The Benson Hotel

 

Overview

The Benson Hotel, which opened its doors in 1913, is one of Portland’s most beloved historic landmarks. Voted Best Portland Hotel in 2012 by The Oregonian, this elegant property has drawn visits from nearly every sitting president in the U.S. since William H. Taft, including Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Clinton and Obama. Not only does it boast an ideal location just steps from the dining, shopping and entertainment downtown, in the Pearl District and Pioneer Square, but after a day of exploring, guests can look forward to returning to a magnificent 12-story building with walls and pillars finished with now extinct Cicassian walnut and dazzling Austrian crystal chandeliers that hang from classical tall ceilings.

The service, rooms and amenities are no less impressive with staff exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Enjoy a peaceful night’s rest sleeping on the ultra-luxurious pillow-top and Tempur-Pedic beds, and discover plenty of special touches, like high-end bath amenities, plush organic bamboo bathrobes and slippers.
