The Nines

With 331 guest rooms, The Nines, a Luxury Collection Hotel occupies the top nine floors of the historic Meier and Frank Building at 525 SW Morrison Street in downtown Portland. The hotel opened in 2009 as an adaptive reuse of a landmark 1909 department store, and it holds LEED Silver certification, making it Portland’s only hotel with that distinction. Every room features original artwork commissioned through a partnership with the Pacific Northwest College of Art, and the hotel’s public spaces display a curated collection of more than 400 pieces of Oregon art. Portland International Airport is approximately 9.6 miles away, with MAX Light Rail service running directly to Pioneer Courthouse Square every 15 minutes.

The Nines offers over 20,617 square feet of meeting and event space across 14 creative, contemporary rooms and venues, accommodating groups of 10 to 600. The flagship ballroom spans approximately 7,200 square feet with 18-foot ceilings and Murano glass chandeliers. Additional named venues include The Library, suited for private dinners and small meetings, and The Barrel Room, which features a movable wine wall that splits the space into two separate rooms. Five smaller breakout rooms sit on the same level as the main event floor, alongside dedicated pre-function space for receptions and exhibits. State-of-the-art AV equipment is installed throughout, and the culinary team offers fully customizable, locally sourced catering menus.
