Hotel deLuxe Rating: 4.0 Pearls
Decor at this upscale, 130-room boutique is inspired by the Golden Era of Hollywood, where Art Deco lamps, black-and-white photographs, and heavy drapes meet modern luxuries such as flat-screen TVs and iPod docks. Rooms have a vintage style that is cheerful rather than sultry, but have plush beds and a pastel color scheme that makes them feel homey and cozy. There is no spa on-site, but the restaurant offers fine dining in an elegant, classic style, and the rooftop hosts an open-air cinema during the summer.

The Westin Portland Rating: 4.0 Pearls
The Westin brand is known for its hotels packed with business amenities, but this property feels quite intimate, with a cozy, stylish lobby and a small library. Rooms come equipped with the brand’s trademark Heavenly beds, as well as with high-tech amenities, including large flat-screen TVs and iPod docks, perfect for a quiet night in. Couples might want to book one of the multiple rooms that offer a large soaking tub or arrange for an in-room spa treatment through the concierge.
