The Multnomah Hotel, located in downtown Portland, Oregon, United States, is a historic hotel building listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3] It currently operates as the Embassy Suites Portland - Downtown.
History
The 700-room hotel was built by local entrepreneur Philip Gevurtz[4] and opened on February 8, 1912.[5] The nine-story building filled an entire city block.[6] It was operated by Western Hotels, now known as Westin Hotels & Resorts, from 1931 until it closed in 1963.[7] At the time of its closure, The Oregonian wrote that the Multnomah had been "one of the most famous hotels on the Pacific Coast".[6] From 1965 to 1992 the building housed government offices.[7] It was sold in 1995 and restored, its 700 rooms reduced to 276 suites,[8] reopening in 1997 as the Embassy Suites Portland - Downtown.
Famous guests
The hotel has hosted Queen Marie of Romania, Charles Lindbergh,[6][7] Rudolph Valentino, Jimmy Stewart, Bing Crosby, Jack Benny and every president from Theodore Roosevelt to Richard Nixon.[8]
