Kah-Nee-Ta Resort & Spa was a resort in central Oregon, United States, on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, near the community of Warm Springs in Jefferson County. It closed on 5 September 2018, laying off all its employees.

History[edit]

Kah-Nee-Ta Resort first started by a non-Indian doctor who owned land around the hot springs of the Warm Springs River. In 1961, the Tribes purchased the land back and started to rebuild the spa. The great flood of 1964 damaged the spa and bridge to the spa. In 1964–1965, the Tribes built an Olympic-sized swimming pool, cottages, restaurant, and tepees.

In 1971, the Tribes began construction of the Kah-Nee-Ta Lodge using funds from low-interest loans from the Economic Development Administration (EDA). Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects designed the lodge. Today it stands as an example of seventies architecture with strong Indian and Scandinavian influences. The gigantic fireplace in the lobby represents all of that: raw concrete, Indian symbols and Artichoke lamps by Poul Henningsen for Louis Poulsen. In 1995, the Tribes expanded operations to include a casino and improved convention center.

In 2001, the resort and casino were combined to form Kah-Nee-Ta High Desert Resort & Casino, which also includes a golf course.

The resort's casino closed in December 2011 in preparation for moving it to a new property, the Indian Head Casino, on U.S. Route 26, where it would be more accessible to passing travelers.^[1] While Kah-Nee-Ta's casino netted $2–4 million annually, the tribes expected the new location to earn $8–12 million. The resort shifted its focus to its family-friendly amenities, including the golf course and spa.^[2]

The resort filed a WARN notice with the state on 7/6/2018, announcing that it plans to permanently lay off 146 employees starting Sept. 5, 2018. Along with the layoffs will come the closure of the resort, which includes a lodge, spa, hotel and RV park.^[3] In spite of efforts to maintain operations, the resort closed in September 2018. ^[4]

Kah-Nee-Ta is the unique name given to one of the most attractive getaway destinations, and among the most significant hot springs in Central Oregon. The scenic mountain views are only surpassed by hot springs surrounded by majestic rock walls and a belly of the Warm Springs River.

Lying about 120 miles over Mount Hood, and as would be expected, on the edge of a high desert climate, Kahneeta Hot Springs add the tone of luxury to what is already an attractive hot spring destination. The region integrates sagebrush, ponderosa pines, and Western juniper vegetation to mark itself as an outdoor destination.

What makes Kahneeta Hot Springs such an attractive spot for hot—spring lovers? Well, besides being among the highly accessible hot springs in Oregon, it geographical terrain is almost too appealing to be real. What is an extremely beautiful terrain of colorful hills, has been inserted in the middle of a desert background, to emerge as a natural oasis in a desert landscape. It is therefore not surprising that Kah-Nee-Ta would be an amazing host of a unique resort for outdoor lovers.

A scenery of yellow-red surrounded by a mountainous and hilly edge, and all carved the middle of a dessert-like background, offers an attractive hot spring experience that is, by all counts, memorable. This explains why, the primarily commercial matrix of hot springs in central Oregon is now defined with leading resorts, casinos, spas, and lodges.

Today, Kahneeta Hot Springs is renowned for a distinctive tribal identity of both art and culture. This identity has witnessed a gradual and yet increasingly appealing transformation of an otherwise remote desert geography, to be a welcoming outdoor location. The mineral water pools at Kah-Nee-Ta, add a dose of fun to an outdoor camping geography punctuated by spas and casinos, as well as the-now-popular Kah-Nee-Ta brand of tepees.

The hot springs are then intertwined with a tribal museum, the calm of the Deschutes River, and a National Fish Hatchery. Today, assorted mountain recreation facilities at Mount Hood National Forest lie between Warm Springs and Kah-Nee-Ta. Without question, when it comes to hot springs in Oregon. Kah-Nee-Ta offers a unique, and an unforgettable experience.
