About the Hotel
On a bluff overlooking the Columbia River sits Oregonâ€(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 1980â€(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
Top floor or not at all.
Charming historic hotel located on the Columbia River. Friendly and helpful staff. In the future, we'd only stay on a top floor room or not at all. On this trip we were in a room below a noisy and discourteous guest. The ceilings/floors are very old and do not dampen noise.

25 years after we were married at the Columbia Gorge Hotel!
A lovely historic hotel in a spectacular setting! We enjoyed the ambiance and character. Our room and accommodations were quite comfortable.

Overall Beautiful Hotel and Great Experience
We always enjoy visiting the Columbia Gorge Hotel. It has beautiful history, but all the rooms are updated with comfortable beds and amenities like small refrigerator, usb plugins and hair dryer. The grounds are very nice to stroll through, very peaceful and the restaurant serves delicious food.

Timeless beauty.
Probably 30 years since the last time we stayed at the Columbia Gorge Hotel. Better than I remembered. It was nicely decorated for Christmas. It was rainy, but that just made the waterfall, Wah Gwin Gwin, and the other falls in the gorge more spectacular. Our corner room #203 had two windows, one west facing, the other north, both with nice views. We were directly above the lounge which was filled with people and live music which ended at 9:50 and was quiet by 10:00. Refrigerator, but no coffee maker or microwave in the room. Not needed, as there is good strong coffee and a microwave in the lobby. Won't wait another 30 years to go back.

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.
