Portland may not be your first thought for a luxury escape, but that’s worth reconsidering. Just picture river views cutting through city scenes with snow-studded mountains in the background.

With incredible views and renowned dining, these five-star hotels in Portland, Oregon – all bookable with Culture Trip – are perfect for a luxury getaway.

Foodie? Check into this downtown Portland hotel with hip dining options.
