COEUR d’ALENE — A four-story, 105-room hotel could be coming to Northwest Boulevard.
It’s the third hotel planned for the downtown area, with a six-story Marriott at Sixth Street and Sherman Avenue and Hagadone Corporation’s 15-story hotel at First and Sherman also in the works.
According to a city staff report, The Residence Inn Hotel would include a restaurant and bar, conference and meeting room, fitness area, swimming pool and 107 parking spaces. Plans call for it to be 55 feet tall.
The hotel would take up several commercial lots, mostly vacant, totaling nearly 100,000 square feet at 1808 and 1820 Northwest Blvd. It would be on the east side of Northwest Boulevard, between Emma and Davidson avenues.
“This was the former site of the Garden Motel that was demolished several years ago after a fire, and was abandoned prior to the fire,” the report reads.
The city’s Design Review Commission will hold a hearing on the project at noon Thursday at City Hall. Cameron Hudspeth, architect with Richardson Design Partnership, LLC, based in Salt Lake City, is scheduled to make a presentation on behalf of CDA Hotel II, LLC.
The DRC previously approved the Marriott hotel, but that project is under appeal. An April 16 hearing was tabled by the Coeur d’Alene City Council and has yet to be rescheduled.
The Hagadone Corporation’s Sherman Tower will feature 139 rooms, a 6,000-square-foot restaurant with a seasonal rooftop bar, and nearly 4,000 square feet of retail and office space. It will also have a detached three-level parking structure at First and Lakeside Avenue.
Construction on Sherman Tower could begin early next year with an opening planned for spring of 2027.

The Young Family’s Foundation launched about a year ago with a mission "to empower young, hardworking families to achieve the dream of home ownership. Even if a family saved $25,000, they would still be $19,000 short of the down payment needed to buy a $550,000 home, which is the median price in Kootenai County. It’s estimated that only about 20% of area households can afford to buy a home.
