At the heart of Portland Downtown, The Nines Hotel Portland opened its doors in 2008. The building was originally created in 1909 and served as the spectacular store Meier & Frank, which was heralded as the largest retailer of the Mississippi. The hotel was named in honour of ‘dressed to the nines’ fashion. The artistry spirit remains in its walls which are adorned with original pieces and predominantly featuring the timeless Tiffany blue that harmonises with the classic luxury décor. Incredible rooftop views can be enjoyed at the renowned Departure restaurant, or from the comfort of your room and suite that are overlooking the beautiful atrium or city.
