The Heathman Hotel, Portland, Oregon

Portland, Oregon

THE HEATHMAN HOTEL Southwest Broadway at Salmon Street Portland, Oregon 97205 (503) 241-4100 (800) 551-0011 (503) 790-7110 Fax This National Historic Landmark in downtown Portland is next door to the Center for the Performing Arts and just a few steps from the Portland Art Museum and downtown business and shopping districts. The Heathman was completely renovated in 1984 under the supervision of San Francisco's master interior designer, Andrew Delfino. Original works by leading American artists are displayed throughout the hotel. The lobby, featuring rare eucalyptus panelling, a grand piano, and a fireplace, is the setting for afternoon tea, a burgeoning Portland custom. Each spacious guest room is decorated with teakwood and art deco furnishings. Carrara white and Verona red marble, Roman travertine, and Burmese teak have been artfully blended to create an unabashedly luxurious decor. A complimentary 225-plus film library is available to all guests. Baths are fitted with marble and provided with robes and abundant complimentary toiletries. The Heathman has become a Portland dining favorite, thanks in part to its proximity to cultural events. The restaurant prides itself on serving the finest and freshest northwest regional seafood, vegetables, and meat. Menus change seasonally; in the spring, dinner began with northwest game pate with red remoulade, then the Heathman salad of Romaine butter lettuce, garlic croutons bacon, and mint tossed together in a delectable dressing. The entree was rack of Oregon lamb, and dessert a chocolate raspberry torte served along with the Heathman's house blend coffee. The elegant Marble Bar, named for its exquisite marble furnishings, is a popular apres-theatre meeting place, serving bistro-style small plates until 2am. The care and thought that have gone into refurbishing this hotel, combined with courteous professional service, will surely please.
