 2026. The property supplements rooms with add-on packages (Romance at the Cape, Sunset Bonfire Bundle, Puptastic Staycation, Breakfast in Bed, Haystack Hideaway, Coastal Wine & Chocolate) and shares amenities — indoor pool, hot tub, and Tidepools Spa & Wellness at adjacent Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa — across a unified Noble House-operated Pacific City campus alongside Hart's Camp and the adjacent Pelican Brewing Company.

Revenue is generated almost entirely from transient leisure bookings, with go-to-market executed through direct channels (property website with SynXis booking engine, call center, toll-free line, email reservations) and third-party OTAs (Expedia, Booking.com, Kayak). Target customers span families with children, romance-seeking couples, active outdoor enthusiasts, pet owners, digital nomads, and wellness-focused travelers, primarily drawn from the Portland metro area and broader Pacific Northwest within a 2-3 hour drive. General Manager Tara Blair and Area Managing Director Will Farrow (since March 2025) oversee operations under Noble House ownership.
