Fodor's Expert Review Hotel deLuxe
729 S.W. 15th Ave., Portland, Oregon, 97205, USA
This retro-glam 1912 boutique hotel with its original chandeliers, gilded ceilings, black-and-white photography (arranged by movie themes), heavy drapes, and hip cocktail lounge evokes Hollywood's Golden Era, from the elegant rooms to the cozy 1950s-style Driftwood Room bar and swanky Gracie's restaurant. Rooms are appropriately luxe for a hotel named "deLuxe," with sumptuous beds, an extensive pillow menu, and iPods preprogrammed with cool playlists. For the epitome of luxe, try the Marlene Dietrich Suite, with its 8-foot circular bed, crystal lamps, and gorgeous views.
