About us

The Porter Portland, Curio Collection by Hilton Luxury Evolved Portland’s story is one of evolution, from its beginnings in the mid-1800s as a bustling timber seaport filled with tall ships, lumber barons and porters, to a powerhouse of technology and mecca of culinary arts and creativity it has become today. Regional wines, distilleries and restaurants are now as internationally renowned as Oregon’s natural splendor. Portland has always been recognized for its ardent independence, natural beauty and pioneer sensibilities. Even how Portland was named is rather unconventional. A toss of a copper penny by Asa Lovejoy from Boston, MA and Francis Pettygrove of Portland, ME in 1845 decided the name of Portland on the third flip of a two out of three toss of the coin. Nearly 170 years later, this deep thinking city remains liberated, beautiful, quirky, creative and always true to itself. The Porter Hotel resonates these very Portland sensibilities via its luxurious copper toned, sepia rich crafted beauty. Portland is recognized as the center of the hand wrought and finely crafted. Every facet of the hotel is thoughtful and beautiful without being forced, pretentious or pointless. It is just right in every detail. Service that Takes You There It is legend to ask a true Portlander where something is located and they will walk you there to make sure you find your destination. This endearing spirit of helpfulness is within each stay curated by everyone at The Porter Hotel. A porter by definition sees that your every need is met and The Porter’s delivery of service elevates it to an art form. Every detail from the ordinary to the complex matter because every guest matters.

Pioneer Courthouse Square, located in the heart of Downtown Portland, is an urban park affectionately known as the City’s “living room.” Prior to its grand opening in 1984, a private 501(c)(3) non-profit organization was created to manage programming and daily operations. The non-profit advocacy groups’ ongoing mission is to activate and enrich the environment of the City of Portland’s premiere public Park and gathering space for the benefit of Portland’s community members and visitors. Working in partnership with the City of Portland, the non-profit organization has successfully fulfilled the Park’s prominent public role with the help of community volunteers and private sector contributions. In recent years, through this unique public-private management model, the Park has been recognized as one of the most successful public spaces in the United States. Each year the Park is activated by more than 300 programmed event days made possible through community-driven initiative and the generosity of private sector sponsors throughout the Portland region. This scope of annual programming contains iconic annualized community traditions and unique ‘once in a lifetime’ events that reflect the civic role of the Park within its community and the evolving needs of the citizenry that it supports.

Park

Governor Tom McCall Waterfront Park is a 36.59-acre park located in downtown Portland, Oregon, along the Willamette River. After the 1974 removal of Harbor Drive (a good example of freeway removal), the park was opened to the public in 1978. The park covers 13 tax lots is owned by the City of Portland (Portland Parks and Recreation). The park was renamed in 1984 to honor Tom McCall, the Oregon governor who pledged his support for the beautification of the west bank of the Willamette River—harkening back to the City Beautiful plans at the turn of the century that envisioned parks and greenways along the river. The park is bordered by RiverPlace to the south, the Steel Bridge to the north, Naito Parkway to the west, and Willamette River to the east. In October 2012, Waterfront Park was voted one of America's ten greatest public spaces by the American Planning Association. The most common uses for the park are jogging, walking, biking, skateboarding, fountain play, lunching, basketball, fireworks viewing, Segwaying and boat watching. Due to its recreational use, lunch hours (11:00 am to 1:00 pm) are peak-use hours for the waterfront park. In addition to recreational use, the park is also highly used by bike and pedestrian commuters during rush hours (3:00 pm to 5:00 pm) because the park is easily accessible to the downtown Portland workforce and provides a pleasant, off street thoroughfare away from vehicular traffic. It is currently home to the Waterfront Blues Festival, Oregon Brewers Festival, Gay/Lesbian Pride Festival and the Bite of Oregon festival. The park is also the host of many Rose Festival events.

Additional Information

Additional details

The Porter’s Neighborhood:The Fountain District The neighborhood where The Porter is located, now called the Fountain District, began in the 19th century as a neighborhood of Jewish and Italian immigrants. This neighborhood adjacent to the Willamette River was filled with delicatessens, mercantiles, synagogues, residences and entertainment with the Portland Civic Auditorium. The Porter’s Portland Exchange market, Neapolitan wood fired pizza and restaurant offerings echo those vibrant ethnic food purveyors of long ago. Nationally Celebrated: Proclaimed the “Most Important Urban Spaces Since the Renaissance” As was the case with many cities, the neighborhood went into steep decline by the 1950s. To counter urban decline, the neighborhood began two decades of urban renewal. The highlight of this effort culminated in a public space designed by internationally renowned urban architect Lawrence Halprin, and comprised of interconnected walkways, plazas, and system of fountains. The fountains called The Sequence, are designed to emulate the Cascade Mountain Range watershed beginning with the Source and culminating at the Ira Keller Fountain. Ada Louise Huxtable, the famed New York Times architecture critic, wrote in 1970 that The Sequence was “one of the most important urban spaces since the Renaissance.” One of Lawrence Halprin’s last works was the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, D.C. With such accolades, it is fitting that more than 50 years after The Sequence was completed in Portland, The Porter’s neighborhood is located is named the Fountain District in honor of its most distinct feature. World Class Performing Arts Center, Dining and A River Runs Through It: The Fountain District is the epicenter of performing arts with the Keller Auditorium home to the Oregon Ballet, Portland Opera, Broadway In Portland and scores of renowned performances. The Keller is all just a two minute walk of The Porter. Celebrated chefs practice at restaurants in and within a 5 to 10 minute walk of The Porter Hotel and 2 ½ blocks from the Willamette River and Tom McCall Waterfront Park.
