This luxury hotel is “dressed to the nines” in a nod to the building’s history as Portland’s premier department store.

The Nines is equally committed to preserving local history and the environment. This commitment can be seen in their choice of Beekind toiletries, use of sustainable ingredients in the meals served at the Urban Farmer Restaurant, and the selection of energy-saving features throughout the property.
