The Davenport Grand is the contemporary counterpart to the historic Davenport, built to serve travelers who want a modern hotel in the heart of downtown. It stands next to the convention center and overlooks the Spokane River, so many rooms offer views of the water, the skyline or the surrounding hills. The design leans sleek and comfortable, with clean lines, updated bathrooms and the sort of amenities that business and leisure travelers expect from a full-service property. It works well as a base for those attending events and for visitors who prefer a newer building over a historic one. The location puts you close to the Riverfront Park footbridges and the falls, and you can walk to restaurants, shops and the Centennial Trail without needing a car. Staff members can arrange tours, dining and transportation, and public spaces such as a lobby bar and restaurant make it easy to relax after a long day.
Compare it carefully with its older sibling. Both are part of the same hospitality family, but the Grand offers modern rooms and a convention-center location, while the historic hotel offers grandeur and heritage. The Grand is often the more practical choice for conference travelers, groups and anyone who wants reliable modern comfort with river views. Families may like the extra space and straightforward layouts.
Ask for an upper floor and a river-facing room if views matter to you, and check whether breakfast, parking and resort fees apply. Rates fluctuate with conference calendars, so midweek stays can be pricey during major events and bargains during quiet periods. The hotel's walkability is a real plus: Riverfront Park, the falls and downtown dining all sit within a short stroll.
In winter, the river view and cozy interiors make it a pleasant retreat; in summer, evening walks along the water are a highlight. If you value comfort, location and modern amenities, the Davenport Grand is a safe and pleasant choice.
Business travelers will appreciate the proximity to meeting rooms and the convention center, which can save time in bad weather, while leisure guests can use the same location for a quick walk to the park. In winter, a skywalk or short covered route may help, but check the layout of the property and the surrounding blocks when you arrive. Think about dining too: the hotel's own restaurant and bar are handy after a long day, and the downtown core has a growing number of independent restaurants and breweries a few minutes away on foot.
If you are driving, ask about overnight parking rates and clearance, as costs and height limits can differ. Finally, a late checkout or early check-in request is worth making politely when the hotel is not at capacity.
