The Nines, A Luxury Collection Hotel
A fashion-inspired downtown Portland hotel atop the historic Meier & Frank building, The Nines pairs art-filled rooms, a dramatic atrium and two destination restaurants with easy access to Pioneer Courthouse Square.
The Nines occupies the upper floors of the historic Meier & Frank department store building in downtown Portland, directly beside Pioneer Courthouse Square. The central location gives guests easy access to the city’s retail core, cultural venues and light rail.
The hotel’s name plays on the expression “dressed to the nines,” and the interiors embrace that fashion theme through bold colors, tailored fabrics and a large collection of contemporary art. Rooms are polished and energetic rather than understated.
The central atrium serves as the social heart, with lounges and seating beneath a soaring glazed roof. The hotel does not rely heavily on resort-style amenities, instead using design, art and dining to create its identity.
Urban Farmer provides a locally focused modern steakhouse, while Departure sits on the roof with panoramic city views and a pan-Asian menu. The two restaurants give the hotel unusually strong culinary range for a downtown business district property.
The Nines is best for travelers who want to stay at the absolute center of Portland and prefer a lively, design-conscious hotel to a quiet boutique. Its historic shell, art and rooftop dining give it a personality that extends well beyond the rooms.
