The scent of pine, the twinkle of lights, the grandeur of a soaring live Christmas tree\u2014it\u2019s a scene that feels plucked from a movie set, and it happens right here in downtown Spokane.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each year, the Davenport transforms into a winter wonderland that delights locals and visitors alike. At the heart of it all stands a two-story Christmas tree, adorned with over 10,000 lights and ornaments that sparkle under the hotel\u2019s original 1914 stain glass ceiling. It\u2019s become a cherished photo backdrop for families, couples, and guests who return year after year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of Spokane\u2019s most treasured holiday events, Christmas Tree Elegance, takes place inside the hotel, featuring beautifully decorated themed trees raffled off to support the Spokane Symphony. It\u2019s a dazzling display of community creativity\u2014and every ticket helps fund the local arts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And no holiday visit is complete without indulging in one of the Davenport\u2019s most legendary treats: house-made peanut brittle. Available in the Emporium in classic form or infused into coffee, ice cream, and seasonal desserts, this nostalgic candy is a sweet tradition passed down through generations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you&#8217;re cozying up with a peppermint cocktail in the Peacock Room, checking in for a festive Dashing through the Davenport staycation, or bringing visiting family to see the lights, the holidays at The Davenport are full of warmth, magic, and Spokane spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you ask anyone in Spokane what truly marks the beginning of the holiday season, chances are they\u2019ll mention the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":2843,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[84,86,83],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dining","category-meetings-events","category-activities"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davenporthotelcollection.com\/the-historic-davenport-hotel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davenporthotelcollection.com\/the-historic-davenport-hotel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davenporthotelcollection.com\/the-historic-davenport-hotel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davenporthotelcollection.com\/the-historic-davenport-hotel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davenporthotelcollection.com\/the-historic-davenport-hotel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2841"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.davenporthotelcollection.com\/the-historic-davenport-hotel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2841\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2842,"href":"https:\/\/www.davenporthotelcollection.com\/the-historic-davenport-hotel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2841\/revisions\/2842"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davenporthotelcollection.com\/the-historic-davenport-hotel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2843"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davenporthotelcollection.com\/the-historic-davenport-hotel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davenporthotelcollection.com\/the-historic-davenport-hotel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davenporthotelcollection.com\/the-historic-davenport-hotel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
