"The
lobby is beginning to resemble an art gallery. Actually
the art extends throughout the main floor of the hotel, ” said
Denise McCravey, owner of the Oak Street Hotel with her husband
Mike. “We
want to feature some of the fine artists in the Gorge. Displays
change every few weeks. Select choices of gift items will
always be available
like hand blown glass fleurettes and stunning floral displays.”
A selection of Columbia Gorge wine is available
by the bottle or in unique gift baskets paired with items
like smoked salmon
or fine
chocolates.
Containers for the gift baskets are not the typical straw basket
or box. It may be a small piece of leather luggage, a fish
made of iron, a hand blown glass vase or a wood slatted tray. “ What
holds the wine or glass art or even the less expensive gifts of lotions
or coffee beans sets the tone for the gift,” shares McCravey.
“Our floral and gift designer offers a fresh look with a wide
price range for individuals and businesses.”
The Columbia Gorge is a fascinating area rich in history and
photographic views. Our premium selection of books and maps
offer insight to
this 50 million year geological wonder and suggest road trips
to beautiful
places in the Gorge.
Even if you are not staying at the Oak Street Hotel come inside
to see the selection of art, glass and gifts.
