Where to Stay

The Benson: Portland’s Grand 1913 Historic Hotel

A Portland institution since 1913, The Benson is the city’s grand historic hotel: Italian marble, crystal chandeliers and a lobby that feels like a movie set. Generations of presidents and performers have stayed here, and the welcome is still grand.

On Broadway in the heart of downtown, the hotel is a five-minute walk from Powell’s City of Books and an easy stroll to the Pearl District and the riverfront.

The landmark lobby is the star: marble staircases, crystal chandeliers and woodwork from a vanished era, backed by modern rooms and Curio Collection by Hilton comforts.

Perfect for history lovers, romantic weekends and anyone who wants to sleep inside a Portland landmark.
