In the Heart of Baker City

Baker Tower anchors Main Street in the center of Baker City's historic district — surrounded by cafés, art galleries, antique shops, and local restaurants that give downtown its charm. Step outside and you're a short walk from community events, live music, and the Saturday market. Look up, and the Elkhorn Mountains frame the skyline.

From here, everything is close: the Geiser Grand Hotel across the street, Leo Adler Path along the river, and I-84 just a few minutes away. Whether you're hosting an event, living downtown, or visiting for the weekend, Baker Tower puts you right where Baker City comes alive.
