Whitney Peak

Top choice in Reno


What's not to love about this independent, inventive, funky, friendly, nonsmoking, non-gambling downtown hotel? Spacious guest rooms have a youthful, fun vibe celebrating the great outdoors and don't skimp on designer creature comforts. With an executive-level concierge lounge, an external climbing wall (if you're game), a decent on-site restaurant and friendly, professional staff, Whitney Peak is unbeatable in Reno.
