The longer, warmer days of summer are here and the blue skies and open roads beckon Washingtonians to set out on an adventure to explore the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Whether it’s a leisurely weekend getaway or a longer vacation that integrates different sites and cities, be sure to make a stop in to thriving downtown Portland.

This vibrant urban center offers diverse attractions, from cultural institutions and stunning parks to walkable streets where you can shop, dine at renowned restaurants, and experience everything that makes Portland unique.

But one of the greatest parts about a summer trip is the rest to be had. Hilton Portland Downtown is one of the best options for a retreat after your daily explorations. 

First built in 1962 as the tallest building in Portland, the hotel is dedicated by Conrad Hilton, whose shovel used in the groundbreaking ceremony is still located in the lobby.  Since that time, there have been several remarkable renovations and today, the centrally located hotel features 455 guest rooms, 21 meeting rooms, a fitness studio, a restaurant and bar, and a market.

“At Hilton Portland Downtown, we understand what families and vacationers need when traveling — comfort, convenience, and a welcoming environment,” shared James Hackett, commercial director of the hotel. “We’re proud to offer a stay that feels like a home away from home — we’re here to help families and all travelers create memorable experiences right in the heart of the city.”

Each room is spacious and appointed with everything guests need. Comfortable beds with 250-thread-count triple sheeting, in-room coffee makers, signature bath products by Crabtree & Evelyn, and 65-inch HDTVs, there are sweeping city views on almost every floor and skyline views of the Cascade Mountains, West Hills, and downtown Portland. If you’re traveling with your pet, no problem – the property is pet-friendly.

Located just two blocks from the famous Pioneer Courthouse Square and surrounded by unique shops and world-class dining establishments, you’ll be able to plan day adventures to the waterfront park, local food cart pods, Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI), Powell’s Books, the Oregon Zoo, the Pittock Mansion, and much more.

Mike McLeod, general manager of the hotel, spoke of the Hilton’s central location and the opportunities that it provides for a truly experiential getaway. He said, “I love that so much is within reach of our hotels. Whether I am going to a meeting, shopping, or getting a bite to eat, it is all a short walk away.”
