THE NINES

The Nines is one of Portland's finest hotels. Located above Macy's, the reception is on the eighth floor and already has a beautiful view of Pionneer Square. The hotel has a luxurious character that reminds us of its past as a department store. It is said that Clark Gable sold pantyhose there, when the rooms were still rays of fine lingerie! Works of art escort us to the main hall. Pastel blue "Tiffany" tones take over in the rooms stretched with silk and velvet. The facilities are remarkable, from the gym to wifi, including the luxury steakhouse and locavore Urban Farmer. We also like the library, which includes the works of Gus Van Sant and Pink Martini, native of Portland.
