Nestled along the Willamette River in Eugene, Oregon, Valley River Inn is a historic yet newly reimagined retreat blending Pacific Northwest charm with modern comfort. Originally opened in 1973, the landmark property completed a multi-million-dollar renovation in 2024, introducing refreshed guest rooms and suites, many with private riverfront balconies.

Guests enjoy direct access to the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Path, connecting to Alton Baker Park, Delta Ponds and Eugene’s beloved Owen Rose Garden for cycling, running, birdwatching, and riverside walks. For outdoor enthusiasts, complimentary bicycles, curated activity maps, and new experience-driven stay packages encourage exploration both onsite and throughout Eugene.

Onsite amenities include a seasonal outdoor pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and an inviting hotel library, perfect for relaxed evenings with board games. Guests can enjoy Pacific Northwest cuisine and craft cocktails at Sweet Waters on the River, the inn’s signature restaurant, which focuses on regional ingredients.
