Since this hotel is an original independent property owned and operated by the Tulalip tribe without any hotel brand standards to follow, planners and managers were able to color outside all the lines. You’ll find unusual amenities such as standard 500 sq. ft. rooms with 4X4 three-head showers, pocket doors, floor-to-floor window walls, robes and slippers, original native art, and separate water closets. Wi-fi and parking are both complimentary. |

The 12th floor hosts five high-end specialty suites, each designed with its own theme. A little bit of Vegas comes to Tulalip in these suites with designer living rooms, pool tables, custom sinks and bathrooms and spacious bedrooms.
Room taxes in Snohomish County are 10.5%. When wi-fi, parking and tax costs are compared with King County, ($10, $40 and 15.6% respectively), many local bridal parties book family and friends into Tulalip Resort. They get lots of stunning service from the wedding specialist on staff.
The bridal lounge, just across the hall from the T Spa, affords a separate area for changing, staging and preparation. Weddings are performed at the nearby indoor Oasis pool area. The resort provides a complete combination of services for any sort of celebration but their facilities are especially wedding party-friendly.
Savvy travelers choose Tulalip for a meal even if they're not staying at the resort and find a lot more than they bargained for. All restaurants are smoke free and first rate. For a special occasion, have dinner at the award-winning Tulalip Bay in the fabulous wine room. Its 18-place round table is lit by a Dale Chihuly chandelier, served impeccably by knowledgeable staff and cheffed by James Beard House invitee Dean Shinagawa. Imagine royalty in Lucerne and you won't be far off, except by a few thousand geographical miles.

Cedars Café off the hotel lobby serves made-to-order convenient breakfasts (lunches and dinners as well) and for the all-you-can-eat crowd, Eagles Buffet can’t be beat. Don't miss the desert bar.
Gallery and impulse Lounges, often with live music, are the après skis of casino excitement. This is the spot to moan or celebrate your losses and winnings. And a great excuse to shake some booty.
