The Ritz-Carlton, Portland
Oregon
The Ritz-Carlton, Portland uses the Pacific Northwest’s landscapes as a reference for an urban hotel. Its downtown setting is complemented by elevated spaces that open out towards the city, giving guests several reasons to look beyond the room. Bellpine occupies the 20th floor, pairing panoramic views with cooking that currently brings Pacific Northwest ingredients together with Mexican influences. Meadowrue adds a different direction through Japanese-inspired dishes and cocktails. Wellness facilities sit one floor below. The Hidden Mountain Lake infinity pool is surrounded by full-height windows, alongside a fitness facility and movement studio. The spa adds eucalyptus steam rooms, saunas, snow showers and relaxation space. That concentration of dining and wellness upstairs gives the hotel a useful balance between days exploring Portland and time spent within a more self-contained setting.
