Description:
- Its restoration has made this hotel the classic jewel of downtown and the Pioneer Square neighborhood. Built in 1912 by lumber baron Simon Benson, the warmth of its woodwork and old charm take you back to another time. Local and national celebrities have stayed here. Sit in the lounge and keep your eyes out for a movie star, Portland Trailblazers basketball player or head of industry. While the property is considered expensive among locals, the service and luxury make it worth every penny.

I love the Benson. Their lobby is very old-timey, service is great, lots of chairs to sit-where I often do in front of the massive fireplace in the winter. It's everyday drama...

Categorically the best lobby in Portland. Old world style: wood paneling, chandeliers, a grand staircase overlooking plush sofas and lovely carpets. I sit by the fire when it's...

Message from Benson Hotel
The Benson Hotel, located in the heart of downtown Portland, Oregon, provides travelers a truly unique experience among even the most distinct Portland hotels. The Benson Hotel is convenient to sightseeing, shopping, galleries, performing arts theatres and museums. The London Grill restaurant, located on the lower level of The Benson Hotel, was recently awarded the AAA 4-Diamond award for service and style. The London Grill is the only one of many fine Portland restaurants to have been awarded this distinction. Coming to Portland for a convention? Portland's recently expanded Convention Center is within easy reach via the city's sophisticated light rail system, MAX, and it's free. The Benson Hotel has 13 beautiful meeting rooms and banquet facilities with a full catering service serving up to 600 people. We look forward to your visit.
