An architectural treasure listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the elegant Governor Hotel in downtown Portland ranks as one of the true landmarks of the Pacific Northwest. The six-story hotel, which covers more than half a city block, was built in the boom years immediately following Portland’s 1905 Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition. Murals portraying scenes from the explorers’ journey, Native American-inspired themes, rustic chandeliers, and rich wood textures capture the romance of Oregon’s past, while gilded archways and ornate sconces add glamour. The Governor is also noteworthy for its magnificent terra cotta facade.

The hotel offers a quiet, inviting atmosphere that belies its proximity to the bustle of the downtown’s financial, theater and shopping districts. And with 100 impeccable rooms and suites and one of the Northwest’s best-known restaurants, Jakes Grill, the Governor Hotel provides guests with all the amenities they need for a comfortable stay.

The hotel's architect, William C. Knighton, was known for incorporating a bell theme into his designs-they appear throughout the hotel.
