Portland may be better known for its homespun, folksy charm, its artisanal espresso and one-speed bicycles — but with The Nines, there’s finally a chic luxury option. The name is no accident: “dressed to the nines” isn’t a phrase you hear often enough around Oregon, but it certainly applies here.

The location is classic city-luxe, not some rehabbed warehouse space, but atop a historic building overlooking Portland’s surprisingly elegant downtown square. And if your business isn’t right on Pioneer Square, you’ll find Portland a compact and easily navigated city — you can easily get from baggage claim to the hotel via light rail in under an hour.

With over three hundred rooms it isn’t small, but the rooms have personality, classic meeting modern in brilliant colors. All the luxury trappings are included, from electronics to down duvets to rain showers, and the service is professional — this is a Starwood Luxury Collection property, which should help high-maintenance guests sleep a little easier.

So the standard features are all in place, including a 24-hour gym and a fine restaurant, Urban Farmer, a steakhouse with an upscale take on rustic Oregonian produce in an exceedingly well-dressed environment. Better still is the library, featuring cocktails and billiards in a cozy, clubby space, furnished with thousands of books from Powell’s, the West Coast’s last, biggest and greatest independent bookshop.
