Description:
The Davenport Hotel is a grand hotel of the Gilded Age, opened in 1914 and the first hotel with air conditioning, central vacuum system and folding ballroom walls. The first Crab Louis was served here, named for Louis Davenport who called his hotel the "house of comfort." Fully restored and revitalized in 2002, the hotel offers a perfect blend of history, architectural beauty and modern amenities, where exceptional service remains the keynote and every guest feels at home. The Hotel's six ballrooms and over 33,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, provide regal settings for conventions, meetings and weddings. Opened in 2007 and designed to be the perfect complement to the historic hotel, the 21 story Tower (just across the street from the hotel) captures a spirit of timeless world travel and luxury in the finest of Davenport traditions. Guests are surrounded by elegance, fine imported furnishings and room decor, beautiful architecture and rich painting, sculptures and murals in the Tower lobby. Truly, the Tower is a landmark itself and the latest Davenport masterpiece. Refined elegance and comfort surround you in all of our 611 guest rooms and suites. The famous Davenport bed is the centerpiece of every guest room, which has caused many guests to declare, "A night at the Davenport is better then a night at home!"Expedia.com travelers ranked the hotel #3 in the U.S.A. and #6 in the world. Conde Nast Traveler has included the hotel in it's prestigious Gold List in 2007 and 2008. AAA has awarded the hotel a 4 Diamond rating, the highest in the region. Mr. Davenport said it best when he wished: "to so well please our guests, that they will be glad they came, sorry to leave and eager to return." Our mission statement remains the same today.
