Historic Union Hotel

In 1919 the businessmen of Union recognized the need to provide modern accommodations and dinning facilities for motorists going through town on Highway 30, the main rout of travel through Eastern Oregon. The Union Hotel was opened in 1921. This imposing three-story brick building is the largest commercial structure on Union's Main Street. The red brick walls are accented with white brick and the grande entrance features a wide central staircase leading to a broad covered porch that opens into an extensive lobby. After its initial heyday, the hotel declines. Restoration began in the 1990's and continues even today. The Union Hotel is renowned for its beautiful theme rooms and excellent food. (6)
