4- and 5-star hotels in Portland
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in Portland, from 5-star addresses on the central grid to a 4-star on Northeast Alberta Street. It is for travellers weighing a downtown base against a neighbourhood stay, with guest ratings running from 4.4 to 4.8 out of 5.
Staying in Portland
Portland's compact core and distinct neighbourhoods make it straightforward to navigate, and public transit, cycling and walking are common ways to get around. Food carts, coffee shops and breweries are part of the local scene, alongside museums, performance venues and tax-free shopping. The weather is mild and wet for much of the year, with dry, warm summers, and downtown puts you within walking distance of Pioneer Courthouse Square, the Willamette River and transit lines. Almost all of these hotels have addresses on Southwest streets in the same central grid: Southwest Broadway, Southwest Washington Street, Southwest Morrison Street, Southwest 11th and 15th Avenues, Southwest Naito Parkway and South Harbor Way. With ratings from 4.4 to 4.8 out of 5, the list works for couples, families and business travellers.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Portland International Airport (PDX) is about 12 miles northeast of downtown and is served by MAX light rail's Red Line, which takes roughly 40 minutes to the city centre; taxis, ride-shares and shuttles are also available. By car, Interstate 5 and Interstate 84 connect Portland to other parts of Oregon, Washington and beyond, and Amtrak trains stop at Union Station near downtown. Once in the city, MAX light rail, buses and the Portland Streetcar cover many areas, and walking and biking are popular, especially in the central districts.
When to go
Late spring through early autumn brings the driest and warmest weather, and July and August are the hottest and sunniest months. The Portland Rose Festival in June draws crowds, while winter is cool and wet but indoor attractions and holiday events remain open. May or September often have pleasant conditions and lighter crowds than midsummer, and rain is common outside summer, so a waterproof layer is useful.
