Crowne Plaza Portland Downtown Convention Center

The Crowne Plaza Portland Downtown Convention Center by IHG brings together 241 guest rooms and a location that places attendees steps from Portland’s primary convention and sports corridor. The hotel sits just steps from the Oregon Convention Center and the Moda Center in the Lloyd District, home to the Portland Trail Blazers and the Portland Winterhawks. Each guest room is equipped with a Keurig coffee maker, microwave, and mini-refrigerator, and most guestrooms include a large work desk as well as views of the downtown skyline and surrounding area. Guests can relax in the indoor saltwater pool and hot tub area, unwind on the sun deck, or take part in a friendly game at the outdoor sports court.

The hotel offers 13,500 square feet of flexible meeting space. Eight separate event spaces make it a practical venue for conferences, conventions, business meetings, and social gatherings. The centerpiece is the 5,380-square-foot Belmont Ballroom, which features a dedicated foyer and French doors opening onto the outdoor Fireside Plaza, with a seated capacity of 630 guests for conferences and gala banquets. The Belmont Foyer connects to both the Belmont Ballroom and the Outdoor Fireside Plaza, offering flexible space for pre-function gatherings, tradeshows, or wedding ceremonies. A dedicated Crowne Plaza Meetings Director is available to coordinate all event logistics on-site.
