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.

I love this hotel. Peaceful and staff was GREAT! The history of the hotel and the older look with original style was so beautiful and also the outdoor area so calming.

The property is breathtaking and views of the gorge are so amazing. It has a very peaceful feeling in all of the common space. we had dinner in Simon’s, which is the fine dining restaurant with a great view of the water. The portions were large and we shared everything. It was very good. The rooms are appointed so lovely. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique lodging experience. I plan to go back as often as possible as I don’t live too far away.

Room was ok, bathroom door did not close well you had to use a slide lock to even get door to stay closed. The door has settled and did not work well at all. There is no where to get ice finely after 10 pm a guy was walking around and said he had to go back to kitchen to get some. The Air filter on the P Tac AC was 100% plugged I had to clean air filter. You are doubling your power bill by not keeping them clean, it takes less then 2 minutes to clean them should be done at least once a month . I would recommend having them serviced you could double there life span. The grounds were great and the wedding was wonderful. Call if you have any questions on the AC unit 503 351-3658

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.
