This March, Spokane Welcomes the Louie at Davenport Hotel, Setting a New Standard for Luxury Hospitality in the Captivating Washington City

Spokane, Washington (January 13, 2025) – This March, Davenport Hotels will debut The Louie at Davenport Hotel, set to be Spokane’s newest luxury accommodations complete with Butler Service, a first for the city. The new, 48-key boutique property marks a departure from the former Davenport Lusso hotel, which underwent a multi-million-dollar rebrand and name change. The Louie will honor the legacy of Louis “Louie” Davenport, the visionary hotelier whose influence shaped Spokane’s iconic hotel scene in the early 20th century. The hotel’s design draws inspiration from the residence of Louis Davenport, who resided in the original building while overseeing the construction of the legendary Davenport Hotel, located just across the street. 

“We thoughtfully designed The Louie to feel like quaint and elegant residences offering bespoke luxury, charm and a home-like hideaway in the middle of our great city,” says Melissa Green, Vice President & Area Managing Director for the Davenport Hotels. “The result is a space that honors the past while moving confidently into the future.” 

Drawing touches from the original aesthetic of Louie’s storied apartment, the interiors of The Louie’s mix of guestrooms and suites are curated to evoke warmth and quiet elegance, with a color palette of peach, burgundy, olive green, gold, and lavender. Louie Davenport’s presence can be found throughout the hotel. With an art gallery-meets-library feel, the hotel is a personal invitation for guests to uncover antiques and artifacts peppered throughout the property – from botanical books to pressed flowers and vintage cooking accessories – each celebrating Louie’s interests and wonder that gave him such joy in his down time. 

Lighting plays a key role in creating a luxurious ambiance, using a mix of moody and natural light to cast dramatic shadows and highlight the beauty of the hotel’s furnishings and finishes. The guestrooms and public spaces blend intimate sophistication with laid-back luxury, featuring thoughtfully curated materials and artistic details that tell the story of Spokane’s heritage while providing a modern, serene escape.  

Paired with The Louie’s sophisticated atmosphere, the hotel will feature personalized moments, including Butler Service – the only offering of this kind in Spokane. Guests looking to unwind with an evening cocktail hour will have access to a bespoke bar cart with curated libations, in addition to room service menus. For more dining and leisure experiences, The Louie is just steps away from the Davenport Hotel which features a brand-new Lobby Bar and Emporium, in addition to the Palm Court Grill and Peacock Room Lounge, an award-winning spa, indoor heated pool and jacuzzi, and 24-hour fitness center. The Louie provides convenient access to all the amenities of a full-service hotel with the comfort and quiet charm of a private residence. 

Set in the heart of walkable downtown Spokane, The Louie is the ideal home base for exploring the city’s vibrant culinary scene, eclectic neighborhoods, scenic nature and cultural offerings, from the winery district and America’s largest urban waterfall to the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture to the riverfront Centennial Trail.
