Why Spokane is Washington’s hidden gem for food and travel lovers
We tried some of the most high-end luxury experiences in Spokane, and it blew us away
The Davenport Historical Hotel

When thinking about iconic places in Washington State, I'm reminded of Mount Rainier or the Hoh Rainforest. However, this month, I visited the second-largest city in Washington State for the first time, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Spokane, aptly named after an indigenous tribe meaning "Children of the Sun," is a place where nature meets high-end luxury. And nothing screams high-end luxury louder than the Davenport Hotel in Spokane, WA. Courtesy of Visit Spokane, my husband and I were thrilled to come and preview exclusive eats for its Food and Wine Festival, as well as some of the other exciting sights and sounds. Here were our favorite experiences.

If you're a solo skier or snowboarder who's ever gazed at those powdery slopes and hoped to make some new friends, then this brand-new app is just the thing for you. Chairlift is a free social networking app for your lone wolf days to help you connect with other riders. Just fire up the app, and you're able to browse who else is going to the same ski resort. Filter by your vibe, ski or snowboard, and experience levels, and then create or join a "Chairlift" group.

Once in, the Chairlift chat lights up with any coordinating details like meetup spots or start times, and you're even able to share photos to help hype up the rest of your crew. Users can also create profiles: write bios, indicate your skill level, add pictures and social links, so you can get to know your companions before you go. Chairlift is also beta testing an Après feature so that you can continue the post-slope vibes. Create or join an Après meetup for a casual hangout at a local bar or restaurant.
