>> Hotel guides >> Portland >> Benson hotel

The Benson is a luxury hotel in Portland's Pearl District.  It blends boutique hotel flair with historic class (the building was built in 1912).  Guests in all rooms can choose between Tempur-pedic beds and plush pillow-top beds.   The Benson has luxury hotel staples like complementary bath robes in every room, fireplaces in its suites and triple thread-count sheets.  These elements make the Benson one of Portland's best luxury hotel deals.    

The hotel has earned glowing hotel reviews, being awarded 4 diamonds by AAA.  The glitzy London Grill serves top-notch cuisine and has extra perks like private seating in the restaurant's wine cellar.  Other eating options include the Palm Court, a classic lobby restaurant, and El Gaucho, an Argentine-themed eatery that brings an element of fun to the Benson's dining scene.  

The Benson Hotel is located in Downtown Portland.  The nearby Pearl District is one of the most exciting neighborhoods for arts, restaurants and culture in the entire city.  Cafés and restaurants range from fine dining establishments to breezy, laid-back bistros.  There is even a contingent of street-food vendors selling high quality fare (these are no mere hot dog carts).  

The Pearl is filled with art galleries.  There is an "art walk" on the first Thursday of every month when galleries open their doors to the public.  

Other Downtown institution include the Pioneer Place Mall, a great place to get away from a rainy afternoon, and the Portland Art Museum, which has an impressive collection and routinely hosts international traveling exhibits.
