Our Picks — Portland
Downtown
Portland's most opulent hotel occupies the top nine floors of the 1909 Meier & Frank Building — a department store designed by the same architect as the Woolworth Building — with a soaring nine-story atrium, Urban Farmer steakhouse, and rooms that balance historic Beaux-Arts grandeur with thoughtful modern design. The location on Morrison Street is as central as Portland gets.
Downtown
Portland's most art-forward boutique hotel — a downtown property with a 900-piece photography collection curated by the Oregonian's former photo director, including Vietnam War and rock photography alongside Pacific Northwest landscapes. The 127 rooms are moody, refined, and stocked with local goods from Powell's Books to Stumptown Coffee.
Downtown
The flagship that launched the global Ace Hotel phenomenon — a converted 1912 labor union building where surplus US Army wool blankets still cover the beds and Stumptown Coffee (which Ace helped popularize nationally) brews downstairs. Deliberately unpretentious in a city that values authenticity above all, the Ace Portland remains a pilgrimage for design-conscious travelers.
Downtown / Goose Hollow
A 1912 Portland institution on SW 15th that celebrated its history of Hollywood connections — Marlene Dietrich, Orson Welles, and John Wayne all stayed here — with a Golden Age of Hollywood aesthetic that fills corridors with silver-screen photography and guest rooms with period furnishings. The Driftwood Room cocktail lounge is a genuine Portland institution.
Downtown
One of Portland's grandest historic properties — originally the Governor Hotel, built in 1909 with Arts and Crafts murals by Charles Heaney — meticulously restored to showcase its Lewis and Clark exploration theme. The Jake's Famous Crawfish restaurant adjacent is one of Portland's most beloved seafood institutions.
Old Town / Chinatown
The London boutique chain's US flagship brought its genuine-neighborhood-hotel formula to Portland's Old Town — with a lobby designed as a public living room, four distinct restaurants (including Tope for Mexican, and Lovely Rita for a rooftop), and 119 rooms at prices that compete with Portland's best Airbnbs for value.
