Balch Hotel

A classic hotel right out of the great Gatsby. Accommodations were interesting because they were genuine and true to that time. But it is elegant and luxurious in a charming old school way. I highly recommend it!

Very clean! Great breakfast! Staff was helpful for our late check in. Thank you!

Very nice stay.

What a gem! This vintage hotel is well cared for and felt modern, while it is filled with antiques and memorabilia. It is clean and the amenities are well-thought-out. The food at the restaurant was fabulous as was the service. And the outdoor patio dining with live music at a volume that you could still carry on a conversation was thoroughly enjoyable. The family, owners and caretakers at this hotel, were the kindest, most generous people I’ve ever met. We truly enjoyed spending time with them. We were able to explore Mount Hood and the surrounding orchards and vineyards. The surrounding areas, including the Columbia Gorge, are stunning making a road tour in the area an absolute must. We were there during moderate outdoor temperatures and the rooms were perfect, but I do suspect that during the winter it could be a little chilly, as it does have the original windows. This would not deter me from staying there. I understand they have special decorations for the holidays and we are already looking at dates to go back. Highly recommend this place.
