"Rooms named after famous musicians who have hit the stage at the Ballroom...staying here gives you same-night access to otherwise sold-out shows. Al's Den in the basement hosts more live music"

"Portland's only downtown waterfront hotel. This alone would be enough to recommend the hotel, but its quiet boutique-hotel atmosphere would make it an excellent choice even if it weren't on the water."

"Downtown's only riverfront hotel is set next to the Tom McCall Waterfront Park. The plush modern rooms are decorated in sand tones, and make the most of the wonderful views."
Travel + Leisure
"Designed to resemble a grand Victorian seaside hotel... the waterfront RiverPlace easily has the city’s best Willamette River views."

"Part of an upscale commercial and residential complex, this conservative refuge offers a livelier location than the condo-warehouse district where the Avalon is situated."
