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.

Great old hotel. Views are amazing. Staff was friendly. Note that the elevator is 100 years old and has to be operated by staff.

Celebrating our anniversary at a new location to us. We were pleased with the beautiful setting in the Columbia River Gorge. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The meals we ordered were good. Breakfast in the dining room was excellent and the view even better!

This is our second time at Columbia Gorge. The hotel is emaculately decorated in the 1920''s theme and has great service and a wonderful bar and restaurant with great drinks and an eclectic menu that is truely excellent. All this and a great garden, waterfall and magnificent view of the Columbia River. Our only improvement is to book the River view and not the garden view the next time.

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.
