fter only 22 months, construction crews have transformed a parking lot across the street from the Spokane Convention Center into a sleek, 17-story hotel with luxurious rooms, trendy restaurants and bars, extensive meeting space and plenty of parking. Vision and pizazz have joined forces with high-tech, environmentally focused design and state-of-the-art meeting amenities that promise to move Spokane into competition with cities like Albuquerque, Bellevue, Tacoma, Portland, Orlando and Reno for convention business. Built by Spokane developers and hoteliers Walt and Karen Worthy, the Davenport Grand Hotel is the fourth property to join the Davenport Hotel Collection. First online was the historic 1914 Davenport Hotel, meticulously renovated to period standards and reopened in 2002. The Worthys built the 328-room Davenport Tower, then added the nearby Hotel Lusso, a boutique property with 48 rooms. The Tower’s safari theme completely deviates from the historic, European look of the other properties, and the new Grand takes a quantum leap into the 21st century in terms of décor and cutting-edge amenities. Just as the first three Davenport hotels helped revitalize Spokane’s Arts District, the Davenport Grand promises to inject energy and economic development into the convention district as thousands of visitors converge on Spokane to attend meetings and explore nearby shopping, wineries and brewpubs, while locals discover the hotel’s new wining and dining options.

Art + Design = A Fresh Vision I
t’s nearly impossible not to gasp when you walk into the lobby of the new Davenport Grand Hotel. Sparkling white marble floors and gleaming black and charcoal walls set a luxurious scene, while the giant white chandeliers floating like clouds above clusters of low-slung couches inject a playful vibe. Twin 10-foot stainless steel and aged copper water features flank the elevator hallway, and elongated chevron light sconces gleam like lightning bolts. A 12-foot, low-profile fireplace topped with a circular opening in the wall is a subtle divider between the lobby and the Grand Restaurant and Lounge. The Worthys worked closely with local architect Craig Woodard and local interior designer Eric Hedlund to create an electrifying first impression that carries on throughout the entire hotel. Hedlund describes traveling to the Hospitality Design Show in Las Vegas with the Worthys and seeing an exotically patterned, red, pink, orange, cream and black carpet designed by Stacy Garcia for Brintons Commercial Carpets, a nationally recognized leader in environmentally sustainable carpets that works with hundreds of casinos, airports, hotels and conference centers to provide products that qualify for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) status. “Walt knew the minute he saw that design that he wanted it in the Grand,” says Hedlund. They worked with Brintons to enlarge the flowers and had the sustainable wool carpet custom made in England. It set the color scheme for the entire property. “The reception area is streamlined and highly functional,” says Matt Jensen, the Davenport Collection’s Director of Sales and Marketing, adding that the pods that look like rows of broken dinosaur eggs behind the check-in desk were hand-chosen by the Worthys and are pure whimsy. With a nod to the iconic Monroe Street Bridge, Spokane artist Susan Kim created a stunning 20-foot stained glass mosaic depicting a night scene of the bridge that flanks one wall of the lobby’s Starbucks. The Spokane artist also designed and installed the stained glass ceiling in the Peacock Room Lounge at the historic Davenport Hotel. Local artists like Ben Joyce and Ed Gilmore have also contributed to the art on display. Local landmarks are again heralded in guest rooms, where prints of Riverfront Park’s Clock Tower and the Monroe Street Bridge are mounted on canvas. Originally photographs, they were colorized into black, gray and red prints and superimposed on stretched canvas.

