"Built in 1927, the Heathman, a much-loved Portland landmark that catapulted to international stardom when it cameoed in 50 Shades of Grey, got a fashionable face lift, and those used to its old-money library looks will either love or hate the 10-story historic hotel’s bright and stylish refresh. What hasn’t changed are the opulently costumed doormen, prime downtown location (next door to the popular Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall), and luxe downstairs tea court. You’ll be eating well and often during your Portland stay (including at the Heathman's own Headwaters restaurant), so best take advantage of the hotel’s small but mighty gym, with its mini rock-climbing wall, punching bag, and live-streaming Peloton bikes." - Jen Stevenson
