Hotel deLuxe

COST: $

<p>Old Hollywood-style glamour pervades this elegant, slightly-off-the-beaten-path hotel; you'll feel it from the moment you ascend the wide marble steps into the grand lobby, with its ornately carved moldings and coffered ceilings. At the dark, wood-paneled Driftwood Room (one of Portland's iconic lounges), local deal-makers hobnob in cushy leather banquettes; sophisticated diners frequent the restaurant, Gracie's, which serves globally influenced Pacific Northwest cuisine. The old-school plushness is reinforced in the 130 rooms, with their angular Art Deco-esque furnishings, crystal lampshades, and black-and-white stills from classic films adorning the walls (more modern nods to entertainment—flat-screen TV's and iPod docks—are here, too). Pay the extra $20 or so for a King Feature suite and you'll get an elongated sitting area as well as a bedroom.</p> <p><strong>Tip:</strong> For similarly alluring digs but a more central downtown location, check out the deLuxe's sister property, the <a href="/hotels/hotel-lucia-portland-oregon">Hotel Lucia</a>, at 400 Southwest Broadway.</p> <p><strong>Room to Book:</strong> The swish Marlene Dietrich Suite, with its custom-made circular bed, shimmering crystal lamps, and panoramic downtown views.</p>
