History

It was in the year 1888 that Mt. Hood Hotel was built, and an annex was constructed in 1912, bringing into the world the bones of what would become Hood River Hotel. In the following decades, the main lobby was moved into the more modern annex and the original hotel building was torn down. After a brief closure starting in the 1960s, the hotel was refurbished and reopened in the late 1980s. In the year 2017, the current ownership took over operations.

The perfect place for our vintage-inspired, fall wedding!

The Emerald Room at the Hood River Hotel was the perfect venue for our 1920s speakeasy-themed wedding in fall! The space itself was wonderful—from the dim lighting to the beautiful emerald green chairs that perfectly matched our theme. While we brought in additional decor from an amazing rental vendor, the room’s inherent charm made it easy to create the atmosphere we envisioned.

Baylee and her team were incredibly thorough, accommodating, and quick to respond to any questions or changes throughout the planning process. From executing a seamless room flip, to crafting signature cocktails for us, their friendly staff made everything feel as effortless as possible.

Our guests not only loved the ceremony and reception space but also raved about staying in the vintage hotel and exploring the beautiful downtown Hood River that surrounds it. The entire hotel served as the perfect backdrop for our wedding portraits, with its historic character adding so much charm to every shot.

We’ve always loved this hotel—there’s nowhere else in town quite like it. It perfectly combines elegance with a cozy, grounded vibe that captures how magical the PNW can be. We also celebrated our engagement here and fondly remember the warm welcome of Saturday jazz nights by the fire in the lobby. It truly feels like stepping back into another time, in the best ways!

Hood River Hotel made our wedding truly unforgettable. We can’t recommend it highly enough—whether for a stay, a wedding, or both!
