About us
Located in the heart of the city’s Central Business District, Royal Sonesta Portland uniquely captures the proud, eclectic spirit of Oregon and its people. Reimagined from the site of one of Portland’s most renowned department stores, Royal Sonesta Portland transcends expectations to create a truly unique hotel experience. With whimsical and vintage touches at every turn, Royal Sonesta Portland invites you to explore not just the hotel itself but the diverse and engaging city it calls home. Our 8226 square feet of recently renovated meeting space has options you haven’t yet dreamt of — all with way more personality and pizzazz than you’re used to from a hotel. This is your event, your way, but we won’t leave all the details up to you. Our expert event staff provides personalized attention throughout the process, from the very first discussion to the moments after the last guest leaves. You’ll never go hungry, either, with catering from the on-site restaurant, Finch on Fifth, offering inventive cuisine that is sure to satisfy. Whether you’re hosting a meeting that’s brilliantly executed, a work function worthy of all your wonderful employees, or a dinner party that dazzles, our event space in the heart of downtown Portland is perfect for you. Not only are our 221 guest rooms decorated in a vibrant, eclectic style that you’re sure to love, but they’re also very spacious — at 300 to 850 square feet. Settle in and make yourself at home. Everything you need is here, from handy umbrellas (just in case it drizzles, it won’t rain on your parade) to wines from nearby Willamette Valley.
