The Nines, A Luxury Collection Hotel
Luxury and style at a Portland landmark
A luxurious spot in the center of downtown Portland, Oregon, The Nines, A Luxury Collection Hotel occupies the same historic building where Clark Gable once worked.
The storied history of the building dates back to the early 1900s, when it helped anchor Portland’s downtown with the flagship Meier & Frank department store. Gable was destined for more, and as it turns out, so was the stunning glazed terra cotta building.
Now inhabiting the top nine floors, The Nines boasts thoughtful, but subtle homages to its fashionable past with original art decorating its walls, elegant finishings in rooms and even the occasional artfully displayed mannequin.
The Nines embraces the indigenous qualities of its surroundings with nods to the Pacific Northwest in the natural building elements and more than 400 commissioned pieces from local artists. In a city where rustic casualness is the de facto style choice, The Nines offers a much-needed dose of glamour.
