Overview
The Davenport Hotel Collection is an upscale hotel group based in downtown Spokane, Washington. Its identity is rooted in the restoration and reopening of the historic Davenport Hotel in 2002, a project associated with Spokane developer Walt Worthy. What began as a single landmark property developed into a multi-property hospitality collection in which individually themed hotels are marketed under a common Davenport name. The collection's principal properties are The Historic Davenport Hotel, The Davenport Tower, The Davenport Lusso, and The Davenport Grand. The Historic Davenport is the heritage centerpiece, occupying the restored landmark hotel and offering 284 guest rooms together with a spa, fitness facilities, and an indoor pool. The Davenport Tower, opened in 2007 across the street from the original hotel, expanded the brand with a 328-room, 21-floor building whose design and guest experience use a safari-inspired theme. The Davenport Lusso joined the group after Worthy acquired the boutique Hotel Lusso in 2009. The property originated in 1998 through the combination and renovation of two historic buildings and has 48 rooms and a pub. The Davenport Grand opened in 2015 opposite the Spokane Convention Center. With 716 rooms, convention-oriented facilities, dining venues, a fitness center, and a rooftop or terrace whiskey bar overlooking Riverfront Park, it became the largest hotel in Spokane by room count. The brand architecture changed as the portfolio expanded. The 2007 tower initially operated as part of the historic hotel, prompting the name The Davenport Hotel and Tower. Following the 2009 acquisition of Hotel Lusso, the business was reorganized as The Davenport Hotel Collection, with the historic hotel, tower, and Lusso marketed as distinct properties under one umbrella. The Grand later added a larger contemporary and convention-focused component to the portfolio. From 2014, the hotels became affiliated with Marriott's Autograph Collection, linking the locally identified Davenport properties with an international soft-brand distribution system while retaining their individual names and character. The ownership story also evolved. In 2018, the ownership group acquired the 401-room Hotel Red Lion at the Park from Red Lion Hotels Corporation. That property was subsequently given independent branding as the Centennial Hotel Spokane, so it should not be treated as one of the four core Davenport-branded hotels. In January 2022, the Worthy family sold the hotel group, reported at approximately five hotels at the transaction level, to private-equity firm KSL Capital Partners. Davidson Hospitality Group became the operating company. The collection therefore combines a locally significant historic hotel identity, individually designed upscale properties, and the operating and ownership resources of larger hospitality organizations.
History
The history of The Davenport Hotel Collection begins with the Davenport Hotel, a historic Spokane property whose restoration and reopening in 2002 supplied the brand with its name, heritage, and central identity. At that stage, the business was essentially a single hotel rather than a collection. The restored property became the group's landmark asset and remains known as The Historic Davenport Hotel. Its facilities include 284 guest rooms, a spa, a gym, and an indoor pool. The first major expansion came in January 2007, when Walt Worthy opened a new hotel tower directly across the street from the historic building. The 21-floor Davenport Tower contained 328 guest rooms and was designed with a separate architectural character and safari-inspired theme. Although it was a distinct building, it initially operated as part of the historic hotel. The combined presentation was reflected in the temporary name The Davenport Hotel and Tower. The tower broadened the business beyond a single heritage property while retaining the original hotel as its anchor. In 2009, Worthy acquired Hotel Lusso, a boutique hotel also located across the street from the historic Davenport. Hotel Lusso had opened in 1998 after two historic buildings were acquired, combined, and renovated. Once it joined the portfolio, the business was reorganized into its present collection structure. The original hotel became The Historic Davenport Hotel, the tower became The Davenport Tower, and Hotel Lusso was renamed The Davenport Lusso. This arrangement allowed the properties to be marketed separately according to their different designs and scales while using the Davenport name as a unifying brand. A further expansion began in 2013 with construction of The Davenport Grand on land originally reserved for a convention-center expansion. The site was sold to the Worthys for $6.67 million. Construction produced a tall, narrow hotel opposite the Spokane Convention Center, with a skywalk connection completed as part of the project. The hotel opened in 2015 and became the largest hotel in Spokane by number of rooms. Its 716 rooms, two restaurants, gym, and terrace whiskey bar overlooking Riverfront Park gave the collection a substantial convention and business-travel offering alongside its historic and boutique hotels. The portfolio also developed a connection to Marriott. Beginning in 2014, the Davenport hotels became affiliated with Marriott's Autograph Collection Hotels, a soft-brand platform that supports individually designed properties. This affiliation preserved the distinct names and local character of the Spokane hotels while connecting them with a broader international hotel distribution network. In July 2018, the ownership group acquired the 401-room Hotel Red Lion at the Park from Red Lion Hotels Corporation. Although the acquisition expanded the wider Spokane hotel portfolio to five properties, the hotel was given independent branding as Centennial Hotel Spokane and was not simply presented as another Davenport-branded property. The distinction is important because the core Davenport collection is generally described as four hotels: The Historic Davenport Hotel, The Davenport Tower, The Davenport Lusso, and The Davenport Grand. The next major transition was ownership. In January 2022, the Worthy family sold the hotel group to KSL Capital Partners, a private-equity firm focused on travel and leisure businesses. Davidson Hospitality Group became the operating company. The transaction marked a shift from local family ownership to institutional ownership and third-party hospitality management, while the collection continued to operate around its Spokane-centered portfolio and its four established Davenport identities.
