Our Pioneer Square Hotel – The Perfect Start for Exploring Portland, Oregon
Named one of Frommer's 2007 World's Top Travel Destinations, Portland is an ideal destination for anyone planning a getaway or business meeting. Located in Portland's downtown business district, Hotel Monaco Portland makes a perfect place to explore nearby Pioneer Square, the center of this amazing city.
Anyone who lives in or visits Portland feels the pull of the traditional visual arts (found in non-traditional places, like paintings in the police station and sculptures in the transit mall) mixed with the performing arts. Organizations like the Portland Opera and the Oregon Symphony complement the wide variety of live music and performances found in smaller clubs throughout the city. And the kids won't be able to decide what to visit first: the Oregon Zoo, Oaks Amusement Park or the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.
Portland's proximity to the mountains, rivers and the ocean - even the desert - adds a stunning natural element to an already beautiful urban area. Mount Hood and the Cascades provide a breathtaking backdrop to events like the month-long Rose Festival, when the City of Roses celebrates its favorite flower. The great outdoors also provides opportunity for those hikers, bikers, kayakers, skiers and other enthusiasts who can't get enough of Mother Nature. You'll find our downtown Portland hotel puts you right in the center of all the goings-on.