alt and Karen Worthy readily admit that the biggest challenge in constructing the Davenport Grand was its size and scope. “It is so large and was erected so quickly, it was difficult to keep up with the construction team,” says Walt. “There were thousands of different decisions that had to be made on the fly.” One reason the 17-story Grand Hotel rose from a parking lot in an astounding 22 months is that it is constructed of precast concrete — 4,524 separate pieces weighing 16.1 million tons, to be exact. “Precast concrete slabs arrive primed and painted, with windows and air conditioning ducts already in place,” explains contractor Lou LaVé, who owns Precision Precast Erectors with his son Denny. “It’s expensive up front, but takes one-fourth the time to construct over other methods. Once you factor in the labor, the time and other issues of traditional construction, the cost evens out.” “Both union and nonunion workers were involved in the hotel’s creation, and most were local suppliers and workers,” says Worthy. While Worthy Enterprises was the general contractor for the project, more than 200 companies had a role in the Grand Hotel’s construction,
and even though the Worthys were intimately engaged in every decision, they stress the value of each company’s contribution. Walt Worthy also adds that, in his 30 years of working with the City of Spokane, it was his best experience yet in relying on the Spokane Building Department to help keep his project moving forward. ...continued on page 8
From Parking Lot to Gleaming Tower Wow, that went up quick! Seems like just yesterday you could park your car in the lot across the street from the Spokane Convention Center, but in less than two years it’s been transformed into the latest landmark on the Spokane skyline. Clint Weyrauch of Worthy Enterprises kept his camera clicking every month to document the progress, and Bruce Buck of Oldcastle Materials Group even flew over the site to capture aerial images. Here’s a quick look at the 22 months from groundbreaking to grand opening.

SEPT. 19, 2013 One of the first steps is to secure the walls of the excavated space, so soil and rock don’t rain down on workers and wreck the foundation work. Sometimes they even spray concrete to hold it all in place.

OCT. 27, 2013 When you start digging, you never know what you’ll find. Workers unearth a huge cache of old whiskey and wine bottles — perhaps used as slapdash insulation in the leaky basement of some old speakeasy.

The Next Big Thing,

alt Worthy came to Spokane from Georgia to serve in the Air Force. He met Karen, a western Washington native, who was teaching first grade. They were married 40 years ago, settled in Spokane and began building small residential and commercial projects; soon it became a thriving real estate development and construction company. Their firm built Rock Pointe, then purchased and refurbished the Wells Fargo building. They moved into hotel development in early 2000 with the renovation of the historic Davenport Hotel, followed by the Davenport Tower, which was built from the ground up in record time. In 2009, they added the Hotel Lusso to the Collection. In 1890, long before the Worthys arrived in Spokane, a young Nebraska native named Louis Davenport opened Davenport’s Famous Waffle Foundry in a tent in rough-and-tumble Spokane. The eatery was so successful, Davenport purchased a building and moved his restaurant indoors. As profits continued, he asked architect Kirtland Cutter to design a Venetian Gothic-style grand ballroom and eventually a hotel. Opening in 1914, the opulent Davenport Hotel became a national landmark. Meticulous and customer-service oriented, Louis Davenport mandated that currency be ironed and silver coins polished before giving change to guests. “Louis would be amazed at the new technology and computer systems required to operate a hotel today,” Karen says. “He would also be surprised that credit cards have replaced paper and silver currency.” The Worthys carry on Louis Davenport’s devotion to service and his hands-on approach to hotel management; in fact, together, the Worthys selected every finish in the Grand — and even put some of them together. “I came in one Saturday when there

n today’s highly competitive hospitality industry, attracting guests and meetings has more to do with the number of sleeping rooms, flexible and plentiful meeting space and connection to a convention center than it does with opulence or ironing currency. Before the Davenport Grand opened, Spokane’s DoubleTree was the only hotel with direct access to the Convention Center. Lynnelle Caudill, Managing Director of the Davenport Collection, recalls several years ago when the Worthy team was looking at options for expansion — more office space, hotels in different markets. But “everything came back to Spokane and wanting to do another hotel here,” she says. “We don’t necessarily need another leisure hotel, so we knew it needed to be convention-focused — and that means big. Walt really does enjoy the hotel business — the pace of it. And he’s not ready to retire.” Designed by Walt Worthy, who enlisted local architect Craig Woodard for collaboration, the Grand Hotel and its nearly 800 rooms now connect to the Convention Center with a new skywalk. Today, Spokane can boast a “compact package” and a total of six convention hotels, thousands of feet of meeting space, 1,100 rooms directly connected to the Convention Center and an additional 3,300 rooms within eight blocks. “The new, privately developed hotel demonstrates the strength of Spokane’s downtown, its high desirability as a convention market, and its appetite to be competitive in the meetings market,” says Cheryl Kilday, President and CEO of Visit Spokane. “We are fortunate to have a private

