The Nines

The Nines occupies the upper eight floors of the landmark Meier & Frank Building at 525 SW Morrison Street in downtown Portland, Oregon, directly facing Pioneer Courthouse Square — the city's central plaza — and within steps of the MAX light rail system. The structure dates to 1909 and operated as a major department store for nearly a century before its conversion; the hotel's design preserves the original beaux-arts atrium and terra-cotta detailing while integrating an extensive collection of Pacific Northwest contemporary art throughout public areas. Guest rooms range from Deluxe Kings to expansive Terrace Suites, most offering elevated views of the Portland skyline, the Willamette River corridor, or the West Hills. All rooms feature high-quality bedding, large-screen televisions, and premium bath products; suites add generous living areas and upgraded fixtures. The hotel's primary dining venue, Urban Farmer, occupies the lobby level and draws on a network of Oregon ranchers, farmers, and fishermen to produce a seasonally driven menu anchored by steaks, chops, and fresh Pacific seafood. A rooftop lounge supplements dining with panoramic city views and craft cocktails popular with both guests and Portland residents. A fitness center with cardio and weight equipment is available to guests around the clock. The property's business infrastructure includes a dedicated business center, multiple configurable meeting rooms, and efficient valet parking, making it well suited to corporate groups and conference attendees. The concierge team is knowledgeable about the local arts scene, dining trends, and event ticketing. Walking distance extends to Powell's Books, the Portland Art Museum, Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, and the Pearl District's concentration of galleries and restaurants. The Nines is a Marriott Luxury Collection property, allowing Bonvoy points redemption. Peak rates generally range from USD 220 to USD 480 per night, with highest demand during summer and major Moda Center events.
