Best Spa and Wellness Hotels in Spokane
Spa and wellness hotels in Spokane are a loose category: 28 properties in this guide offer some form of wellness, but only a few have treatment rooms. The Davenport Hotel has a spa and salon downtown, Oxford Suites Spokane Downtown has a spa and wellness centre, and most others rely on indoor pools, hot tubs and fitness centres. Wellness here usually means a swim, a soak and a river walk, so choose by what you will actually use (confirm treatment menus and booking rules before you arrive). Booking ahead keeps treatment slots open for weekends.
Spokane gives wellness a natural setting: the Centennial Trail runs along the river, Riverfront Park has long loops, and Manito Park offers gardens on the South Hill. The city is compact enough to walk after a spa day, and the air is dry and clear most of the year, though late summer can bring wildfire smoke (check air quality before outdoor plans).
Where to stay
Where wellness in Spokane really lives
The honest spa picture in Spokane is simple: two hotels with spa services, and many with pools and hot tubs. Wellness here usually means a swim, a soak and a walk along the river, plus a gym session when the weather turns. Choose by what you will actually use, a massage appointment or a 24-hour fitness centre (book treatments before you travel, because weekend slots fill).
The Davenport Hotel, Autograph Collection is the true spa address: the Davenport Spa and Salon is available for guest relaxation, three restaurants serve meals on site, and a tennis court and bicycle rental widen the options. Rooms have downtown views, and Riverfront Park is 5 minutes by car, so a spa afternoon can end with a walk by the falls. It suits a couples' weekend or a solo recharge (pets are allowed, and booking treatments in advance is wise). Evening treatments leave time for a walk to Riverfront Park before dinner, and the downtown views help the stay feel slower than the usual city break.
Oxford Suites Spokane Downtown has a spa and wellness centre, with suites that include a fridge, microwave and coffee machine, a sun terrace and a free daily airport transfer. It sits 400 metres from Spokane Centre and 1 km from Gonzaga University, so a quiet walk is easy. For a longer stay on a lighter budget, it balances comfort and cost, and pets are allowed (confirm wellness centre opening hours when you arrive). The free airport transfer helps guests who arrive tired from a flight and want to reach the wellness centre quickly without handling a rental car.
Pool-and-hot-tub hotels cover the middle ground. The Davenport Tower offers an indoor pool, hot tub and a 24-hour fitness centre with complimentary towels and fresh fruit. Quality Inn Oakwood keeps its indoor pool and hot tub open 24 hours, and Hampton Inn & Suites Downtown-South pairs a pool and hot tub with a highly rated breakfast and a fitness centre. These work for travelers who want recovery time without a spa budget (parking is free at the Hampton). Towels and fresh fruit at the Tower's fitness centre, plus the quiet corridors of the north-side hotel, make solo recovery easy during a work trip.
Active wellness fits the city too. Hampton Inn Spokane Airport, MainStay Suites and Sleep Inn combine a gym, an indoor pool and a hot tub, and The Louie offers free bicycles for river rides. The Finch Arboretum near Hampton Inn Spokane Airport is within one mile for a quiet walk, and the Centennial Trail suits longer runs along the Spokane River, which stays flat for easy mornings (carry water in summer and start before the heat). Evenings can end in an indoor pool or a hot tub at most of these hotels, so even a short stay includes a proper cool-down after a long run.
A traveler's perspectiveI recommend the historic Davenport Hotel for a wellness weekend in Spokane, because its spa and salon is on site and three restaurants mean no driving after a treatment. If a swim matters more to me than a massage, I would pick The Davenport Tower instead, with its indoor pool and hot tub, eight minutes on foot from Riverfront Park and the falls of the Spokane River.

Free bikes in season, 800 metres from the Amtrak station
Check availabilityWhy guests love itRail travelers get the most from this address: the Amtrak station is within 800 metres, so luggage stays on a short walk. A free bicycle in season turns Riverfront Park into a ride, and two free breakfasts a day at Rosie's Restaurant simplify the mornings. Rooms have a fridge and microwave for snacks. The fitness center is off-site, so energetic guests should plan a run along the river instead.
Local tips
- 1Book Davenport Spa and Salon treatments before you arrive, because weekend appointments fill earlier than room availability suggests.
- 2Ask Oxford Suites Spokane Downtown about its spa and wellness centre hours, then plan around the free daily airport transfer if you fly.
- 3Use the 24-hour fitness centre at The Davenport Tower early or late, and add the indoor pool and hot tub afterwards.
- 4Walk the Centennial Trail in the morning, since the path along the Spokane River is flat and suits easy runs and recovery walks.
- 5Choose Quality Inn Oakwood for a budget soak, because its indoor heated pool and hot tub stay open 24 hours.
- 6Check air quality in late summer, since wildfire smoke can limit outdoor exercise and make an indoor pool the better option.
