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.

Queen
Bunkalow Suite

King or Double/Double
Fireplace Suite
A romantic option with a wood-burning fireplace, private bedroom, jetted tub, and sofa bed. No river view, but the fireplace more than makes up for it on a rainy Portland night.
King + Sofa Bed
Fireplace Suite with Willamette River View
The best of both worlds: waterfront views and a wood-burning fireplace. Add a jetted tub to the mix and this is a solid pick for a romantic trip to Portland.
King + Sofa BedMount Hood Suite

King + Sofa BedStudio Suite with Willamette River View
