Residence Inn Wenatchee

The Residence Inn by Marriott Wenatchee and its Orchard Bar + Bites Restaurant opened Tuesday, an event commemorated on Wednesday with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The 127-room, five-story building at 1229 Walla Walla Ave., has been in the works since late 2019.

The $15.3 million build is a co-investment project between The Hotel Group (THG) and Seattle-based Stream Real Estate, the property owner and developer. Located next to Walla Walla Point Park, the hotel is designed for extended stays, offering rooms with fully equipped kitchens and a small dining and sitting area, and catering to business and leisure travelers and their pets.

Amenities include a laundry facility, complimentary breakfast, free grocery delivery service, fitness center, indoor swimming pool with “garage-style doors” leading to an outdoor hot tub and 10,000 square feet of patio space with firepits. It also has private meeting space, equipped with virtual conferencing technology.

Orchard Bar + Bites Restaurant is also part of the package, available to the public as well as hotel guests.
