Public Rooms
The Ashland Springs Hotel harkens back to a simpler time. The inspiration
for the hotel is the town's history and its natural setting. In the late
19th Century, Ashland's Chatauqua auditorium provided visitors educational
lectures and entertainment, while numerous springs and baths rejuvenated
their bodies.
Now in the 21st century, a design concept has been created that integrates
the region's past with the varied educational, artistic and naturalist
interests of a highly literate and vital contemporary community

Linger in our inviting lobby with its massive fireplace,
original terrazzo floor, towering specimen palms, rarities, exotic curiosities
and collections from far away places. Interiors were created to evoke a
simpler era—back to those times of "water cures" from the famous lithia
springs and the draw of nature. One-of-a-kind pieces of furniture for the
lobby were chosen for their natural beauty and emphasis on comfort. Various
collections displayed in the lobby bring nature’s wonders inside. Local
interest in ornithology and entomology are captured in French "cabinets
de curiosite" displaying collections of taxidermy birds, eggs, nests and
insects. Read a complimentary magazine or newspaper on the mezzanine. Travel
through time with the Magic Time Observer by local artist, David Ralston
and learn about how the idea for his creation came to him in a dream. Sit
back, relax and people-watch in this historic place, which has been the
center of Ashland's social life since 1925. |

A complimentary continental breakfast is also served daily
on the mezzanine. Original Lloyd Loom furniture has been chosen and ceiling
fans capture the setting of a Noel Coward play.. |

The Grand Ballroom, adjoining a palm-filled natural light
Conservatory and adjacent English Garden and courtyard, is an ideal location
for celebrations, weddings and private and business functions. The romantic
elegance of the ballroom space is enhanced by an exotic axminster carpet
in a flower and bird motif, botanicals hand-painted on the wall above a
trellised wainscot, all of which are cast in the golden glow of the hotel's
original mica and cast bronze chandeliers. |

The palm-filled natural light Conservatory adjoins the Grand
Ballroom and is adjacent to the English Garden and courtyard. |

Come experience the enchantment of the new Crystal Room (formally
Elfinwood) at the Ashland Springs Hotel.
The Black Forest Stag Horn collection has been replaced and a version of
the original Crystal Chandelier has been resurrected and now this exquisite
six foot wide crystal laden piece crowns the newly concepted room. This
great room now exudes classic beauty and charm with old gilt mirrors, English
oil paintings and lovely antique chairs. The lodge feel of old has been
transformed and now the room embraces you with an easy elegance and old
world chic, reminiscent of the rest of the hotel.
Everyone will now enjoy this room’s lovely aesthetic…beautiful
for brides, fun for cocktails and dancing, lovely and intimate for special
dinners and celebrations, practical and comfortable for board meetings and
conferences. This stunning room will make every occasion truly memorable.

new high definition plasma T.V. This will allow you to provide personalized
photo CD’s, DVD’s or power point presentations to enhance your
guest experience.
The Crystal Room now lends itself to every occasion from intimate dining
to comfortable gatherings accommodating up to 100 of your guests. |

Larks- Home Kitchen Cuisine at the historic
Ashland Springs Hotel is open. Come and celebrate the Oregon story –
its farms, orchards, vineyards and chocolatiers. Southern Oregon has become
a mecca for award winning products including cheeses, fruits and chocolates.
Our Executive Chef Damon Jones, formerly of Emeril’s of New Orleans
and Executive Chef of Sunriver Resort’s Crosswater restaurant makes
weekly visits to the growers’ market in Ashland to purchase the
freshest produce to create his comfort food from scratch. Larks’
wine list has been created in house, with special attention to our great
Oregon wines. This list will impress all wine lovers!
The philosophy of Larks (short for Meadowlark- the state bird) created
by owners Doug and Becky Neuman is best described as “Farm to Table”
– pairing the freshest foods from our local farms with great wines,
artisan chocolate desserts and drinks in a relaxing and soothing atmosphere.
Comfort food is Larks’ specialty. Dishes like homemade meatloaf
and Anniebelle’s fried chicken are most popular. And there are creative
twists on old favorites like local vegetable Shepherd’s Pie with
mashed celery root. Other specialties include Maple glazed pork chops
with apple compote made from the organic apples at the Neuman’s
Farm. Ingredients like truffle oil, wild mushrooms, hazelnut, pear and
marionberry layer in the Oregon flavor. And for dessert it’s Dagoba
chocolate sundaes, delightful cheesecake specials, just to name a few.
Unique furnishings such as two and three person settees layered with
cushions and pillows create comfortable seating arrangements at the tables
while loom chairs painted in sage, olive and mustard colors are mixed
about to give a casual, eclectic feel.
The artwork, lamps and even the waiters’ ties have been specially
collected by Becky Neuman, also the designer, to reflect a 1940’s
nostalgia, which compliments the charm and casual elegance of the Ashland
Springs Hotel.
Larks is open daily for Lunch from 11:30am till 2:00pm and dinner from
5:00pm till 9:00pm. Saturday and Sunday brunch is served from 9:00am till
2:00pm. Café-style outside dining offered June through September.
“Great cooking is the accumulation of the details done to perfection.”
Chef Damon Jones
