The Frenchglen Hotel State Heritage Site is a hotel in the sparsely populated southeast part of
Oregon,
United States. It is located in the unincorporated community of
Frenchglen, near the base of
Steens Mountain and at the northern end of the loop road that ascends almost to the mountain's summit above .
The hotel was built in 1924.
In its early days, its guests typically had business at
Peter French's P Ranch or were visiting the
Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
From 1937 to 1938, the hotel was restored and enlarged by the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, with labor from the
Civilian Conservation Corps.
The
Oregon Parks and Recreation Department took possession of the property in 1973.
[. Retrieved January 27, 2014.] The site was added to the
National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
Today, the historic hotel building has eight guest rooms,
and an additional modern building, the Drovers' Inn, accommodates overflow guests. It also has a dining room.
Guests still visit for the wildlife refuge, as well as nearby Steens Mountain.
