Our Hotel Planner Expert Reviews of The Benson Portland Curio Collection by Hilton
Our expert hotel planners periodically visit and review the hotels we represent in person."Downtown Elegance "
Overall Score4.0/ 5
The Benson is a lovely, elegant, and historic hotel that perfect for very formal events, luncheons, and private dinners. They have a prime location, right in the heart of downtown bordering the trendy Pearl District. The lobby has impressively high ceilings and beautiful columns, and could be looked down upon by a balcony on the second floor. The hotel's only active restaurant is right to the left of the main entrance, and seems more of a fancy café than a real restaurant, with no real separation between the café and the lobby. The hotel used to have a second restaurant which was more of a proper, separated space, but it has closed down and is now a very cool, sultry meeting space used only for private dinners (one of the prime private dinner venues the Benson offers). The main ballroom was my favorite part of the property. It is large but feels intimate due to their very high ceilings and massive hanging crystal chandeliers. The walls were pretty and large windows made up the whole back wall. There was also a small balcony attached to the front wall that overlooked the whole room, which the sales team said was a very popular place for toasts and for brides to throw their bouquets. One warning - This hotel is not a good option for children-heavy groups.
