Owing its name to Native Americans whose name translates to 'Children of the Sun,' Spokane, Washington, is bisected perfectly by the picturesque Spokane River. Straddling the river, the city's Centennial Trail winds past cascading falls at Spokane's western end, offering hikers and bikers miles of waterfront vistas. Reflecting colorful changes in the four seasons, this town's attractions include whitewater rafting, cross-country skiing, hiking, world-class ice skating, Native and early 19th century American history, high-end shopping malls and quaint boutiques with eclectic flair.

Pick your passion and peruse package options for the best deal on cheap accommodations paired with passes to skiing, theme parks, golf, ice skating events or other Spokane offerings. Both national chains and independently run inns often have ties to local venues.

Call festival organizers for cheap rates on accommodations at sponsor hotels. Artfest, Dixie Jazz Festival, the Lilac Festival and others have agreements with hotel sponsors to offer discounts for travelers supporting their cause.

Prepare for Arrival in Spokane, Washington

Step1
Book cheap connecting flights through Seattle or another major hub rather than flying directly into Spokane Airport, which can prove prohibitively expensive.

Playful people enjoy Spokane's bounty of parks and theme parks, so plan ahead and buy discount tickets directly via telephone or online services. Those traveling with a group should inquire about special rates.
