The Jesse Hotel & Bar
Boutique city-centre stay with a romantic restaurant
Reno, Reno
About this stay
The Jesse sits in Reno's city centre, a 4-minute walk from the National Bowling Stadium and under a kilometre from Wingfield Park Amphitheater, with air-conditioned rooms that include city views, a work desk and free WiFi. The restaurant serves Mexican cuisine with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, framed as a modern, romantic space rather than a standard hotel dining room most downtown chains offer instead. A terrace and bar cover the evening, and bathrobes plus streaming services add a boutique touch missing from the bigger downtown chains nearby. Pets are allowed, and the smaller room count keeps the property feeling more personal than a large casino tower a few blocks over. Reno-Tahoe International Airport is a 5 km drive (the city-centre address means most downtown venues stay within easy walking distance of the front door).

- City-view rooms
Our take
This suits couples wanting a boutique, romantic base with a genuinely good restaurant on site, plus pet owners who want a smaller property over a big chain. The city views and terrace add real character. Larger families needing a pool or a kids' buffet should book a bigger downtown hotel instead, since The Jesse leans intimate rather than family-resort.
- Book the restaurant a day ahead for dinner, the dietary-flexible menu draws a local crowd too.
- Request a city-view room specifically, standard rooms face the courtyard instead.
- Walk to Wingfield Park Amphitheater for evening events, it is under a kilometre away.
Why we love it
- Romantic on-site restaurant with dietary options

Why guests love itThe Jesse is a boutique hotel with a romantic on-site restaurant, so I see it more as a couples' address than a family one. Families who still choose it get city-view rooms, a pet-friendly policy for the family dog, and a central location a 4-minute walk from the National Bowling Stadium. The airport is 5 km away. With an 8.0 rating from 65 reviews, I would suggest it to parents travelling with older children who enjoy a boutique setting.
