The hotel and residences would rise within BPM's planned mixed-use tower, which would also feature high-end office space, retail space and a ground-level food hall. The site is a few blocks from Pioneer Courthouse Square, the most-visited tourist destination in Oregon, and the shopping destination Pioneer Place. It's also within walking distance to Portland's central business district and the Pearl District, the former warehouse district now known for its chic restaurants and bars, galleries and boutiques.
A new era of luxury for Portland
Once open, The Ritz-Carlton, Portland will feature exclusive entrances for hotel guests and residence owners, along with high-end amenities including a fitness center, full-service spa and swimming pool on the 19th floor. "Plans for the mixed-use tower call for multiple food and beverage venues - including a food hall on the ground floor and an indoor/outdoor restaurant and bar on the 20th floor with panoramic views of Portland and the Cascade Mountain Range. The tower is also slated to have more than 13,000 square feet of meeting space for business events and special celebrations.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences are expected to provide luxury living at a level not yet seen in Portland, complete with sophisticated style, luxurious finishes and legendary Ritz-Carlton service, including room service and housekeeping. Owners will have dedicated amenities such as an 8th floor owner's lounge and fitness facility, along with stunning wrap-around views of Portland's magnificent downtown skyline on one side and the Cascade Mountain Range and Willamette River on the other.
