The Benson Portland, Curio Collection by Hilton

Beautiful hotel, accommodating staff. 10/10 would stay here again

The bed was extremely comfortable. The room was clean and the restaurant had good breakfast food.

First time staying here and not disappointed at all Hotel was clean,very accommodating, staff were always friendly and helpful. We dined a few nights at the hotel dining room and the staff was extremely attentive. I can’t remember their names but everyone from the housekeeper,maintenance,front desk and dining staff. The hotel is beautiful. Good location walkable to many good eateries and coffee places. Definitely will return here next time I visit Portland which is often

We recently held our conference at The Benson Hotel in Portland, and the experience was outstanding. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, from the planning stages through the event itself. Every team member was professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to providing excellent service. The hotel's location is another major advantage. Situated in the heart of downtown Portland, it was convenient for our attendees to access restaurants, attractions, and transportation. The combination of exceptional service, beautiful facilities, and a prime location made our conference a great success. I highly recommend The Benson Hotel for conferences, meetings, or any stay in Portland. We look forward to returning for future events.

Beautiful historic hotel that has been tastefully updated in downtown. We had great room service, ate good food and enjoyed the staircase museum.

The TV didn’t have ability for us to connect or login to our streaming apps.

We ate at the Hotel Restaurant and the best part was meeting our server John. He is compassionate, loves what he does, and is the living historian of The Benson. I highly recommend at least stopping in for a drink and talking to John for a few minutes and he will leave you with plenty of stories to tell others.

The beauty of the lobby, knowing how old the building was and just admiring the columns, the flooring, the ceilings and the chandeliers. The whole picture was very nostalgic.

Nothing!

Beautiful hotel. Bathrooms real small.

Homeless issue. Not your fault but we will not stay in that area again.

The Benson Portland was the first stop on transcontinental train trip from Portland to Boston for me and my adult son. The hotel provided a memorable beginning to our travels. The hotel's central location was perfect for us, a 5-minute walk from Pioneer Courthouse Square and an easy 15 -minute walk to Portland's Union Station. The historic public areas of the hotel are beautifuly preserved and offer a wonderful atmosphere for eating, drinking, and relaxation. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Given the quality of the hotel, I found the hotel to be a good value. In particular, the two meals I ate at the hotel - dinner and breakfast - were very good and very reasonably priced. My dinner consisted of a large and distinctive salad featuring fresh lettuce, roasted hazelnuts, and dried cranberries which cost only $10, followed by a hazelnut pudding with ice cream for the same price. My breakfast was substantial and also a reasonable value at $20. Good coffee was avaialble free of charge each morning in the lobby - a most welcome amenity. Perhaps the most memorable aspect of our stay was the stairway between the hotel's 11 stories, which contains a museum of photographs illustrating various aspects of the hotel's history on each floor. I spent a pleasurable hour learning about the hotel's original owner; the hotel's architect; Portland's architecture; entertainers who have stayed at the hotel (including a photo of the a young Billy Joel!), a gallery of Presidents who have stayed the hotel (starting with Taft and ending with Biden); and the coins that were flipped to determine whether Portland would be nameed Portland or Boston. Finally, the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. The Benson has become my only choice for lodging in Portland and the standard for my future hotel stays elsewhere.
