The Louie at Davenport Hotel: A New Chapter for Luxury in Spokane

This March, Spokane will unveil The Louie at Davenport Hotel, a stylish and intimate new addition to the city’s hotel scene. A fresh take on the former Davenport Lusso, this 48-room boutique property brings a refined edge to the heart of downtown Spokane, blending historical inspiration with modern luxury. With the introduction of Butler Service, a first for the city, The Louie offers something uniquely exclusive in Spokane’s hospitality landscape.

A fitting tribute to the hotel’s namesake, Louis “Louie” Davenport, the property is steeped in the legacy of the visionary hotelier whose influence helped shape Spokane’s iconic hotel scene in the early 20th century. His original residence, which once occupied the building that now houses The Louie, has directly inspired the hotel’s design. Louie Davenport played a key role in the development of the nearby Davenport Hotel—one of the city’s most famous landmarks—and his spirit runs through every corner of this new property.

Elegant Design Meets Homely Comfort

The Louie is designed to feel more like a private residence than a typical hotel. The interiors combine elements of warmth, comfort, and quiet elegance, reflecting Louie’s personal style and the architectural elegance of the original building. Drawing from his former apartment, the decor features a calming colour palette of peach, burgundy, olive green, gold, and lavender, creating an inviting atmosphere throughout the guest rooms and public spaces.

Walking through The Louie feels like stepping into a well-curated art gallery with a dash of old-world charm. The hotel’s collection of antiques and curios is thoughtfully scattered throughout the property, inviting guests to discover fascinating objects and stories. From botanical books and pressed flowers to vintage cooking accessories, these pieces reflect Louie Davenport’s personal passions, adding a unique and personal touch to the experience.

The hotel’s lighting plays a significant role in creating its luxurious atmosphere. A careful balance of moody and natural light casts dramatic shadows and highlights the craftsmanship of the furnishings. This, combined with the hotel’s elegant materials and finishes, ensures a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe that honours both Spokane’s heritage and modern luxury.

Personalised Service and Exclusive Touches

What sets The Louie apart is its emphasis on personalised service. The hotel introduces Butler Service, the only offering of its kind in Spokane, designed to provide an extra level of comfort and attention. Guests can enjoy tailored experiences, from arranging private excursions to ensuring your room is set up exactly as you desire. The butlers are on hand to create memorable, bespoke moments that elevate every stay.

For those who appreciate the finer details of leisure, The Louie offers a distinctive way to unwind with a bespoke cocktail hour. Guests can enjoy a bar cart with curated libations delivered directly to their room, ensuring a relaxed and intimate experience. The hotel also provides room service, offering an array of menus to complement your stay.

The Best of Both Worlds: Boutique Charm and Full-Service Amenities

While The Louie exudes the charm of a boutique hotel, it is ideally located to offer access to the full range of amenities at the nearby Davenport Hotel. Just steps away, guests can enjoy the brand-new Lobby Bar and Emporium, as well as the Palm Court Grill and Peacock Room Lounge. There’s also an award-winning spa, an indoor heated pool, a jacuzzi, and a 24-hour fitness centre—all available to guests staying at The Louie.

This fusion of personalised service, boutique luxury, and access to expansive hotel amenities means that The Louie offers the best of both worlds. Guests can enjoy the intimate comfort of a smaller property while taking full advantage of the wider facilities available at the Davenport Hotel, creating a seamless and flexible experience.

A Convenient Base for Exploring Spokane
