If you’re anything like me, you’ve been keeping a close eye on the space where the Hotel Lusso used to be—waiting, watching, and wondering what would take its place. Now, the wait is over. The Louie has officially opened in Spokane, and it’s nothing short of a transformation. This brand-new boutique hotel pays elegant tribute to Louis Davenport himself, the iconic namesake of the Davenport Hotel, and it does so with remarkable style and intention.

Every detail inside The Louie has been thoughtfully curated. The interiors were reimagined by Harken Interiors, a Chicago-based design firm that specializes in high-end hospitality spaces. Their vision comes to life through rich, moody color palettes—warm slate blues, deep herbal greens, and natural wood tones—that manage to feel both cozy and fresh. Even the carpets pay homage to Louis Davenport, with his signature “L” subtly woven into the design. The result is a space that feels more like a luxe apartment building than a hotel, with local art, fireplaces, a billiards room, and gorgeously appointed common areas. If you’ve got guests coming into town with sky-high standards, this is going to be your new go-to recommendation.

A Boutique Hotel with History and Soul

Located in the restored Miller Building, The Louie is one of the most distinctive places to stay in Spokane. Originally built in 1890 and once home to Louis Davenport and his wife during the construction of the iconic Davenport Hotel, the building has been thoughtfully renovated to maintain its Romanesque architectural beauty while introducing modern luxury and comfort.

With just 48 single-king rooms, The Louie offers an intimate boutique hotel experience that feels exclusive, quiet, and design-forward. Expect curated interiors that blend soft textures, gold accents, high ceilings, and rich Spokane history at every turn.

Spokane’s Only Hotel with 24/7 Butler Service

What truly sets The Louie apart from other downtown Spokane hotels is its dedicated butler service—the only one of its kind in the city.

From the moment you arrive, a personal butler greets you with a glass of champagne and remains on call throughout your stay. Whether it’s arranging bar cart service in the cozy lobby, setting up an in-room dinner with flowers for a special occasion, or offering tailored local recommendations, the butler service at The Louie delivers next-level hospitality.

Unlike a traditional hotel concierge, The Louie’s butlers are proactive and personalized, anticipating needs and ensuring each guest enjoys a seamless, elevated stay.

Need assistance? The service is available 24 hours a day and can be accessed directly through the front desk or butler team.
