Spokane, Washington

A gorgeous city with a wild river raging right through its massive Riverfront Park, where gondolas offer great waterfall views and walking paths connect you to fine arts venues and restaurants, Spokane is as much outdoorsy vacation destination as it is tastefully urban. And it’s well worth complementing these amazing surroundings with a great Spokane travel apartment.  

Offering more than a Spokane hotel room, you’ll find the ultimate home base at one of our upscale Stay Alfred travel apartments, featuring chic, resort-style amenities to rest and revel in with the best of the Lilac City’s arts, nightlife and nature right outside your door.

A beautiful small city jam-packed with big-city arts and entertainment, with a giant park and series of gorgeous waterfalls roaring through, Spokane offers the best of both worlds for vacationers that value both culture and nature. Unlike other rainy Pacific Northwest cities, Spokane (which means Children of the Sun in Salish) gets 170 days of sun annually, great for lazy afternoons in Riverfront Park and quick escapes to surrounding mountains and lakes.  

From the Native American exhibits at its Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, to Spokane Symphony performances at Fox Theater, the Lilac City is sure to please.  Whether you fancy a gondola ride over raging waterfalls, or wine and beer tasting tour in Spokane’s Cork District and the Inland Northwest Ale Trail, this jewel of the Inland Empire has it all.  

Downtown Neighborhood

Downtown Spokane’s vibrant arts scene boasts big city talent in a very walkable small-city neighborhood. Enjoy the Spokane Symphony at nearby Fox Theater or take in an evening jazz or ballet performance at Bing Crosby Theater even closer. (Yep, Bing was a Spokanite.) Spokane’s INB Performing Arts Center hosts frequent touring Broadway shows and musical performances, and is right on the river for romantic strolls during intermission. Spokane lets you dance to a bands (and enjoy a fantastic dinner) at Spokane’s infamous Knitting Factory, and nearby Spokane Arena is great for catching nationally-renowned bands. Spokane’s gorgeous Riverfront Park features great outdoor performances. 

Downtown Spokane also features numerous pubs with great bands, and even the occasional busker killing it on the saxophone streetside– all amidst a fetching backdrop of eye-catching historic architecture. The fun continues with Spokane’s Cork District and Inland Northwest Ale Trail, a great way to sample Spokane’s local brews and wines. 

All cultured/partied out and up for some nature? Pacific Northwesterners go big when it comes to green spaces, and you won’t find one with wilder waters than Spokane’s Riverfront Park. Gondola cars and footbridges are a fantastic way to gaze upon the Spokane River’s mighty waterfalls. The park also offers miles of biking and jogging paths–that connect you to single track in one direction and rock climbing in the other).  We love our Spokane, and could we could go on…
