Impressing guests since 1927, the Heathman Lodge is a safe bet when looking for the best hotels in Portland. Located in downtown Portland, the hotel was renovated in 2018 to reflect a more contemporary style. Rooms are airy and bright with modern decor that pay homage to this hotel's impressive history without making it feel dated. Local's Tip: Check out the hotel's library on the first floor to see rare books signed by notable guests like Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize winners.

Best known for accommodating celebrities and every visiting U.S. President since William H. Taft, The Benson is one of the most iconic hotels in Portland. Step foot into the lobby and find yourself in the midst of an elegant Austrian crystal chandelier. The elegance of this opulent Portland hotel is unmatched. The rooms are modernly designed and were completely renovated in 2018. Every room comes equipped with Temper-Pedic beds, marble bathrooms are access to top-notch amenities.

Designed in a beautifully renovated 1900s building, Woodlark is a stylish hotel that offers the perfect weekend escape or staycation.

The hotel's restaurant, The Bullard Tavern, seems incapable of disappointment and the adjoining bar, Abigail Hall, is buzzing with laughter well into the night.

Opened in 2017, Dossier is one of the newest hotels in Portland, but that doesn't stop it from being one of the best. Awarded by Condé Nast Traveler as the best hotel in Oregon in 2019, the Dossier strives to impress. The rooms are decorated in a classy mid-century style without sacrificing essential comforts. The Beautyrest mattress is topped with high-quality Italian linen sheets. For food, make reservations at Bistro Alder in the lobby, which serves French fare in a 1920's inspired bistro.

Attracting everyone from celebrities and professional athletes to wedding-dress clad weekend brides, this is the place to be for a memorable stay in Portland. The Nines is modern and sleek, giving off a luxurious vibe few can resist. The well-appointed rooms are tranquil and the service is top-notch (as to be expected). This is a great option for those that like to be in the heart of action. The lobby is always buzzing with energy and the rooftop bar is one of the best in Portland.

Those in search of luxury shouldn't overlook Sentinel Hotel. Located in the heart of downtown, Sentinel gives guests access to the city's best food carts, top-notch restaurants (try Lil Shalom) and great local shops.

Velvet green walls, Pendelton wool throws and leather accents will have you confusing this beloved Portland hotel for a luxury escape to Scotland.

Located on the edge of Chinatown, The Hoxton offers floor-to-ceiling windows, tasteful mid-century modern furniture and local artwork. The (three) onsite restaurants are some of the best in the city, so if you'd like a nightcap, head to the rooftop bar Tope, where the only guarantee is a strong drink (a seat is much harder to come by). As for amenities, this Portland hotel has it all. From complimentary bike rentals to rooftop morning yoga on the last Friday of the month.

Located in a historic 1909 building, Hotel Lucia has a more playful vibe than some of the other hotels mentioned on this list and that's largely in part due to the eclectic art throughout the property. From the art in the lobby bathroom (I have questions!) to the cool decor inside the rooms, you'll have plenty of conversation starters. Located right off Broadway, you'll be in the heart of everything. I suggest grabbing breakfast from St. Honoré, a charming bakery a block from the hotel.

Often dubbed one of the best business hotels in Portland, the AC Hotel by Marriott is a great option for those planning a quick stay in Portland.

Located in downtown Portland, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better location, take a stroll down Tom McCall Park between meetings for some peaceful respite.

The Kimpton Riverplace Hotel has the most coveted location in the city. Situated right on the Willamette River, this hotel offers stunning river views especially at sunset.
