Hotel Ruby

What Hotel Ruby does

Hotel Ruby is a single boutique hotel property located at 901 W. 1st Ave in downtown Spokane, Washington's Entertainment District, operated under the Ruby Hospitality portfolio alongside sister properties Steam Plant Hotel, Montvale Event Center, and Ruby River Hotel. The property offers six room types ranging from Standard Queen to the Premium Ruby Suite (with kitchenette), all equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi, mini fridge, microwave, and in-room coffee, and operates a dog-friendly policy. On-site amenities include Sapphire Lounge, a craft cocktail bar connected to the lobby, and complimentary hot breakfast served at partner Rosie's Restaurant adjacent to the hotel. Guest-facing technology is standard hospitality infrastructure — SynXis booking engine for direct reservations, Booking.com (via BookingSuite) for OTA distribution, and Google Analytics with Google Signals for cross-device web tracking.

The revenue model is a traditional nightly hotel-stay operation with multiple ancillary fee streams: room night revenue, $7/night parking, $25 pet fee per dog, a $10/night Entertainment Fee redeemable for two complimentary drinks at Sapphire Lounge or Griffin Tavern, $10/day rollaway rentals, and a $75 check-in authorization hold. Pricing is diversified across standard room rates, package products (Dine & Stay, Concert Night, Bark & Breakfast), and discount rates targeted at military, medical, and local guests. Go-to-market is a hybrid direct + OTA strategy: the SynXis direct booking engine is positioned as the highest-margin channel with exclusive packages, while Booking.com and other OTAs provide incremental reach.

The hotel targets a fragmented set of leisure and SMB traveler segments including concert and theater attendees (Knitting Factory, Bing Crosby Theater, Fox Theater all within walking distance), urban explorers visiting Riverfront Park, sports fans at Spokane Arena, dog owners, medical travelers to nearby hospitals, business travelers, Spokane-area locals on staycations, and active duty/veteran military. Marketing relies on direct booking incentives, the Ruby Hospitality newsletter, Facebook and Instagram, TripAdvisor and Yelp listings, and partnerships with VisitSpokane, Greater Spokane Inc, and the Downtown Spokane Partnership. The underlying property is owned by GVD Commercial Properties; the business is privately held with 11–50 employees and no disclosed funding rounds, revenue figures, or external investors.
