Frommer's "Located a block from Pioneer Courthouse Square and within a few blocks of the best downtown shopping, this playful yet sophisticated hotel is housed in what was originally a department store." Full review
Concierge "Like other Kimpton hotels, the Hotel Monaco bucks the sterile and minimalist boutique trend in favor of character and whimsy."

Ask for a room on one of the upper floors for maximum quiet.
Travel + Leisure "The Portland outpost of the Kimpton group’s Monaco brand sits along a busy downtown stretch that... provides easy access to the riverfront and Portland Saturday Market." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This renovated boutique hotel in a 1912 architectural gem boasts a large contemporary art collection and a plush, colorful decor inspired by Anglo-Chinois style."
Rough Guide "Primo luxury spot that appeals for its designer decor, free wi-fi, flatpanel TVs and DVD players, and central location in the downtown core."
Fodor's "A departure from the safe earth tones of most hotels, this luxury boutique hotel is bright and bold, with a cacophony of colors and patterns that feels decadent rather than overwhelming." Full review
Star Service "Monaco is something of an enigma, with service, services, dining and decor that help it perform with the personality of a hotel less than half its size. " Full review
Gayot "This boutique-style hotel, formerly known as the 5th Avenue Suites, sits in an historic setting right in the middle of downtown."
Lonely Planet "The lavishly loud lobby is decorated with Asian wallpaper, sensual furniture, patterned carpeting and brightly painted walls." Full review
Not For Tourists "All-suites hotel in a historic building. Low-key luxury."

"The Ace Hotel Portland has as many quirky, bohemian characteristics as its sister properties in New York and Palm Springs." Full review
DK Eyewitness "After a complete renovation, the former Clyde Hotel has a mix of original 1912 details and a stylishly austere, modern look."
Rough Guide "Affordable boutique hotel with amenities like flat-screen TVs, in-room murals and other fun art, wi-fi, a photo booth and convenient location two blocks from Powell’s Books."
Fodor's "The quintessential Portland hotel, Ace makes the "hipster" aesthetic available to anyone and... positions you well to enjoy all downtown has to offer." Full review
Star Service "Filled with local flair, the hotel is itself in a colorful corner of the city across from the gay bars of Stark Street." Full review
Gayot "A few of the old hotels in downtown Portland are cheap and seedy. This one --- hooray! --- is affordable and charming."
