The hotel

Taking over the top floors of downtown Portland’s iconic Meier & Frank building, The Nines delivers uncompromising luxury, style, and location. It’s just steps from Pioneer Square, one of the city’s leading landmarks, and is surrounded by shopping and dining opportunities. The Nines’ own food is faultless from top to bottom: the atrium’s Urban Farmer steakhouse accompanies farm-to-fork dishes with local moonshine punch; while the rooftop houses Departure, a sleek Asian dining room with Portland’s biggest saké list and two outdoor patios, offering city, Willamette River, and mountain views. But, if you’re just looking for a simple bar snack and cocktail after hitting the hotel’s fitness centre, The Library lets you sink into its leather sofas, cossetted in the comforts of this book-lined sanctuary.

Where is it

Right next to Pioneer Square, this hotel is well located for shopping, for Pearl District’s dining, and for a stroll to the microbreweries.

It’s also 2.3 miles to Portland Rose Gardens, and 2.9 miles to Washington Park.

Stayed here for a weekend trip during a gloriously lovely weather weekend in Portland. The hotel makes great use of an historic building, and has kept the large outside windows.

Stayed here for a weekend trip during a gloriously lovely weather weekend in Portland. The hotel makes great use of an historic building, and has kept the large outside windows. Unless you’re just using your room to sleep, ask for a room with outside facing windows (rather than courtyard facing). In fact, if you are particular about your room wishes, call and discuss the options with the front desk - lots of different kinds of rooms here. The hotel staff are friendly and I never saw a long line at reception. Breakfasts are good, and cocktails at the bar in the evening too. The surrounding area has some homeless, but not so different from any other US downtown area, until you get up near the main train station and China town which should be avoided at night. Comfortable beds, AC worked well, and room was very clean. Overall lovely stay. Read less

This was easily the worst among the so-called luxury hotels I have stayed in (I have stayed in well over 500 over the past twenty years).

This was easily the worst among the so-called luxury hotels I have stayed in (I have stayed in well over 500 over the past twenty years). There's that tell-tale sign of a poorly managed hotel as I waited a long time before I was checked in. I was initially put in a room so close to the lobby that I could hear the noise. When I asked to be put as far away from the elevators (or the lobby) as possible, I was given a room right next to the staff elevator (!). No apologies. The breakfast was equally atrocious. One morning I was told the wait would be 45 minutes. When I ordered eggs benedict, the dish itself was extremely hot but the food was stone cold (indeed, the spinach was partially frozen). When I asked to have it reheated, it came back at roughly the same temperature. I can go on, but it is not worth the while. It is NOT a luxury hotel, but basically a sub-standard Hilton or Marriott (and, indeed, it is owned by the latter). Read less

Loved some things…check in on the 8th floor, all staff excellent, .beds were very comfortable. Room left us puzzled. Very dusty chandeliers, no bath mat to prevent slipping in the tub, no soft close toilets hence they were VERY noisy. Requested a coffee machine, which was promptly delivered. Keurig, I guess Nespresso was not in the budget. … Read more

Shayne and Derek were awesome. They knew I was running up to Urban Farmer for a quick business lunch, and in the midst of a busy day-really took care of my vehicle. The hotel and restaurant is awesome as well. -D

Just stayed an amazing few days in this hotel.. I was checked in by Thomas and checked out by both Bradley and Thomas. They both exuded what customer service should be in the hospitality department. Very accommodating, professional, friendly and helpful. We were stranded d/t flight delay and Bradley was kind enough to extend our check out. … Read more

Very accommodating, professional, friendly and helpful. We were stranded d/t flight delay and Bradley was kind enough to extend our check out. The hotel is very beautiful and modern. The beds were firm enough and pillows were soft and the bed was just awesome. They had complimentary bottled water and dispensers for shampoo, bath wash and conditioner. Love that.. great service, great location (waking distance to Nike, Nordstrom, Starbucks) and trams right in front. The bellhop were so kind. Will definitely be back to stay again.. thanks Thomas and Bradley for your customer service. Read less
