Location. With a reputation for timeless elegance in vibrant downtown Portland, Ore., the Benson Hotel has been in operation since 1913, and is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Fashioned in French Second-Empire style, the Benson Hotel soars 14 stories into the Oregon sky, revealing a glazed terra-cotta and brick façade, with arched windows and a French mansard roof. Travelers who appreciate the finer things in life can enjoy this tasteful monument of service and style, which is conveniently positioned near the Chinese Gardens and Pioneer Square. For entertainment, guests are within walking distance of shopping, sightseeing, galleries, performing arts theaters and museums. Located 20 minutes from the Portland International Airport, limousine and Town Car service can be arranged by either the concierge or the front door staff.
Hotel Features. Patronized by vacationers and corporate executives, the Benson Hotel offers one of the most comprehensive hotel experiences around. Guests can begin their day with coffee around the lobby fireplace, where a selection of newspapers are available. The London Grill's executive chef, Xavier Bauser, has crafted perhaps the most accomplished menu in the Rose City. Other hotel amenities include gorgeous banquet halls, conference rooms and a fitness center.

Guestrooms. The Benson Hotel offers an impressive cast of accommodations that range from standard guestrooms to penthouses and presidential suites. With reproduction period furniture and revival Italian Renaissance décor, each arrangement is an adventure in taste and sophistication. Modern amenities include high-speed wireless Internet access, complimentry wired Internet access, fully stocked minibars and Swedish Temper-pedic mattresses. Carefully nurtured for nine decades and now thoughtfully restored, guests can appreciate the comfort and peaceful ambience that permeate each guestroom accommodation.

Expert Tip. Making an impression both publicly and privately, the staff usually places delicious Oregon-grown apples in the lobby, and leaves weather notices beside evening treats with turndown service.
Please note: This property is a nonsmoking hotel.
