Why It Matters

Portland's only riverfront hotel in the downtown core, with direct access to Tom McCall Waterfront Park and the RiverPlace Marina. Kimpton's hallmark hospitality touches — no-fee pet policy, complimentary wine hour, in-room yoga mats — make the stay feel genuinely personal rather than corporate.

The only riverfront hotel in downtown Portland sits right on the Willamette River, with views of the RiverPlace Marina, the Hawthorne Bridge, and the water — none of which you'll find from a downtown high-rise. The hotel leans hard into a Pacific Northwest lodge aesthetic: natural materials, layered textures, a lobby fireplace, Pendleton wool pillows, and rope-accented furniture. It's 85 rooms across 4 low-rise floors, which keeps things quiet and personal.
