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."

Frommer's "Portland's only downtown waterfront hotel. This alone would be enough to recommend the hotel, but its quiet boutique-hotel atmosphere would make it an excellent choice even if it weren't on the water." Full review
Insight Guides "Downtown's only riverfront hotel is set next to the Tom McCall Waterfront Park. The plush modern rooms are decorated in sand tones, and make the most of the wonderful views."
Travel + Leisure "Designed to resemble a grand Victorian seaside hotel... the waterfront RiverPlace easily has the city’s best Willamette River views." Full review
Fodor's "This hotel on the banks of the Willamette River captures the look and feel of the Pacific Northwest." Full review
Star Service "Part of an upscale commercial and residential complex, this conservative refuge offers a livelier location than the condo-warehouse district where the Avalon is situated." Full review
Gayot "Enhancing Portlandâs scenic mountains and bustling cityscape, the Riverplace Hotel offers a prime location on the Willamette River."
Lonely Planet "Portland has its share of upscale international chain hotels, but the RiverPlace Hotel is unique."
Jetsetter "Lodgelike waterfront retreat tucked away from the Portland bustle, with wine happy hours and locavore fare." Full review

"A modern, fun and friendly hotel with a choice location on the Willamette River." Full review
goop "The cool thing about the Riverplace (and what sets it apart from other Portland hotels) is that it’s right along the water, so many of the rooms have great views of the river." Full review
