Top choice in Spokane

LoginSave

This historic landmark (opened in 1914) is considered one of the best hotels in the country. Even if you're not staying here, linger in the exquisite lobby or have a drink in the Peacock Lounge. The adjacent, modern Davenport Tower sports a safari-themed lobby and bar.

Also be sure to check out the ornate Marie Antoinette Ballroom if it's not being used for an event. The winner of copious awards, this AAA four-diamond beauty was constructed in 1914 to the design of talented local architect Kirtland Cutter.
