The Ansorge Hotel is a turn of the 20th-century two-story hotel located in Curlew, Washington. It was built in 1903 next to the Great Northern Railway. Several patrons of historical note were accommodated at the hotel, including Henry Ford who stayed while visiting relatives in the region.[3]

As of 2023, the bay windows of the Ansorge Hotel remain as does the stamped sheet metal siding, which resembles the look of brick.[4] The structure has been restored and contains many of the original fixtures and furniture. It is operated as a museum, open on summer weekends.[4]
