Saving the shuttered Davenport was a noble undertaking, resulting in the most remarkable restoration in Western America.
When people in Spokane say "I'll meet you at the fireplace," they mean the one at the Davenport Hotel in the heart of the city. Lit by hotelier Louis Davenport in 1914 when the hotel first opened, the fireplace had been constantly kept burning until the hotel closed in 1985.
In 2002, present-day owners Walt and Karen Worthy reopened the hotel and re-lit the fireplace as a tribute to Louis Davenport's standards of hospitality. A romance story from the start, Walt and Karen dated at the Davenport Hotel in 1970. Never did they dream they would one day buy it, restore it, and operate it. It is their only hotel, and it is luxurious. So much so that it was selected by Conde Nast as a "Top 100" and "Gold List" hotel.
We use the Davenport as our base to explore Eastern Washington -- and never fail to stop in at Arbor Crest Winery the wines and the views are spectacular.
