Second Floor
Named for local Native American tribes, the Cayuse, Nez Perce, and Umatilla meeting rooms are located on the second floor of the hotel's historic tower. Unpartitioned, these three rooms transform into the larger Native American room.
For smaller executive meetings, the Walla Walla Boardroom comfortably seats 14 in leather seats, around a polished-wood conference table. A state-of-the-art audiovisual conference system ensures that even remote business colleagues can hear and see meeting presentations.
