Springs Hotel, Ashland

The Ashland Springs Hotel stands as a testament to the city's rich history and architectural grandeur. Originally constructed in 1925, the hotel has undergone several transformations over the years, each contributing to its storied past. Formerly known as the Mark Antony Motor Hotel or the Lithia Springs Hotel, the Ashland Springs Hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 under its original name, "Lithia Springs Hotel." It was later listed again in 2000 as a contributing building in the Ashland Downtown Historic District.

Designed by the esteemed architectural firm Tourtellotte & Hummel, the Ashland Springs Hotel was envisioned as a premier destination to attract visitors to the area. Constructed before the Great Depression, the hotel boasted a luxurious ambiance and architectural elements that reflected a blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and Neo-Classical Revival styles. The nine-story central tower, flanked by two short wings, was a striking feature that distinguished the hotel's skyline and positioned it as a landmark along the West Coast.

Throughout its history, the hotel has weathered economic challenges and undergone extensive renovations to preserve its historic integrity. In 1961, it was renamed the Mark Antony Motor Hotel before reverting to its original name. Today, the Ashland Springs Hotel continues to welcome guests with its timeless elegance and commitment to preserving the heritage of Ashland, Oregon. As a proud member of Historic Hotels of America, the hotel stands as a cherished landmark and a symbol of the city's enduring legacy.
