Whitney Peak Hotel Reno, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Whitney Peak is a non-gaming hotel at 255 North Virginia Street, next to the Reno Arch, now part of Hilton's Tapestry Collection. It has no casino floor or smoke, which is the main reason people pick it over the downtown resorts. The building has an outdoor climbing wall and the Cafe Whitney restaurant, which has hosted drag brunches. It is a short walk to the Riverwalk and Wingfield Park, where Northern Nevada Pride happens, and about ten minutes on foot to 5 Star Saloon. Google rates it 4.3 from about 2,700 reviews. Travel booking sites tag it gay-friendly, but that is their filter, not a certification.
