Salishan Coastal Lodge Celebrates 60 Years of Pacific Northwest Hospitality
GLENEDEN BEACH, OR (June 3, 2025) — Salishan Coastal Lodge by SCP Hotels, a cherished retreat nestled where forest meets sea on Oregon’s Central Coast, is excited to celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2025. Since 1965, Salishan has embodied a uniquely Pacific Northwest ethos, where nature, wellness, and kinship converge. In celebration of this milestone, Salishan invites travelers to partake in a suite of new and thoughtfully designed experiences that reflect six decades of soulful hospitality and conscious living.
“For 60 years, Salishan has provided a sanctuary for guests seeking meaningful connection, with themselves, each other, and the Earth,” said Robert Ratchford, General Manager of Salishan Coastal Lodge by SCP Hotels. “This anniversary marks not just our history, but our future—one rooted in sustainability, holistic well-being, and the positive impact we can have through travel.”
A Celebration Rooted in Purpose
Founded by visionary Oregonian John D. Gray, Salishan Coastal Lodge was conceived in the 1960s as a nature-immersive escape that embraced the Pacific Northwest’s lush greenery and year-round beauty. To bring this vision to life, Gray enlisted architect John Storrs, a pioneer of the Northwest Modern architecture style and whose use of locally sourced woods and natural light continue to reflect a deep harmony with the surrounding landscape. Renowned landscape architect Barbara Fealy further shaped the property’s essence, crafting a setting that feels as though it emerges organically from the coastal forest.
Throughout the property, original works by Pacific Northwest artists pay homage to the region’s rich creative heritage. Notably, more than a dozen hand-carved panels and sculptures by Leroy Setziol—one of the region’s most respected wood sculptors—remain on view. These works are now joined by a new wood sculpture by his daughter, Monica Setziol-Phillips, continuing the family’s artistic legacy.
Today, Salishan stands as a celebration of the Pacific Northwest spirit and spectacular natural beauty, while serving as a beacon for regenerative travel through SCP Hotels’ “Soul Community Planet” values—prioritizing wellness, social good, and environmental stewardship. Set on 200 forested acres with sweeping views of Siletz Bay, Salishan offers a rich array of nature-forward experiences, including forested walking trails, a full-service spa, wellness programming, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Guests can enjoy an indoor pool, a racquet club, an aerial adventure park, bike skills courses, and Scottish Links-style golfing at Salishan Golf Links. At its core, the lodge is defined by thoughtful details—like an on-site herb garden used in craft cocktails, energy-efficient practices, and community-focused programming that brings together guests, the local community, and nature.

In honor of Salishan’s diamond anniversary, guests can embark on the ultimate celebration with the Legacy Retreat Package, an experience crafted for meaningful moments, restorative energy, and deep connection to the Oregon Coast.
