Ashland Springs Hotel combines the charm of a bed and breakfast, the friendliness of a small inn, the feel of a spa resort, and the safety and convenience of a hotel.
Congratulations on your engagement; we look forward to hearing from you!
History
Ashland Springs Hotel originally opened its doors in 1925, and today this stunning facility continues to offer first-class hospitality to the most discerning brides and event planners. Originally built as the Lithia Hotel in 1925, more recent guests will remember it as the Mark Antony. In 1998, local Ashland residents Doug and Becky Neuman purchased the former Mark Antony Hotel and began a complete basement-to-parapet renovation. Their vision was to restore the hotel to its original grandeur. Upon completion of the much-anticipated restoration, the hotel now boasts modern state-of-the-art systems and a conservatory adjacent to the ballroom that features stunning glass doors opening to a panoramic view of a new courtyard, gazebo, fountain, and English Garden.
Today, the beautifully restored landmark is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 70-room European-style boutique hotel with its ever-popular restaurant, Larks-Home Kitchen Cuisine, is conveniently located off I-5 in beautiful downtown Ashland, Oregon, just a 4.5 hour drive from Portland and 5.5 hour drive from the Bay Area.
Ashland Springs Hotel is the perfect venue for your engagement, showers, rehersal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception. Our wedding specialist will help you every step of the way to create an elegant event with no detail overlooked.
Setting descriptions
The grand two-story lobby with marble floors, an oversized fireplace, lovely specimen palms, and an incredible array of exotic curiosities and collections from faraway places warmly greet you and your guests upon arrival.
The Palm Room is the intimate bride's dressing room located on the Mezzanine level. This charming space has an elegance that complements the hotel. Gracious palms, a gold-gilt Italian console, and mirror with vintage sconces create an inviting room for all of your bridal needs. Oversized windows provide spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and flood this room with natural light.
Our palm-filled Conservatory with natural lighting and stone tile is breathtaking. This space provides the perfect setting for guests to gather before the ceremony or mingle during a post-ceremony cocktail hour or reception. We provide antique portable crème-colored bars for cocktail service as well as gift tables.
The courtyard garden with cobblestone floor, complete with sundial, fountain, custom designed wrought-iron gazebo and trellises boasts a collection of old fashioned climbing roses, petunias, specimen trees, ferns and ivy. Ornamental garden planters spill out spectacular annual flowers all spring and summer. Garden tables, chairs and decorative lighting invite you to enjoy this charming outdoor setting, perfect for a late spring, summer and early fall wedding.
The original crystal chandelier has been resurrected and is now an exquisite six-foot-wide crystal-laden piece that crowns the soaring ceilings of the Crystal Room. Grand windows offer spectacular natural lighting making this space open and inviting.
Ornate wooden wainscoting, designer brass chandeliers and luminaries cast a star-lit ambience throughout the neutral Moroccan palate of the room. This room lands itself to more intimate wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners.
Adjoining the Conservatory is our Grand Ballroom.
The old-world charm and romantic elegance of this room are enhanced by the golden glow of the mica and cast bronze chandeliers original to the hotel. Warm and inviting colors, a built-in dance floor, intimate lighting, and an illuminated cake table decorated with a tulle ceiling canopy combine to create a stunning backdrop for a memorable banquet or wedding reception. We offer an array of table setup and linen choices. Our banquets staff will assist you in creating the perfect wedding and reception for you and your guests.
