Rooms and basics to pack for any season
Bring standard travel items you’ll need in the guestroom: phone chargers, toiletries you prefer, medications, and any adapters. The Davenport Hotel rooms provide typical in-room amenities but personal items are more reliable.
If you booked a specific room type, note bedding options so you pack accordingly: Room, 1 King Bed; Room, 2 Queen Beds; Junior Suite, with Sofa bed, Corner; and Room (Davenport).
- Chargers (phone, laptop), power bank
- Prescription meds and a small first-aid kit
- Toiletries you prefer (hotel toiletries are available but may be limited)
- An evening outfit for dining or events
| Item | Why |
|---|---|
| Photo ID in app/wallet | Required at check-in (minimum age to check in is 18) |
| Credit/debit card | Hotels commonly hold a deposit at check-in |
| Printed reservation or confirmation number | Helps with faster arrival at 24-hour front desk |
Summer (late June–early September): light layers and sun protection
Summers in Spokane are warm and dry with daytime highs often in the mid-80s°F, so pack breathable clothing and sun protection. Downtown is walkable, so comfortable walking shoes are useful for Riverfront Park and nearby attractions.
Bring a lightweight jacket or cardigan for cool mornings or air-conditioned restaurants and meeting rooms.
- Shorts, T-shirts, sundresses
- Light jacket or cardigan
- Sunscreen, sunglasses, hat
- Comfortable walking shoes
| When to use | Suggested item |
|---|---|
| Day exploring Riverfront Park | Comfortable walking shoes |
| Outdoor afternoon | Sunscreen and hat |
| Evening at Palm Court Grill | Smart-casual outfit |
Shoulder seasons (spring & fall): layer for variable days
April–May and September–October are mild but changeable; daytime highs often sit in the 60s–70s and nights can fall into the 40s. Pack layers you can add or remove as temperatures shift.
Bring a waterproof light jacket—spring can include rainy days and fall evenings can feel brisk, especially near Spokane Falls.
- Light-to-medium jacket (water-resistant)
- Long-sleeve shirts and sweaters
- Closed-toe shoes and a compact umbrella
- One dressier outfit for indoor dining or events

| Visiting attractions early morning | Add a warm base layer or fleece |
| Evening at Peacock Room Lounge | Smart-casual with a light blazer |
Winter: cold-weather essentials
Winters in Spokane are cold with average highs in the 30s°F and regular snowfall, so bring a warm coat, insulated footwear, and accessories. If you plan day trips to Mt. Spokane or nearby ski areas, pack appropriate winter gear.
Waterproof boots and a hat/gloves/ scarf are helpful for walking around downtown and to nearby attractions with snowy sidewalks.
- Insulated coat and warm boots
- Warm hat, gloves, scarf
- Thermal layers or fleece
- Traction-friendly shoes or overboots if you’ll be on icy sidewalks

Bring workout clothes and shoes for the 24-hour fitness center; the hotel lists Peloton bikes and cardio equipment on site, so pack headphones if you’ll stream workouts.
