Property | Hotel Fifty

With its ideal downtown location, the totally new, totally re-concepted Hotel Fifty is Portland’s up-and-coming hip hotel. The 140-room full-service boutique hotel, overlooking the Willamette River and Tom McCall Waterfront Park, resides literally where “downtown meets the river.”

From here guests may choose to experience one or many of Portland’s many beautiful gardens or museums. Enjoy any of several walking tours emanating from downtown. Take in a performance of theatre, symphony, opera or ballet. Shop the diverse districts close by. Tour and taste at the city’s plentiful internationally renowned micro-breweries. Or day-trip to the Willamette Valley, home to 140-plus wineries and vineyards.

Additionally, Portland is a paradise for nature enthusiasts’ and outdoor recreation lovers. Miles of paved paths and scenic trails in and outside the city limits – much through 37,000 acres of urban parks and along the Columbia and Willamette Rivers -- are perfect for hikers and cyclists of all skill levels. Nearby the Columbia River Gorge and Multnomah Falls await exploration.

Hotel Fifty is also popular for small meetings and social events. Two private function rooms accommodate up to eighty guests. Plus Portland’s celebrated light-rail transit system (MAX) provides easy access to the Oregon Convention Center, as well as the airport and all of downtown.

The city of Portland, boasting vast choices of some of Oregon’s undisputed finest dining, attractions, activities and events, is a destination equally well-suited for business and leisure travelers. And the best to see and do here is at Hotel Fifty’s doorstep.
