The Spotlight on Kimpton Riverplace Hotel

Relaxed Riverside Vibes Just Minutes from the Music

Modern yet homey, the Kimpton Riverplace Hotel offers a tranquil, eco-friendly stay right along Portland’s scenic Willamette River. With its cozy, lodge-inspired interiors, riverside location, and walkable proximity to downtown, this hotel blends Pacific Northwest charm with upscale comfort. Guests love the large, light-filled rooms, plush robes, and thoughtful extras like complimentary morning coffee and an evening wine reception.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're heading to a riverside gig or a downtown headliner, this hotel puts you within easy reach of Portland’s top music venues—many within a 15-minute walk or quick ride. After the show, return to a peaceful, quiet setting away from the late-night street noise. The flexible check-out time of 12:00 PM means you can sleep in after a late night. Bonus: the hotel offers bike rentals so you can cruise to a venue or explore the city pre-show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish, central base with plenty of space to chill
  • Solo travelers catching a legendary act and wanting a safe, serene stay
  • Couples turning a concert into a romantic weekend getaway
  • Fans seeking a calm, riverside retreat to wind down after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers willing to splurge a little for location and comfort

Food and Drink Options

On-site restaurant King Tide Fish & Shell serves up fresh, local seafood with views of the river—and a heated porch with rocking chairs for a laid-back post-show vibe. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the restaurant stays open late enough for a post-concert bite, and you're within walking distance of plenty of downtown eateries. Complimentary morning coffee and tea help ease you into the day after a big night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about relaxation than ragers, you’re only a short ride or walk from Portland’s buzzing bar and club scene. Think cozy lounges, craft cocktail spots, and indie bars featuring local artists. Afterward, retreat to the hotel’s calm, riverside ambiance and sip wine during the evening reception.

What People Say

Guests rave about the serene setting and beautiful riverfront views. The complimentary wine hour and friendly staff are frequent highlights in reviews, as is the clean, quiet atmosphere—perfect for winding down after a high-energy night. Many also appreciate the large rooms and inviting common areas.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that while the location is scenic, it’s a bit removed from the main nightlife action—so you might need a short Uber or Lyft. Also, parking is valet-only and can get pricey, so budget accordingly if you're driving.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a peaceful, upscale retreat with river views and easy access to Portland’s music scene, Kimpton Riverplace Hotel hits all the right notes.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Rossana Sun, 2 February 2025

Disappointing service in what could...

Liked: Good location, comfortable. Accepts pets.
Disliked: We arrived at check in time, 4 pm, and there was a long line to the check in line. When it finally was our time to check in we were told it would still be 1 hour for our room to be ready, which was an unexpected situation since we had a large dog with us and were tired and wanting to relax in our room. This was on new year's eve with no possibility of finding another hotel. They offered us a credit to their restaurant, which was enough to buy a couple of drinks and some food. The room was comfortable and clean although a bit dated. When we decided to have dinner later on we found out the restaurant closed at 10 pm on New Year's Eve, which was disappointing. Next morning we left without having breakfast, so we cannot review that. We checked out, reviewed our bill and everything was ok. A few days later we found a small charge of $8 in the CC used. When we contacted the hotel via Booking.com, we were told it was for something consumed in the minibar. We told them we absolutely did not consume that and asked them to refund the charge. Since our message was ignored by the hotel, we contacted the CC company and finally received a message from the hotel confirming they had refunded that charge. It was disappointing that we had to contact our CC company to solve such a small charge issue that after all of this, did not feel like it would have been solved otherwise.

It was just ok. For...

Liked: The bed was very comfortable.The staff were incredible. Helpful and lovely. The restaurant was great.
Disliked: Outdated room. The bathrooms are severely outdated and in poor shape. The jets in the tub were broken. The bathroom was minimally stocked. It felt like the Holiday Inn. This was the premium suite- imagine that!
