Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“The recently opened Dossier (formerly the Westin Portland) is a luxury experience all the way. Packed with luxe furnishings, interesting art, and plenty of locally inspired amenities, this hotel is an excellent choice if you want a high-end hotel experience in the heart of downtown Portland.”

Frommers review:

“Dossier opened in summer 2017 after a complete remake of a rather bland Westin hotel from the 1980s. The new owners have given it a sophisticated elegance without sacrificing comfort. The lobby is surprisingly small and seems somewhat disconnected from the rest of the hotel.”

Telegraph review:

“This 20-storey, 205-room modern block sits in a prime location in downtown Portland, offering a stylish boutique-style option for travellers with comfortable, well-equipped rooms and an elegant lobby and restaurant.”

Forbes review:

“Nestled just blocks away from Portland’s living room (Pioneer Courthouse Square) is the newly opened Dossier. Pairing great accessibility to the area’s main attractions with sublimely luxurious touches, Dossier provides an ideal home base while visiting the City of Roses.”

Comfy rooms, great shower, super location. Would stay there again

Very friendly staff, great facilities. Room & bed very comfy, shower was hot very quickly, which is always a plus to save water :) Amenities in the room were seamless. The location is really nice, lots of food carts around, and we can be on the East side within 25m by foot.

The free coffee in the morning often runs out, and it takes a while to replace it. That said it's brewed on demand, which is nice, and it is good coffee :) Also, there's a really nice coffee shop just across the street A Roku, Chromecast or any streaming capability in the rooms would be very appreciated :) Costs nothing, makes people happy after a long day of walking

We loved staying at the dossier- it was relaxing and enjoyable.

We loved the building- very easy to access and had great decor. The rooms were spacious and cold (perfect for the hot weekend). The valet and staff were extremely friendly. The rooms come with bath tubs which have icnredible water pressure and hot water and were relaxing to use. The downstairs bar restaurant was great and had oysters- we ate there twice.

We had to move rooms mid-stay due to an AC issue but the staff was SO friendly and gave us an upgraded room for no additional charge! Honestly no issue with the room upgrade and they handled it efficiently.

Amazing stay, lovely rooms, clean, friendly, great location.

Room sas great. I booked a deluxe king (deluxe rooms are essentially the same as standard but on higher floors) and loved it. Good size, clean, comfy bed. very nice bathroom with a nice tub and separate shower. I actually booked a different hotel that was part of a hotel group I love and it turned out terrible. I came over here to see a room and the standard room I saw was so much better than the other dump of a place, and practically the same price with a last minute deal. I had Dossier on my list but it was too expensive at the time of booking, so I was happy about the last minute deal. I stayed at the other hotel for one night and cancelled the rest of the stay, and moved here for 5 nights. It was delightful. Nice city view, great location in the middle of downtown with easy access to the MAX and tram and lots of places to eat. Lobby was very welcoming. Elevators and hallways were kept clean. Room was super clean. There's even nespresso machines with local roastery pods, a minibar, which was great. I was able to hit Trader Joe's and grab some snacks to keep in the fridge for my stay. I essentially had breakfast in my room every day. Coffee machine was malfunctioning but the service team came and replaced it. That was the only issue in the room, and solved promptly. I'll be staying there again in June. I had booked the other place but this is so much nicer for just a little bit more.

Lobby staff was overall great, except for a few little things. They advertise that you will receive a welcome drink and a $5 kiosk credit. Neither was offered. When I asked the next day, they said that was no longer a thing (the $5 credit) and the website needed to be updated. The welcome drink was a bottle of water or a coke or sprite. Basically worthless. Not such a big deal but felt like dishonest advertising. They were training new staff, which is understandable since there is a staff shortage everywhere, but it did make for a hit or miss service experience. Certain times, they were greeting and paying attention. other times they were not even looking up. Nobody was unfriendly, just at times indifferent. Towels could be improved. Bedsheets were fine but very thin (could see right through the bottom sheet to the matress).

Beautiful rooms and friendly staff

Room was really well-appointed, with a super comfortable bed and a gorgeous bathroom with a huge shower. The whole place felt classy. Front desk staff (shout out to Micah) were so delightful and welcoming. Loved that they offered a tea kettle and really nice teas! Convenient location, lots of stuff within easy walking distance.

I wish coffee were available until 9:30 or 10. No streaming services on the TV (it’s 2025 and a Roku costs like, $25). They seemed understaffed — no daily housekeeping, slow valet at peak times, etc. Everyone was SO friendly but it seemed like they needed a few extra hands.

Beautiful and quiet hotel in a convenient location. Spacious and comfortable room. Very nice looking bathroom with a lot of natural light. Close to restaurants, downtown and freeway entrance. Totally recommend staying here

The restaurant's menu is a bit limited but it is always handy to have a restaurant by the lobby

Great hotel for solo female traveler!!

Beds are comfortable, the room was very clean, and I love that they have classical music playing low when you walk into the room! I love how friendly & approachable the staff were. The hotel itself is a beautiful, classic, grown & sexy vibe. Have to give a s/o to Bartenders Matthew & Cj. They were a joy to chat with while at the bar! Nice location, Nordstrom, Starbucks, & CVS 2 blocks away. A lot of food places (but everything closes kinda early), high-end shopping 4-5 blocks away, very walkable area even at night & only 6-8 blocks from the waterfront!!

My only complaint is there was no pool or hotub, which would have been amazing after the long hikes I did.

Staff was exceptional as they were all very welcoming and helpful. We checked in with Mica and he was great! It's great value and located in the center of town. The food at the restaurant was also good. Bathroom is definitely nice and roomy.

I would have preferred to have the mirror outside not inside the bathroom. But I would stay there again.

Great stay for a girl's getaway.

The beds were like a warm hug and very cushy. The shower had great water pressure and the rain shower was a fun bonus. The location was perfect for me and my daughter visiting Powell's books, the Portland Saturday Market and a concert at Moda Center.

The only thing that would have been nice to know was that after a certain time we needed to enter through a side door. We figured it out though.

Very good hotel to walk around the old town, and close to the airport.

The room we stayed in was clean, and comfortable. Soft mattress were okay. The large bathroom was nice and would be nicer with a lock on the door. The coffee machine is a great plus, if you need that.

The thermostat does not work: it's locked at around 70F (during winter at least). Given the hotel, I did not expect an extra $6 for a bottle of water sitting on the room's desk: that felt cheap.

I would definitely stay again.

The room was perfect and quiet. Great view. The staff and the accommodations were excellent. Super dog friendly, which was a plus. Easy valet parking. Delicious restaurant downstairs.

The only thing I would say is it would be nice if there was a small green space to take your dog out to go potty. You have to walk around downtown and there are no garbage cans.

The thermostat on the gym needs to be adjustable. I was dying in there and only the maintenance man (who had gone home for the day) had the ability to turn the heat down. Bar at the attached restaraunt was very expensive. My double Amaro cost me $36.

Amazing, friendly staff and excellent stay

The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The bed was gigantic and super comfy. On-site bar was hotel priced but nice, and the restaurants within walking distance were fantastic.

Local transit can feel a bit sketchy, but that's nothing to do with the hotel which was fantastic. We had an excellent experience at Dossier and love the location.
