Whitney Peak Hotel Reno, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
Mountain-base stay with a climbing wall, no casino floor
Reno, Reno
About this stay
Whitney Peak sits at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains next to the Arch in central Reno, a rare non-smoking, non-gaming property among the city's downtown hotels, with 310 guestrooms and 19 suites. Each upscale, air-conditioned room includes free WiFi, a flat-screen TV, a coffee machine and an en suite bathroom with free toiletries. The fitness centre includes a genuine climbing wall, unusual even by Reno's outdoor-forward standards, and 11 meeting rooms cover business events. The Reno Amtrak Station is a 2-minute walk, with the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts and National Automobile Museum both 400 metres out, and Lake Tahoe 60 km away. Pets are allowed (the non-gaming setup keeps the property quiet at night, a rarity two blocks from the casino strip).
- Non-smoking, non-gaming hotel
- Climbing wall
- Near Amtrak station
- Mountain-base location
Our take
This suits travelers who want downtown Reno's walkability without the casino noise, plus climbers and pet owners drawn to the on-site wall and pet-friendly policy. The Amtrak proximity works well for a car-free trip. Anyone specifically chasing the casino-floor energy of J Resort or the Sands should book those properties instead, since Whitney Peak deliberately opts out of gaming.
- Book a climbing session at the fitness centre wall ahead of time, it is popular with locals too.
- Use the Reno Amtrak Station 2 minutes away if arriving by train instead of flying.
- Walk to the National Automobile Museum and Pioneer Center together, both sit 400 metres from the lobby.
Why we love it
- Climbing wall in the fitness centre
- Non-gaming, quiet at night
- 2-minute walk to Reno Amtrak Station
- Pet-friendly upscale rooms
Why guests love itWhitney Peak Hotel Reno is a non-smoking, non-gaming hotel, which is rare in downtown Reno and the main reason I suggest it to families. The climbing wall gives older children a real activity on site, and pets are allowed. The Reno Amtrak Station is a 2-minute walk away, handy if you arrive by train. With an 8.6 score from 400 reviews, it is a solid alternative to the casino hotels around it.
