Frenchglen Hotel State Heritage Site, Historic hotel and heritage site near Steens Mountain, Oregon.

Frenchglen Hotel is a 1924 hotel in the unincorporated community of Frenchglen, Harney County, Oregon, near the base of Steens Mountain and at the northern end of the loop road that climbs almost to the mountain's 9,000-foot summit. The historic building has eight guest rooms and a dining room; the adjacent Drovers' Inn accommodates overflow guests.

The hotel was built in 1924, when guests typically had business at Peter French's P Ranch or were visiting the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. From 1937 to 1938, the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife restored and enlarged it with labor from the Civilian Conservation Corps. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department took possession in 1973, and the site joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

The hotel's dining room is open to guests and travellers, and meals are served at shared tables, so strangers sit together and talk. In the early days, guests typically had business at Peter French's P Ranch or were visiting the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, and teachers for the Frenchglen School stayed in the hotel.

The hotel stands at the northern end of the Steens Mountain loop road, which climbs almost to the 9,000-foot summit, and about 1,281 metres above sea level in a valley below the mountain. The eight-room historic building and the Drovers' Inn take overflow guests, and the dining room serves meals. It is a base for the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and Steens Mountain.

The hotel stands at the northern end of the Steens Mountain loop road, which climbs almost to the summit above 9,000 feet. In its early days, teachers for the Frenchglen School stayed in the hotel. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department took possession in 1973.
