Portland, Oregon: The Nines, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Portland; hotel review

The Nines, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Portland  

525 SW Morrison, downtown, (877) 229-9995.  331 rooms.  Fitness center.  Parking $47/night. 

Check-in for this colorful hotel takes place on the 8th-floor of this historic Meier & Frank Building--just off the striking 7-story atrium lobby--and guest rooms occupy the top nine floors.  The Nines, a Luxury Collection Hotel recently completed a renovation and is now a LEED Silver hotel.  The lobby, guest rooms, and hallways feature 419 pieces of commissioned original contemporary art by local artists, including sculptures, paintings, and installations.  Each room is “dressed to the nines” with colorful, stylish furniture and features.

The farm-to-table Urban Farmer restaurant, which occupies a corner of the lobby, serves a well-reviewed breakfast with don’t-miss homemade English muffins.  On the top level, the rooftop restaurant Departure serves upscale Asian fusion cuisine and offers breathtaking views of Portland’s cityscape.  Two rooftop dining patios overlooking the Willamette River, the nearby mountains, and downtown’s Pioneer Square.  If the wine list or the city’s largest saké selection don’t get you excited, ask for a Seoul Spring cocktail--a smooth combination of Jinro soju, bamboo syrup, and lime.

The historic Pioneer Courthouse is just across the street.
