The Davenport Hotel
The Davenport is notable as the only AAA 4-diamond hotel in Spokane; it has also been awarded a place on Conde Nast Traveler's Golf List multiple times. The hotel has a long-standing commitment to environmentally friendly practices, dating back to the conservative efforts of Louis Davenport who founded the hotel in 1914. Water and energy conservation, waste reduction and comprehensive recycling programs are all part of this "green" commitment.
The Davenport's commitment to the environment does not by any means involve cutting corners on luxurious guest services and amenities. All rooms have 27- or 32-inch flat-screen televisions, custom and hand-crafted furnishings and marble bathrooms. Guests enjoy complimentary wireless Internet access, local telephone calls and town car service within 2 miles.
