Lonely Planet "Room furnishings that blend Grateful Dead–inspired psychedelia with the interior of a Victorian boudoir can only mean one thing." Full review
Frommer's "Like the Ace , the Crystal epitomizes a certain Portland aesthetic that is basic, down-to-earth, and inexpensive." Full review

"The 51 small, song-themed rooms at the upper-middle-range Crystal Hotel in downtown Portland embody the quirkiness that defines this city." Full review
Zagat "Quirky hotel with dining & a bar." Full review
Frommer's "The Crystal epitomizes a certain Portland aesthetic that is basic, down-to-earth. In fact, the rooms with shared bathrooms at the Crystal are the best deals in town." Full review
Frommer's "Rooms named after famous musicians who have hit the stage at the Ballroom...staying here gives you same-night access to otherwise sold-out shows. Al's Den in the basement hosts more live music" Full review

"This 117-room boutique hotel delivers the bright, quirky style and fun freebies... expected from the Kimpton brand." Full review
DK Eyewitness "With rooms named after Oregon wineries and vineyards, this handsome, centrally-located hotel offers a complimentary wine reception every evening."
Fodor's "With a persimmon, cream, and soft brown color scheme... and two-person jetted soaking tubs (in suites), the Hotel Vintage Plaza offers up both comfort and elegance." Full review
Star Service "For travelers in search of a boutique-hotel offering great service and style, this is one of the best in town. " Full review
Gayot "It's located right in the heart of the city (there isn't a vineyard on site), but its rich colors and deep textures are as intoxicating as a glass of local Pinot Noir."
Not For Tourists "Splurge on a garden spa bedroom if you have the cash."
Travel + Leisure "Oenophiles appreciate this Kimpton group beauty, which offers wine-themed accommodations in a stately, 1894 downtown building." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award
"At the Hotel Vintage Portland, one of Kimpton’s kitschy-cool Pacific Northwest outposts, the city’s scrappy, stylish, and totally off-kilter legacy looms large." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"While it doesn’t have the edge of some of the trendier hotels in the area, or the draw of a riverfront location, there’s a certain charm to the Vintage." Full review
Frommer's "This hotel, which was built in 1894, is on the National Register of Historic Places and underwent a major renovation in 2009 -- it is the place to stay in Portland if you are a wine lover." Full review
