Hotel Lucia: Portland's Hippest Hotel    Check Rates

    • I stayed here for a weekend and didn't want to leave. For me it was the perfect mix of high class but cosy. Sophisticated but not pretentious -- the staff were friendly in the just right way, not over-pleasing (you know what I'm talking about!). I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone, and have already done so. Check out their Betty Promotional packages, they're clever !

    Elegant decor, hip atmosphere, cosy, snuggly beds.. It reminds me a lot of the W Hotels but on a smaller scale. Torrefazione coffee and Tazo teas are a nice touch.
    My favourite part of this hotel is the artwork covering the walls and black and white photos in the rooms. The beds are simply plush which could be a drawback because you want to stay IN bed the whole stay instead of exploring the city!
    I think the location is the best -- right on Broadway and in the heart of the city.

    • Hotel Lucia has got to be one of the hippest spots to be in Portland. The rooms and halls are adorned with fantastic b/w photos of celebrities, landscapes, etc. EXCEPT, one of the photos in my room looked like a shadow of a palm tree...but upon closer inspection, it was a shadow of a palm tree nestled in a cemetary! Scary! Why would they put a picture of a cemetary in a hotel room?!

    Thaiphoon is the restaurant located on the ground floor--I have not eaten dinner there, but here it is pretty good (though a bit pricey.) I ordered a Thai omelette for breakfast one time; it was just an omelette with spicy red chili sauce (the one in the plastic bottle with a rooster) on it--didn't taste all that great.

    I also had several problems at the hotel--the rooms are small; the walls are quite thin (I heard a couple next door to me arguing and then breaking up all weekend.) The closet and rack were SMALL with limited space. My CD player was broken. The lobby was crowded with people wanting to be part of the "scene" which made for long waits at the registration desk everytime I had a question (or complaint.)

    If you want to be hip, this is the place to be seen.

    Also, one of the closest quality hotels to Powell's Bookstore.

    Beds are really comfortable, but tend to take up most of the space in the room.

    Hotel Lucia: A Consummate Portland Experience    Check Rates

    • I have never written an online review for anything before but it would be absolutely unfair not to write about the Lucia. I am a widely-traveled business exec and I absolutely detest the sterile hermetically-sealed shoe boxes like the Hyatt and 4 Seasons. I would rather stay in a 100-year old converted brothel that at least has some character and wood and brick and windows that open. The Lucia has all this - a classic beauty in the heart of downtown Portland which is a lovely city if you have never been there. Superb luxury accommodations at a reasonable price. But the absolute best thing about it was the staff. Young, hip, cool but completely on their game when it came to service. When I checked in they asked if I wanted wireless. I said the last thing I wanted to do after a 12-hour trade show was spend the evening answering emails - but I did need to check for 5 minutes for one email I was expecting. Their answer? No problem, we'll comp you the $15 charge so you can do that. Good so far. I ask them what their best rate is. They say $129 for their standard room. I say 'okay'. They say - but since you are a first time guest we'll put you in one of our larger corner suites at no extra charge so you can get a feel for the Lucia experience. Okay cool. I get to the room and all I wanted was a nice long hot bath. Big bath tub. Yes. Beautiful robe laid out. Double yes. High def wide screen tv. Pour a glass of wine, sink into the tub, watch the widescreen. Finally after an hour of soaking I begin to feel the road dust and fatigue melt away and I feel myself becoming a real human being again. Get dressed and head out for a few cocktails. Return about 1am with some magnificent take out food - but I need cutlery and China. No prob. The front desk brings me out a full set of the finest. Go up to my room. Have my dinner on fine China. Sink into the spectacular king size bed under a down duvet. Flip on the wide screen. Pass out within minutes. The Lucia deserves your business. The people who work there are definitely among the finest and most professional I have ever experienced and I commend them all.

    Hotel Lucia: Hip, Friendly, Very Close to Pearl    Check Rates

    • I thoroughly enjoyed the Hotel Lucia. It was hip, well designed, and the staff were very friendly. The hotel is within easy walking distance to the Pearl, and has a nice cozy little bar, an asia fusion restaurant downstairs which has a great breakfast fried rice dish.

    The lobby is small but cozy.

    The room itself had a very comfortable bed, roomy closet, and smallish but definitely nice bathroom. I would definitely stay at Hotel Lucia again.