developer willing to build such a project and physically connect the hotel with our convention center,” Kilday adds. “The new demand generated by the hotel, in conjunction with the expansion of the convention center, should be realized within five years.” The saying “if you build it, they will come” is proving true with the addition of the Davenport Grand Hotel to the Spokane skyline. Convention groups are booked from the opening month through 2020. In August, the Adventist-Laymen’s Services and Industries International Convention will bring 3,000 people to town, followed by Worldcon, with 5,000 science fiction and fantasy fans from around the world descending on the city.

ost hotels economize with functional but boring hallways leading to meeting rooms. Not the Davenport Grand Hotel. Attendees are wowed by the elaborate, red-toned carpet imprinted with flowers the size of an automobile, red walls trimmed in white, oversized sunburst mirrors and six-foot urns. The elegantly decorated, extra-wide hallways serve as mingling and pre-function spaces and hint at what’s to come once attendees are inside the meeting rooms. “In designing the meeting spaces, we worked with Visit Spokane and their Customer Advisory Board, which is made up of about 20 meeting planners from all over the United States,” says Meg Harper, the Davenport Collection’s Director of Group Sales. “Top features they requested included a facility attached to the convention center, between 500 and 700 guest rooms under one roof, a variety of different-sized meeting rooms, mostly on one level, and a major brand affiliation.” The Grand Hotel meets and exceeds those requirements with 716 guest rooms, including 40 suites, a skywalk connecting the hotel to the Spokane Convention Center complex, 63,177
square feet of meeting space and stateof-the-art audio-visual equipment. The 18,079-square-foot Grand Ballroom can accommodate 2,500 guests and comes equipped with automated divider “airwalls” that can be electronically lowered silently from the ceiling in seconds; LED ceiling lighting can change colors on demand to match any theme.

The menu from longtime local chef Ian Wingate showcases homemade desserts and American classics. Next door, Table 13 mixes the intimacy of booths divided by floorto-ceiling walls with the conviviality of long, communal tables. Dark colors, wood accents and colorwashed metallic walls give the space a contemporary yet rustic feel. A 3,000-bottle wine cellar will complement the classic menu featuring full meals and small plates. “Our guests are going to love the variety of seating options,” says Lynnelle Caudill, Managing Director for the Davenport Collection. “We have private booths, open tables, large group
seating, seating at the bar. I love how the bar design at the Grand Lounge is very open to the hotel, while the bar at Table 13 is very private, dark and swanky — two great, but very different options.” Two private dining rooms adjacent to Table 13 are also available for corporate or family functions. The trendy, second-floor Grand Terrace Bar, with seating for 200, will be a magnet for socializing under the stars — and the perfect place to enjoy a light snack or a martini before or after a performance at the INB Center across the street. Six fire pits, sink-in-and-relax furniture, oversized flowerpots and romantic lighting give it a San Francisco ambiance and add new options for downtown al fresco drinking and dining.
IT’S A WIN-WIN. The Spokane Sports Commission sends a special shout-out to Walt and Karen Worthy and the team at The Davenport Grand. Your vision, dedication, and tireless efforts to better the Spokane region is inspiring and motivating. This new property will serve as a catalyst for the Spokane Sports Commission to continue to draw national and world-wide sports events to our region. In turn, this property, as well as others, will be buzzing with action—filled with traveling athletes and fans alike. Together, we will help our region realize the economic, social and community-building benefits of sports. In short, business wins, kids win, fans win, our region wins.

DESIRE. ABILITY.
THE FIRST-EVER NX TURBO. GO BEYOND UTILITY.
Need vs. want. Capable vs. captivating. Sensible vs. spine-tingling. Many luxury crossovers force you to choose utility over style. But when you combine a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, spacious cargo area and an available Qi1 wireless device-charging tray with a boldly sculpted body, there is no more versus. Introducing the first-ever NX Turbo, NX Turbo F SPORT and NX Hybrid. Once you go beyond utility, there’s no going back.
