Why The Nines Hotel is the Ideal Choice for Business Travelers

When business takes you to the Pacific Northwest, your accommodations need to do more than provide a bed—they need to function as a seamless extension of your office. Occupying the historic Meier & Frank building in the heart of downtown Portland, The Nines, a Luxury Collection Hotel, sets the standard for modern executive travel.

Location That Commands Convenience

Time is the ultimate currency for business travelers. Positioned directly across from Pioneer Courthouse Square, The Nines places you steps away from the central business district, the Pearl District, and major transit links like the MAX Light Rail. Whether you are running to a client presentation or hosting a local team meeting, the city’s core is entirely accessible.

Designed for Peak Productivity

Our guest rooms balance high-end luxury with functional utility. Every space features ample, well-lit work desks, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, and in-room Nespresso machines to keep you sharp. Need a more quiet, inspiring backdrop to review a contract or take a call? Slip into The Library—a dedicated, comfortable space stocked with over 3,000 titles from the legendary local Powell’s Books.

Seamless Corporate Entertaining

Impressing clients or gathering your team requires the right venue. The Nines features over 20,000 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting spaces, ranging from intimate executive boardrooms like the Ruby and Meier rooms to the expansive 7,200 sq. ft. Nines Ballroom for larger corporate events.

For casual networking, you don’t even have to leave the property:

  • Urban Farmer: A modern farm-to-table steakhouse right in the building, perfect for power lunches.
  • Departure: A sleek, 15th-floor rooftop restaurant serving premier pan-Asian cuisine alongside sweeping views of downtown and Mt. Hood—ideal for closing a deal over drinks.
