Located along the Willamette River, the Valley River Inn has been a mainstay of the Eugene community for over 50 years.
Originally opened in 1973, Valley River Inn is an iconic property idyllically set alongside the calm Willamette River. It has long been considered a local treasure by the community and an artful respite by travelers and famous musicians alike—Elvis Presley is perhaps the hotel’s most famous guest.
Following a multi-million-dollar renovation, the property partially reopened to the public in August 2024.
Beyond the hotel’s grand lobby, with its modern lodge style architecture, the on-site restaurant, Sweet Waters on the River offers guests locally sourced Pacific Northwest fare with panoramic views of the Willamette River. The restaurant seats more than 230 guests for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as brunch on the weekends. The property also features over 15,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event spaces, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a seasonal outdoor swimming pool.
Featuring some of the largest rooms in Eugene, the 259 fully renovated guest rooms at Valley River Inn offer guests a relaxing stay with all the luxuries of a modern upscale hotel. The guest rooms have a timeless color palette that is serene and earthy, a blend of warm and cool neutrals accented with touches of rust and green. The new signature carpet is a bold pattern inspired by the ripples of the Willamette River.
Furniture stylings are a purposeful mix of 1970s and modern lodge. The rooms feature robust yet sleek wood casegoods, including asymmetrical, rounded coffee tables and long desks equipped with USB plugs and modern desk lamps. The design seamlessly merges the rustic charm of a lodge with the sleek sophistication of modern amenities.
