The Montvale Hotel is a boutique hotel in Spokane, Washington. Originally built in 1899 as an SRO (Single Room Occupancy Hotel), the Montvale Hotel also served Spokane as an apartment building, a brothel, and as a youth hostel during Expo '74 and then was abandoned for 30 years. It was restored and re-opened in January 2005 as a 36 room boutique hotel, becoming one of Spokane's premier hotels with The Davenport Hotel and the Hotel Lusso.
With the demolition of the Pennington Wing at the Davenport Hotel, the Montvale gained the distinction as Spokane’s oldest hotel. Kilmer and Son's Hardware was located on buildings' main floor for over 60 years. Kilmer once employed Henry J. Kaiser.
Currently located in the same building as the Montvale Hotel are Catacombs Pub, which is located in the basement and is decorated in an Old European style pub with brick and rock walls. Catacombs also serves as the hotels restaurant providing room service to the guests. Also, Far West Billiards and Scratch Restaurant are located on the street level of the building.
