14 Best Hotels in Portland, OR
"A few blocks west of the bustling downtown core, Hotel deLuxe has double glass doors that open into the bygone Golden Age of Hollywood. At the top of the stairs, on a floor-to-ceiling black-and-white screen, Cary Grant whispers sweet nothings to a swooning Deborah Kerr in a still pulled from An Affair to Remember, while sparkling crystal chandeliers drip from the ornate gilt-edged ceilings and cushy pale-gold chairs invite you to kick off your kitten heels, mix a Sidecar, and stay awhile. Check-in is easy-breezy, and it doesn’t take long to get the lay of the land at this intimate inn. Straight ahead: citrus-infused spa water. To the right: the gorgeous Screening Room, where you can catch a famous old-timey flick if the night is right. To the left: the hotel’s impossibly elegant restaurant, Gracie’s, and, more importantly, the Driftwood Room, a small, sultry, retro hole-in-the-wall bar, local legend, and destination all its own." - Jen Stevenson
