Overview

Modern hotel features an outdoor courtyard and a Living Wall – Portland’s first fully sustainable living piece of art

Daily amenity fee

This property in downtown Portland is about a mile walk away from the popular Pearl District (or a quick ride away on the MAX light rail). With its minimalist design aesthetic and warm color palette, Hotel Modera feels quaint and comfortable. Yet, it's also luxurious with its Tarocco Italian bath products, iPod docking stations, flat-screen TVs and turndown service, available upon request. And Modera guests praise the Mediterranean fare at the on-site Nel Centro restaurant and its patio with fire pits, perfect for a little relaxing while sipping wine.

Critic Reviews

Fodor's

READ MORE
Decorated with local artwork, sleek, contemporary furnishings, and wood-and-marble accents, this boutique property is both upscale and accessible, and offers a location convenient to the Southwest Park Blocks and Portland State University.

Frommer's

READ MORE
The Modera is a sleek and sophisticated 'scene hotel' thoughtfully fashioned from the 1950s-era Portland Motor Lodge.

READ MORE
The Modera bills itself as a boutique, and even though it's not as small as some boutique hotels, it does have that vibe — and it lacks the amenities of a large hotel.

There’s an outdoor courtyard with lanterns, fire pits surrounded by seating and a Living Wall – Portland’s first fully sustainable living piece of art. Situated in the business district, the hotel puts guests within walking distance of the Portland Art Museum, the shops at Pioneer Place and the bars and restaurants in the Pioneer Courthouse Square area. While it is not as centrally located as similar boutique hotels, the Hotel Modera still makes a good home base for business and leisure travelers.
