The Ridpath Hotel is a complex of four buildings in Spokane, Washington – the Ridpath Tower (completed in 1952), the Halliday Building (completed 1889), the Y Building (completed 1906), and the Executive Court building (completed in 1963). The Ridpath Tower, the main portion of the hotel, was designed by San Francisco architect Ned Hyman Abrams and is the second iteration of the Ridpath Hotel – the original building was destroyed by fire in 1950. The hotel, originally opened in 1900 and closed in 2008, and has now been fully renovated and opened as a low-income apartment complex called Ridpath Club Apartments in 2017. It has the distinction of being Spokane's longest continuously run hotel through those 108 years.[2] The Ridpath reopened as the Ridpath Club Apartments in March 2018. The building offers the first micro apartments available in the city, which are essentially a converted hotel room designed to be affordable housing units or workforce housing.[3]
