What’s Hot: Limited Time Offer at The Nines, Portland’s Newest Luxury Hotel

There's been quite the buzz about Portland's brand spanking new hotel: The Nines. A member of Starwood's Luxury Collection, the stylish hotel-- perched atop the landmark Meier and Frank Building-- pays homage to the thriving local art scene with a magnificent original art collection on display in the lobby and guest rooms. (The hotel's name finds its inspiration from the Macy's department store found in the same 100-year-old building; as in-- Dressed to the Nines...) Celebrating the talent that has made Portland the creative capital of the Northwest, The Nines commissioned 419 pieces of art from local artists including dramatic 30-foot glass sculptures and abstract monotypes and silkscreen images. Sure, The Nines has the hottest art exhibit in town, but there are other reasons to check into this exceptional property. With a limited time special offer pricing rooms at a low $199 per night until March 1st, 2009, you can enjoy a new hospitality standard in a hotel that is an important part of the revitalization of downtown Portland. The 331 guest rooms are downright plush, and Urban Farmer, a modern steakhouse, is another lure... Did we mention that the hotel is pursuing LEED Silver Certification from the Green Building Council, one of only a handful of hotels in the U.S. to receive this distinction?
