The Marcus Whitman Hotel in Walla Walla

We stayed at the Marcus Whitman Hotel during our last visit to Walla Walla. We were really pleased with our stay at the Marcus Whitman Hotel. The hotel is centrally located downtown, so we were able to walk practically everywhere!

The Marcus Whitman Hotel was constructed in 1928 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The hotel has housed famous celebrities such as actress Shirley Temple, musician Louis Armstrong, and President Dwight D. Eisenhower. (To name just a few!)

The Marcus Whitman Hotel has also received numerous accolades, including the 2015 Hotel of the Year Award from the Annual Washington State Wine Awards. It’s also the tallest building in Walla Walla.

When making a reservation, we recommend booking a room in “the tower” portion of the hotel, as opposed to the newer wing of the hotel. We’ve stayed in both parts of the hotel, and we greatly preferred staying in the historic tower.
