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.”

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.

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.

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.

Great value at an upscale hotel with an exceptional staff.
Beautiful public rooms including the huge, high-ceilings library and the cozy bar. The junior suite is very spacious with a comfy lounge and great bed. Best aspect of my stay: the wonderful staff starting with Brandon and Catherine. Attentive, friendly, caring—they help create a warm and welcoming environment. The Heathman is now my must stay Portland area hotel!

Central location and a nice value for a charming stay.
Beautiful and cool library with signed by author books. Spacious room.
The tavern food was alright, could have been better. Breakfast selection was not as varied as could be and the coq au vin was so so. Service however was lovely. The daily amenities charge should be explained better.

Beautiful setting for a downtown PDX getaway
The Heathman is centrally-located in Portland, and it's easy to walk to restaurants, shops, and bars downtown and even in the Pearl District. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed sitting in the beautiful library in the lobby to enjoy a drink while we read our books. The quiche in the restaurant was quite delicious for breakfast!
As it's downtown, there's some street noise - we heard the occasional siren and the garbage trucks at 5am on two out of three days of our stay - but I am a light sleeper. The valet parking is quite expensive. We found a city-owned lot a couple blocks away that was a fraction of the cost.

Great place to stay in Downtown Portland. Good value and location.
The room was billed as a suite, but is actually has a king bed, sofa and chair. But it was big enough for us to stow luggage without making the room look cluttered. The bed was comfortable, nice linens and thick towels. Everything clean. We had views of Downtown Portland holiday lights from several large windows. Met our needs.
We wanted to have breakfast in the cafe but they couldn't seat us because they were short-staffed. It was Christmas Day, so can't blame them! We had a great breakfast at the Hilton's Mayrose hotel cafe.

Festive Christmas getaway
Relaxing and festive holiday stay. Welcoming, professional, and friendly staff. Great location near Pioneer Square and wonderful restaurants. Especially loved sitting in the library with a glass of wine enjoying the Christmas ambiance.
Would have been a nice touch to have Christmas cookies and hot chocolate in the Lobby or Library. 🎄

Everything was fantastic! We will definitely be back
The Tavern restaurant was amazing. We went for drinks and a light bite before our show and in the morning for breakfast. Both times were top notch. All of the staff were very pleasant and accommodating. Excellent location!
The ONLY thing is the valet parking is sparse… but we’re in Portland for a show and parking is hard to get, in general
5 December 2024
Disappointing
Breakfast was great. Room was clean and quiet.
My car was parked by the valet and returned in the morning. Unfortunately, this establishment bottomed out my car and tore the protective fabric underneath. I called the hotel and asked to speak with management. I was told I'd receive a call back, but never did. I will NOT be staying at this hotel again.
4 December 2024
Fabulous
The check-in ambiance is more on the "efficient side", but the library and fireplace sitting area is quite comfortable!
The hotel confusion on check-in regarding the pre-paid reservation and the fees, and their locating the reservation in the computer.
2 December 2024
This is a great place to stay in downtown with many places easy to walk to.
The location was amazing. The room was perfect sized, although the bathroom was pretty small. The library and fireplace were highlights.
Parking was expensive and only by valet, although the valet service was impeccable
