You could own a cornerstone of Hood River history

25 Apr

Reminder: If you’d like to own a lovely, restored historic hotel, the Hood River Hotel could be yours.

That’s right, owners Brian and Penny Cunninghame are interested in selling the property they’ve owned — and loved — since the year 2000.

The 41-room, 32,000-square-foot structure at 102 Oak Ave. in Hood River is listed for $5.5 million. Built in 1910, it includes a restaurant, bar, fitness facility and spa. An elevator serves upper floors.

Ideally situated close to Interstate 84, the hotel fronts on Oak Avenue, the city name for Oregon Highway 30 — the Historic Columbia Gorge Highway. Completely renovated in 1988, the hotel includes over 3,500 square feet of meeting space. Two retail rental spaces at street level provide additional income.

Guests enjoy walking access to eight wine tasting rooms, three brewpubs, abundant boutique shopping opportunities and several fine dining establishments. The hotel is near the Mt. Hood Railroad depot, the Hood River (bring your fly rod), and Columbia River waterfront (windsurfing or kiteboarding, anyone?).

To get more detailsor to arrange a viewing, contact either J. McGregor Colt at Colt Listing Service, 541-490-1175, or Tod Breslau of the Premiere Property Group in Portland, at 503-740-4888.

Heads up, late sleepers — new breakfast menu (with cocktails) debuts Oct. 19

11 Oct

As it does every fall, Cornerstone Cuisine at the Hood River Hotel on Oct. 17 will make several adjustments to its operating hours and menu.

The dining room will be open for breakfast and lunch from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday. No dinner service will be offered on those days. On Fridays and Saturdays, the restaurant will be open for all three meals, from 7 a.m. until close; dinner service starts at 4 p.m. On Sundays, the dining room will open at 7 a.m. and close at 4 p.m.

Along with the schedule changes, Cornerstone Cuisine will debut the ultimate happy hour breakfast menu — featuring mimosas and Bloody Marys — from 10 a.m. to noon daily, beginning Wednesday, Oct. 19.

The Hotel ownership continues to meet with potential buyers. Brian and Penny Cunninghame announced earlier this year that they would try to sell the Hotel, which they have owned for 11 years. They have received several serious inquiries, but have not yet reached a sale agreement.

In the meantime, Brian Cunninghame says the Hotel will continue to operate as it always has, providing visitors to downtown Hood River with classic, old-world charm and contemporary amenities. Through October, river view rooms are available for $99 any night of the week (normally $124 to $134), and until the end of the year, the Hotel is offering its Centennial Sunday rate of $100 for any room on Sunday night — in celebration of its 100th anniversary.

Interested potential buyers should contact the Hotel’s listing agent, Greg Colt, at 541-490-1175.
