Experience historic charm in our downtown Portland hotel
The Benson, a Coast Hotel welcomes you to the heart of downtown Portland with historic charm, impeccable service and unique amenities. Guests have visited this iconic hotel for over 100 years – and as soon as you enter our elegant lobby, with crystal chandeliers, walnut wood and Italian marble floors, you’ll understand why. Step onto our Historic Stairwell and celebrate Portland’s rich history through over 160 photos and stories, displayed within a 12-story “mini-museum” that is unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
Updated rooms and suites offer a wide range of thoughtful perks – from deluxe bedding to free basic wi-fi and organic plush bathrobes and slippers. Pamper yourself in one of our suites, which boast sweeping city views and luxurious details.
Savor steaks and cigars at El Gaucho, Northwest’s iconic steakhouse, or host a private event in The London Grill.
Meetings and special occasions flourish in our one-of-a-kind venues, which include expansive ballrooms, flexible conference space and even a private wine cellar. We hope you’ll take time to discover Portland during your visit too; our prime location makes exploring easy.
During your time with us, you’ll enjoy the amazing hospitality and attention to detail that sets us apart. Allow our team to assist with everything from Notary Public services to event tickets, shoeshines and even companion fish in your room.
