About the Hotel
On a bluff overlooking the Columbia River sits Oregon(TM)s most exclusive Inn, the Columbia Gorge Hotel. Built in 1904 as the Wah Gwin Gwin Hotel (Native American for "rushing water" for the 208' waterfall on the grounds), the Columbia Gorge was painstakingly restored to its former level of grandeur in the early 1980(TM)s. Today, guests of the Columbia Gorge can delight in the breathtaking beauty of the river and surrounding landscape, while relaxing in the gracious comforts of an elegant and inviting hotel.

Reviews for Columbia Gorge Hotel
Restored to original glory
This was our 3rd stay over the past 5 years or so. The remodel is excellent. I am so happy the original charm and history was preserved while upscaling and renewing. I enjoyed opening the window in the room. The bar made me feel like I want back in time and the piano player was fun. My taste prefers a simple piano and singer instead of the recorded accompaniment. The grounds are stunning and peaceful. I walked with my dogs in the evening trying not to disturb the sleeping ducks.

A Scenic, Comfortable and Historic Place to Stay!
My husband had stayed at the Columbia Gorge Hotel around 30 years ago on business trips, so we thought we'd try it out on this trip while my sister was visiting from Virginia. What a wonderful stay! The hotel is over a hundred years old and has been beautifully kept in excellent shape. My sister had a river view room and my husband and I stayed on the garden side. Both rooms were comfortable and very well maintained. We ate dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and the meals were excellent. We really enjoyed our stay and will, without a doubt, stay at the Columbia Gorge Hotel again on future trips!

A Royal Experience!
Vijay, Hasmita, Eileen, Marissa, Michel, Alp, Sandra, & Brenda served (directly & indirectly) brought joyb& honor to my client & I while we visited the beautiful Columbia Gorge this weekend! Each one played their part in the feeling of being actual royalty the minute you walk into this historical hotel. I’m dressed in walking clothes and a cap but I can almost feel the velvet cape and crown each time I step in as they welcome us into their “palace”!

The autumn colors are fantastic!
Beautiful setting and grounds. The restaurant and lounge are quite comfortable and the food is very good. The hotel is stately and classic. A beautiful drive from Portland and easy access to Hood River and the surrounding orchards, vineyards and wineries. The autumn colors in the area are breathtaking.

Explore Hood River then settle in for some comfort, outstanding views and atmosphere..
Wonderful visit as always. We try to come at least once a year and always look forward to an entertaining evening with Ted Horwitz in the Valentino lounge on Fridays and Saturdays. Improvements are noticeable and appreciated. If you want to step back in time this is the place.

I purchased a package at the Columbia Gorge Hotel, Hood River, OR. We live only 70 miles from this venue, but we were surprised at how little we knew about the area. The room, meals and other amenities were outstanding. The Hotel staff was very friendly, helpful and they went out of their way to fulfill our every need. This made a very wonderful 46th wedding anniversary.

My husband and I stayed at the Columbia Gorge Hotel last October. We thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality of the hotel, including the wonderful dinner along with the bountiful breakfast each morning that was also included. The spa package was also quite a treat.
