Pros
- Stylish design inspired by the Golden Era of Hollywood
- Cheerful rooms with flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and pillow menu
- Hip Driftwood Room bar popular with visitors and locals alike
- Fine dining at classy Gracie's restaurant
- Local, high-end Mada bath products
- Free Wi-Fi
- Open-air cinema night hosted weekly on the rooftop during the summer
Cons
- Small rooms with even smaller bathrooms
- Small, bare-bones fitness center
- Location not as central as competitors'
Bottom Line
If channeling James Cagney or Bette Davis while sipping an Old Fashioned is on your bucket list, consider the Hotel deLuxe. Decor at this upscale, 130-room boutique is inspired by the Golden Era of Hollywood, where Art Deco lamps, black-and-white photographs, and heavy drapes meet modern luxuries such as flat-screen TVs and iPod docks. Even the key cards scream Tinseltown. Rooms have a vintage style that is cheerful rather than sultry, with plush beds and a color scheme of lively, bright pastels. But they're fairly small (especially the miniscule bathrooms).

Location
In the Goose Hollow neighborhood just outside Downtown Portland
Hotel deLuxe isn't quite as central as competitors such as Hotel Monaco -- it's a bit to the east of the popular Pearl District -- but the Pearl District and Portland's Waterfront are still within walking distance. Portland is very pedestrian-friendly and is known as one of the best cycling cities in the country, so visitors should take advantage of the car-free settings.
Downtown Portland is the heart of the city, and is centered around the lively Pioneer Square. It's also home to multiple museums, urban parks, and residential condominiums. Portland State University borders Downtown to the south.
Forest Park, 5,000 acres of pure nature, can be found on the northwest hills of Downtown Portland. It's one of the nation's largest urban parks, and has plenty of biking and hiking trails for adventurous travelers.
