Otis Hotel

The Otis Hotel is a historic five-story building in Spokane, Washington. It was designed by Arthur W. Cowley and Archibald G. Rigg, and built in 1911 for Dr. Joseph E. Gandy.[2] It was first known as the Willard Hotel, and later as the Atlantic Hotel, followed by the Earle Hotel, and finally the Otis Hotel.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 2, 1998.[1] The building is also listed as a contributing property to the NRHP's West Downtown Historic Transportation Corridor. After the completion of a $15 million renovation to convert the building from low income apartments back into a hotel in early 2020, the building was reopened as the Hotel Indigo Spokane and is part of the InterContinental Hotels Group.[3][4]
