Hotel at a Glance: The Royal Sonesta Portland Downtown

Tucked into the vibrant heart of downtown Portland, The Royal Sonesta Portland Downtown radiates the city’s storied legacy and thriving modernity. Once the grand Lipman Wolfe Department Store opened in 1912, this storied structure has been thoughtfully restored to meld architectural grace with the comforts of a boutique hotel. Each common area—from the show-stopping lobby to the cozy lounge—echoes whispers of early 20th-century elegance, yet resonates with the spirit of today’s traveler: worldly, discerning, and inspired by mid‑century design. With cultural gems like Powell’s City of Books, the Portland Art Museum, and Tom McCall Waterfront Park mere steps from your door, the hotel situates guests at the center of both Portland’s heritage and its contemporary pulse.

Within, 135 suites offer an evocative nod to the golden age of travel—complete with bold furnishings and fine finishes, built for both business and romance . Complementing this refined accommodation are modern essentials crafted for today’s guest: 24/7 business and fitness facilities, adaptable 8,000 sq ft of meeting space, and thoughtful services that honor both your comfort and convenience. Whether hosting an event inspired by Portland’s independent ethos or indulging in a late‑night Peloton session, you’ll discover a stay that balances historic pride with contemporary refinement.

Portland, OR: A Tapestry of Innovation and Independent Spirit

Portland, Oregon, stands as a proud beacon of the Pacific Northwest—a city shaped by its pioneering heritage and celebrated for its bold individuality. Nestled between the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, Portland was founded at the crossroads of commerce and exploration, and today it remains deeply rooted in its legacy of craftsmanship, sustainability, and civic pride. The city's tree-lined streets and historic districts, like the Pearl District and Old Town Chinatown, echo the era of 19th-century expansion while embracing a modern ethos of green urban planning and forward-thinking design.

Portland is more than just a city—it’s a cultural force. Known for its fiercely independent artisans, chefs, brewers, and makers, the city cultivates a thriving creative economy without compromising its natural surroundings. The iconic view of Mount Hood in the distance underscores the region's profound connection to nature, while Forest Park—one of the country’s largest urban forests—offers miles of trails just minutes from downtown. With a reputation for literary depth, environmental activism, and a farm-to-table culinary movement, Portland has carved out a distinct identity: fiercely local, historically mindful, and always evolving.

Great stay at Royal Sonesta Portland – big thanks to Alarik and housekeeping Stayed here for four nights and had a great experience. The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and feels safe. Parking is secure, and the valet team is polite and professional every time you interact with them. Special mention to Alarik at the front desk. We arrived early and weren’t sure if we’d be allowed to check in, but he got us into a room right away without making a big deal of it. I’m vegetarian, and while the hotel didn’t have obvious veg options for breakfast, Alarik personally made sure I was taken care of — went out of his way to help. That kind of effort sticks with you. Also want to acknowledge the housekeeping team — I didn’t catch their names, but the room was spotless every day, which I really appreciated. Would definitely recommend staying here. Solid property, great staff, and people who genuinely seem to care.

Love this Royal Sonesta for so many reasons Just stayed here for a second year in a row. Just a short one night stay with a friend to celebrate our July birthdays. We both absolutely love everything about this hotel. Wouldn’t change a thing. This hotel really provides a much higher quality of everything in every category for the price paid. It’s a beautiful, spotlessly clean in every area and plushly decorated. It’s funky vs classic which really just adds to the charm. The staff is welcoming, friendly and accommodating adding to the overall comfort the minute you walk in thru the stunning lead glass doors. This hotel is probably the best bang for your buck in every aspect in downtown Portland all will always be our first choice when doing a staycation.

Room great, restaurant below awful! The room was amazing and staff was nice. I read great reviews of the restaurant. It was abysmal!!! I have seen and tasted better breakfast at super 8 which was complimentary by the way!! They had apple pastries which looked and tasted like they were out of a hostess box, the eggs were ok, the potatoes were obviously frozen and not cooked well, and the sausage was tough and bland. The only good thing was the fruit. The waitress did nothing but tell us to sit anywhere and bring us our check and expected a tip. I gave $5 on a $60 bill because we refilled our own drinks (unlike other patrons) and she didn’t do anything. Yes that terrible breakfast was $60.
