Historical charm, boutique design, and prime location are blended with Portland spirit at this three-pearl hotel downtown. That translates into doses of artisanal quirk throughout, from growler bottles in all 101 guest rooms and suites to free daily wine and cheese tastings in the lounge, as well as quick and easy access to the best of Portland's restaurants, pubs, and attractions. The nine classes of rooms, some with full kitchens, offer flexibility, attracting a cross section of travelers here for business and pleasure. All come with 50-inch flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi, but they lack kettles and coffeemakers. Beyond the small gym with up-to-date equipment and a public computer, there's little in the way of amenities, including no full-service restaurant. For more on-site features and a similar style, try The Paramount Hotel, also downtown.

One of Portland's best-known and oldest landmark hotels, The Heathman, built in 1927, is one of the most classically elegant spots to stay in town -- it was the setting for many of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" scenes. This centrally located property has 150 rooms, including suites, with an "Art of Sleep" bed menu offering guests a choice of TempurPedic, European Pillow-Top, or European Feather-Top beds. Other in-room extras include French coffee presses with Portland Roasting Company coffee. The Heathman includes a small business center and a fitness center, and free Wi-Fi throughout. A big highlight is the extensive lending library housing thousands of autographed editions, many by local authors or those who have stayed in the hotel. The on-site Heathman Restaurant and Bar gets rave reviews from visitors and Portlanders alike, and the daily afternoon tea in the Tea Court Lounge has become a bit of an institution in Portland. Considering its location and opulence, the Heathman's rates are reasonable, but guests might want to compare them with the Benson Hotel down the street, which has a similarly historic atmosphere and arguably more elegant rooms.

The four-pearl Westin Portland Harborview was built in 1927, but a $52 million renovation in 2013 erased many of its original details. Today, the modern hotel offers 289 rooms that are clean and nicely decorated with 1920s-style windows -- one of the few remaining period touches. The bathrooms are especially nice with rainfall showers and distinctive tile. A full-service spa, iconic rooftop lounge, free area shuttle, and expansive event space enhance its appeal. But parking is expensive and valet-only, rooms lack upscale amenities like minibars, and in-room Wi-Fi costs extra. As an alternative, travelers might want to check out The Press Hotel, a historic property in the lively Old Port District, where in-room Wi-Fi is free.

The Best Western Inn at the Meadows is a solid three-pearl option for business travelers needing easy access to the Portland Expo Center just up the road. The 146 rooms have been sleekly remodeled, and come equipped with mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and microwaves, which can come in handy because there's no on-site restaurant, and the immediate area has only fast-food and chain-diner venues. Family Suites with separate bedrooms are available, but most guests here are business travelers -- the hotel has a few meeting rooms and business services. A hot breakfast is included in the room rate, Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, and there's a big outdoor hot tub that's open year-round. The hotel's location, in an ugly, industrial part of North Portland, is eight miles from downtown, meaning it might not be the best choice for tourists, although it's only a five-minute walk to MAX rapid transit. Downtown hotels tend to be significantly pricier.

The 205-room property is a solid representative of the Westin brand, located in Downtown Portland and offering a decent gym and a classy (but overpriced) American restaurant. It feels more intimate than other, larger Westins, with a cozy, stylish lobby and small library. Rooms are modern and comfortable, with 42-inchflat-screens and iPod docks; the corner rooms let in tons of natural light and showcase beautiful views of the city and mountains. But be warned that you'll have to pay extra for Wi-Fi and parking.

The 196-room Fireside Inn & Suites Portland offers a wide range of basic room types, catering equally to budget-minded families and business travelers, though it's located in an industrial area and not within walking distance of downtown. All rooms have Keurig coffeemakers, plus a variety of upgrades depending on the category, from work desks and microwaves, to living rooms with gas fireplaces. The simple decor needs updates, however, and some of the rooms could use full renovations. The mid-range property has a seasonal outdoor pool as well as an indoor pool and hot tub. Other features include a small fitness center, sauna, and meeting facilities. A continental breakfast is included, but dining at the Ramada Plaza Portland up the street is a better bet.

The three-story Ramada Plaza Portland caters to all kinds of travelers looking for a full-service hotel at a good value. Amenities such as a pool and fitness center are nice but standard for a mid-range chain. Despite renovations in 2008, the hotel itself is a bit dated, right down to the rooms and bedding, but overall it's a good deal for the money. All rooms have balconies, while others also have refrigerators, microwaves, and whirlpool baths. The aforementioned common amenities -- as well as two restaurants, an outdoor patio, and a cozy lobby -- offer an incentive not to stay cooped up in the rooms.
