Vintage Hollywood salon
Classic film screenings and mid-century cocktails give this gilded 1912 building the feel of an old Hollywood salon.
“sparkling crystal chandeliers drip from the ornate gilt-edged ceilings and cushy pale-gold chairs invite you to kick off your kitten heels, mix a Sidecar, and stay awhile.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
This 100-year-old hotel is a rare symbol of over-the-top grandeur in a city known for its pared-down style and earthy simplicity.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open into Goose Hollow, placing Providence Park and the MAX light rail just steps away.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling drapery and vintage glass lamps dress the bedrooms, while black-and-white film stills hang on every floor.
The gym
The second-floor fitness room has Technogym machines and Peloton bikes, with yoga kits sent to guest rooms on request.
Bar
The Driftwood Room
Bartenders pour from an ornate absinthe fountain along the curved counter, serving Manhattan flights beneath the timber-slatted ceiling.
Restaurant
Gracie's
Plush velvet banquettes curve beside a grand piano, where the kitchen turns out breakfast and weekend brunch beneath gilded mouldings.
How it began
Former Oregon congressman Rufus Mallory commissioned the property in 1912, outfitting the original ballroom with an orchestra pit.
