Washington’s Palace Hotel listed for $195,000, with major updates needed

The 22-bedroom Palace Hotel in Odessa, Washington, is on the market for $195,000 after years of vacancy, with substantial work needed on its windows and systems.

The Palace Hotel in Odessa, Washington, is listed for $195,000 after sitting vacant for years. Built in 1917, the 22-bedroom property needs significant updating, including attention to its windows and systems. The low asking price therefore comes with a substantial restoration project for its next owner.

The building spans 4,572 square feet across three levels and retains original millwork, a grand staircase, built-in cabinetry, oversized windows and wood paneling. Its layout includes formal living and dining rooms, a kitchen and an eating area, with bedrooms on the upper levels. A lower-level summer kitchen provided additional space for entertaining and gatherings.

One family operated the hotel for nearly 50 years. When that operation ended, and exactly how long the property has been vacant, remain unclear. Much of the original layout survives, but the building requires work before a new owner can put it to a new use.
