“The boutique Lightwell Hotel & Spa offers well-appointed rooms and panoramic Gorge views along with an on-site Mediterranean restaurant, Hood River’s first rooftop bar and a luxurious spa.”

“It’s a boutique hotel, but it’s also a historic hotel,” said developer Carrington “Ceb” Barrs. “We’re blending modern comfort and features in the rooms with significant historic nods throughout the public spaces—while keeping the exterior as historically accurate as possible.”

“For the first time in a century, downtown Hood River has a full service hotel again.⁠ The central architectural feature—and namesake—of the project is a four‑story light well, formed in 1910 as an L‑shaped annex. ⁠Fully uncovered and restored, it brings natural sunlight streaming in from a glass ceiling to both the restaurant and the guest rooms that surround it.”

“If you’re an outdoors junkie or a PNW aficionado, then Hood River and the Columbia River Gorge are on your radar—and a hotel of this level has never really existed here. Thanks to a group of local outdoors lovers, this once-abandoned building is entering an exciting new chapter.”
