History
Established in 1928.
In 1927, the people of Walla Walla decided to honor Marcus Whitman by naming their new hotel after him. The idea for a luxury hotel had been a topic of discussion since the early 1920s. In 1927, W.W. Baker, president of Baker Boyer National Bank, called together the city fathers and spearheaded the efforts of moving forward with the idea. Construction began in September 1927. The Marcus Whitman Hotel officially opened September 1, 1928. It was the most luxurious hotel for miles around. By the 1970’s, the hotel had begun to slide into disrepair. In 1999, Kyle Mussman formed Real Estate Improvement Company and bought the historic structure. Sharing a community vision with the City and Port of Walla Walla, they restored and expanded the grand old building to provide not only classic elegance and style, but also cutting-edge technology for today’s conference needs. The hotel continues to be a landmark and source of pride in the community.
