The eagerly awaited first Ritz-Carlton property in the Pacific Northwest, The Ritz-Carlton Portland is now open. Centrally located in downtown Portland it offers panoramic views of the Rose City. The 251-room property is housed within a 460-foot crystalline tower imagined by GBD Architects. The interiors, designed by HKS Hospitality Interiors, marry the magic of the wilderness with modern luxury. Forest Hall, a lobby mimicking the lush landscape of the region is the gateway to the hotel.
From rustic logs bound with copper, a nod to the 1845 coin toss that led to the naming of the city, to maps depicting the iconic 1804 Lewis and Clark expedition that challenged the adventurous spirits of America’s pioneers. Room interiors evoke the Oregon forest and misty rivers with vertical panels in sensual fabrics, soft carpets, luxury leather goods, and modern interpretations of historic travel trunks. Located on the 20th floor, the hotel’s signature restaurant Bellpine draws inspiration from Oregon’s bountiful Willamette Valley, the state’s farms, ranchers, rivers, and the Pacific Ocean.
The 19th floor, called Cloudbreak on Nineteen is a luxurious haven to nurture the mind, body, and spirit. It houses the Hidden Mountain Lake Infinity Pool, a zero-edge infinity pool with panoramic views of the Cascade and the spa whose design is inspired by the unfolding petals of a Portland rose. Roses also feature in the bespoke room scent created for the hotel by Antica Farmacista, capturing the spirit of the city and it’s botanical majesty.
