The Nines, a Luxury Collection Hotel 

An enclave of luxury amid Portland's downtown action, The Nines is equal parts historical and contemporary. While the guestrooms are sumptuously gorgeous, it's the excellent art collection, environmentally conscious approach, and superb rooftop restaurant that genuinely sets it apart.

Housed in a beautiful historic building, The Nines is a beacon of luxury in Portland. It all starts in the 8th-floor lobby, a light-filled atrium and the heart of the hotel. Filling the space with rainbow-coloured, contemporary furnishings somehow doesn't detract from its elegance. Attentive front desk staff are the kind to immediately soothe any lingering travel stress before you whisk away to a well-appointed guestroom, said to be 'dressed to the nines' (see what they did there?). The Nines is a place that honours its location and celebrates its history. Throughout the hotel, a collection of 400 locally commissioned pieces of art adorns the wall. It’s proactively reducing its carbon footprint and proudly celebrates its sustainability credentials, including rooftop rain harvesting and environmentally-minded amenities. Two excellent restaurants vie for the attention of guests and locals alike. Urban Farmer, a modern steakhouse in the atrium, focuses on sustainably sourced ingredients and a farm-to-table approach. Departure, located on the 15th-floor rooftop, serves a sensational Asian menu and far-reaching views over the city and river to the mountains beyond. After dinner, the Nines' cosy Library is the ideal place to order a nightcap, select a book from the vast collection, then curl up on a chesterfield sofa.
