Royal Treatment at the Geiser Grand Hotel

The Geiser Grand Hotel in Baker, Oregon is the perfect hotel for the weary traveler that is looking for a warm, inviting and comfortable place to rest their head. This historic hotel first opened its doors in 1889 and included a saloon and an onsite restaurant. Today, both are still being used by guests of the hotel and the local residents. Built during the gold mining boom in Eastern Oregon, the Sunset Magazine still claims that the Geiser Grand is “the finest hotel between Salt Lake and Seattle.”

In 1993, the Geiser Grand Hotel underwent extensive renovations costing over seven million dollars and five years. The exterior of the building was renovated to look exactly like it did in 1889 including a signature cupola clock tower that rises 110′ and is capped by a pitched verdigris roof. The Grand Geiser Hotel was the first hotel in the state of Oregon to have electric lightening installed, which in its time was quite the amenity. Today, all of the old lightening has been replaced, but the hotel now has over a hundred crystal chandeliers to illuminate the extraordinary historic interior of this grand hotel. Also, for all you history buffs, an interesting fact is that the Geiser Grand Hotel boasted the third elevator west of the Mississippi.

The Geiser Grand Hotel has four types of rooms to accommodate every budget and taste.

The Deluxe Room has one bed and sleeps up to two guests. Expect to spend at least $79 for a night in this handsome room that has gilt mirrors, silk damask, and fourteen foot vaulted ceilings with crystal chandeliers.

The hotel’s Cupola Suite is a home away from home.
