The Great Northern Hotel is a fictional setting featured in the television series Twin Peaks.[1] It is where much of the series takes place. The lead character, FBI Agent Dale Cooper, is a resident of the hotel for the length of the series.[2][3][4][5][6] The exterior of The Great Northern Hotel is the Snoqualmie Falls Lodge.[1] The lodge that inspired The Great Northern Hotel is the Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington.[4] The Kiana Lodge was built in the late 1920s and is furnished with alder bentwood pieces dating from that era.[4]
History
The hotel is owned by Ben Horne, a business associate of Leland Palmer; the death of his daughter Laura Palmer is the catalyst for the series.[7]
