The Heathman Hotel, Portland
Expert reviews
“If you’re looking for a sophisticated travel experience in the City of Roses, look no further than The Heathman Hotel. Located in the heart of downtown Portland, this iconic hotel boasts an impressive art collection, eclectic decor, and a library that would put The Beast to shame.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Portland.
“Next to Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall (“the Schnitz” to locals), this old-school, boutique downtown hotel boasts doormen clad like British Beefeaters, and a library full of signed first editions from authors who have stayed here.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Portland.
“The Heathman Hotel is one of Portland’s premier boutique hotels, and has been an icon of the city’s skyline for more than eight decades. Located in the heart of downtown’s cultural and financial district, The Heathman’s charm, history and accessibility make it a favorite choice of business, celebrity and leisure travelers alike.”
“A historic property built in 1927 and situated in Portland’s downtown theatre district, the Heathman is known for its staid interior, costumed Beefeater doormen and as a setting in the bestselling erotic novel 50 Shades of Grey. Like old money, it’s grand but never flashy.”

Pleasant, comfortable and quiet.
Coffee was good. Decent menu. Friendly wait staff.
Greasy - I had the corned beef hash and the brisket beef was gristly. The potatoes and seasonal veg sautéed in too much oil for my personal taste.

Nice and quite a big room. Good shower. The staff was friendly and helpful. Reasonably good location within walking distance to the train station.
The door of the bathroom couldn't close properly. Our room seemed to be a bedroom connected to another living room (?) which was a bit weird - we locked the connecting door so no biggie.

The Heathman is close to the metro line that goes to the airport. I was celebrating my wedding and the hotel gave us an upgrade to an awesome room with a beautiful view.

A constant ebb/flow,based on room ( mechanical noise kept me awake,my partner slept just fine,but a little," stuffy,"also) location of what I suspected was the elevator

Very good
I liked the unlimited free bike rental, so useful during my trip! All employees were so friendly and great. I enjoyed having an electric kettle in the room.
The formal breakfast was oriented for more leisure than I needed for a business trip. I had been excited about the in-room french press but honestly the facilities in the room made it difficult to use: how to clean, etc.

Beautiful downtown Portland hotel with charm and great customer service
Beautiful hotel in downtown Portland. Each room has tons of character and the beds very comfortable (on the firm side, not soft). Asked for an extra comforter when I made the reservation, and it was waiting in the room when we arrived. Staff are very attentive, and THEY PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS! Check out time is 12pm, which is nice because it gives you time to explore the city a little longer if you like. Breakfast was great at hotel restaurant. Hotel allowed us to keep our bags at the hotel during the day after we checked out while we explored Portland before our train left. We will definitely stay here again. DO NOT HESITATE TO STAY HERE!
Water pressure was low, but was not a deal breaker. We traveled on a Tuesday night and restaurant/bar was closed (closes at 9pm on Monday/Tuesday)by the time we arrived, so no room service after a long day of travel so that sucked.

Perfect spot to explore Portland
Great location.Wonderful, spacious room with comfortable beds.The library was such a fun unique space. The happy hour in the restaurant was great.
Our room was not cleaned. We ordered room service and it never came.

Beautifully renovated historic hotel in a great location
We were looking for a well-priced, dog friendly hotel in downtown Portland although we don't usually travel with our dog. The Heathman exceeded our expectations. The reception staff were very caring about our dog's comfort and immediately suggested a water bowl for her. Our room was spacious and well-appointed, with a fresh coffee press and a very comfortable bed. There is a wonderfully inviting, lounge area with books that one can borrow and would actually like read, as well as board and card games for all ages and interests and comfortable club chairs and tables. A very inviting space. The location is fantastic, close to theaters and the concert hall and within walking distance of excellent restaurants and coffeshops. The restauarant is excellent both for dinner and breakfast. Better yet, there is a park within a block where we could walk the dog.
Nothing not to like

Lovely apartment-style room, well-appointed & extremely comfortable. Amazing location and kind/helpful staff. 10/10 boutique vibes
Lack of view / indirect sunlight in my room, loud a/c, resto / room service seemed to always be closed / unavailable, crappy std cable tv with no casting options (ended up setting up my own Roku tv stick)

The Heathman Hotel won’t disappoint you.
Beautiful boutique hotel. Cathryn and her staff went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. While small the room was comfortable. We enjoyed walks in the downtown area and always felt safe. We enjoyed Portland coffee in the beautiful library each morning.
The hotel restaurant was very good but we would have appreciated more menu items.

Great location and comfortable room. Staff were excellent.
Poor restaurant staff were too overworked. We left without ordering. Stayed here years ago, and it was posh. Now, the staff are doing their best, but corners seem cut.

Pleasant, helpful staff make this historic venue a delightful surprise
Location, history, and staff The grandchildren loved the places nearby and the Library room where they played chess
They were really busy the day we arrived and didn’t have room fully outfitted, something we didn’t discover until evening. A phone and a helpful staff member go us squared away

It was short but restful and lots too do in a the area.
The location was amazing, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
There was only valet parking for $55 a night approximately 1/3 the price of the room.

Definitely the best hotel in the art district
Everything. They welcome pets! This is a beautiful hotel with class; hard to find anymore. Staff were awesome!
The bathroom in our King Size room was a weird L shape configuration; difficult to maneuver, but still a lovely experience.

Very nice accommodations but check the extra fees
Location, clean comfortable rooms. Not much street noise on the 10th floor. The library was nice to hang out in.
Loud HVAC rumbling all night, extra resort fees $29/night, expensive valet parking $55/night that was horribly backed up when we arrived. The fridge didn't have a freezer and was those minimal ones that just hold a row of drinks.

The dinner dragged the experience down.
The pris fixe dinner was only average. And then when we got back from the theater the Tavern was closed and we missed our desserts and a drink.
21 March 2025
Very good
Loved the location! We were walking distance to lots of restaurants and bars. Our room was spacious and having a separate living room area from the bedroom was really nice so we could spread out a bit and it felt more "homey" versus just a hotel room with a bed. The staff was wonderful and friendly and we enjoyed ordering cocktails from the bar and sitting in the library at the end of the night before heading up to our room to relax.
The only improvement I'd suggest is to have drinks available for purchase. We wanted a bottle of water and they didn't have any to purchase (cold or room temp) and the nearest convenience store was a bit of a walk.

10/10
Hospitality team was 10/10! Everyone we interacted with was fantastic. Bed was comfy, room was clean, zero issues staying here. Food at The Tavern was so good! Loved that the Azar chocolatier was attached to the hotel. We were there almost daily!
Nothing. I would absolutely recommend this hotel and I would stay here again.

Will come back again and again and again!
Always so nice, it is gorgeous inside and the staff is always so insanely friendly. It is our go to hotel in Portland for the staff alone!
Not a thing, it’s perfect

Great location! Beautiful library and coffee area. The artwork on the walls was beautiful and I loved how local artists are supported.
Our bathroom was a little tight with minimal room to move around. However it was clean and well appointed!

Clean rooms, helpful staff, and great location.
Clean rooms, helpful staff, and great location in the Cultural District of Portland. The Heathman is perfect for Oregon Symphony concerts at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall and Portland's Farmers Market during the summer months. Great restaurants surround the hotel to include the Sesame Collection of unique restaurants and fine dining. The Heathman has become our stay vacation spot in Portland.
