The Heathman Hotel
Overview
The Heathman Hotel is a downtown landmark, built in the late 1920s in the popular Italian Renaissance style. Then, as now, the hotel was a popular center of cultural activity. Its dramatic public spaces have been renovated in grand Art Deco style and provide the perfect backdrop for the hotel’s extensive collection of artwork.
A prominent supporter of the city’s cultural and fine arts community, it is adjacent to the Portland Center for the Performing Arts and is attached to the Arlene Shitzer Concert Hall. The hotel’s ties to the arts run deep and for years it has sponsored “Give to the Arts, Even in Your Sleep,” a program which donates a portion of the hotel’s weekend revenue to local arts organizations. Many of the hotel’s guest rooms feature views of the “Traveler’s Song” mural, a 9-foot high work by artist Henk Pander that was commissioned to adorn the interior wall of the attached concert hall.
As the only hotel in the city’s designated Cultural District, the Heathman is truly a place where “service is still an art.”
The Heathman's latest artistic commitment is a themed guestroom that pays tribute to Andy Warhol.
