The Spotlight on The Benson Portland Curio Collection by Hilton

Historic Luxury Steps from Portland's Music Scene

Modern comfort meets old-world charm at The Benson Portland Curio Collection by Hilton, a beautifully restored, historic hotel in downtown Portland. With elegant architecture featuring Austrian crystal chandeliers and Italian marble floors, this hotel is as stylish as it is convenient—just a short walk from local music venues, nightlife, and the MAX Light Rail, making it easy to explore the city car-free.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're in town for a show, The Benson ticks all the boxes. It's just a 2-minute walk to the MAX Light Rail, so late-night rides back from concerts are a breeze. With quiet, soundproof rooms, you can count on restful sleep after the encore. The hotel offers late check-out at 12:00 PM, giving you time to recover from a late night without rushing out the door. The lobby’s 24-hour coffee and tea service is a welcome perk for early flights or post-show hangouts.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking to explore downtown and hit up nearby venues
- Solo travelers catching their dream act at a Portland show
- Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
- Fans seeking a serene, classic setting to wind down
- Budget-conscious music lovers wanting a touch of luxury without overpaying

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Palm Court lobby restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner—perfect for grabbing a bite before or after a show. While there's no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s central location means you're just steps from local late-night eateries. Guests love the complimentary Starbucks® coffee and tea each morning in the lobby—a lifesaver after a night of dancing.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself offers a more refined, quiet atmosphere, you're within walking distance of Portland’s best bars, lounges, and live music spots. Whether you're after a craft cocktail or a late-night set in the Pearl District, you're never far from the action. The Palm Court features a cozy bar with a solid wine list and local spirits for a pre-show toast or nightcap.

What People Say

Guests rave about the central location, historic ambiance, and friendly, attentive staff. Many reviews highlight how easy it is to walk to local venues and appreciate the hotel’s quiet comfort after a lively night out. The elegant design and thoughtful touches—like robes and slippers on request—add to the upscale feel.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the rooms can feel a bit smaller than expected, and the hotel’s classic decor may not be for those seeking ultra-modern vibes. No on-site parking can be a drawback for those driving in, but nearby garages and valet options help ease the hassle.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a blend of historic elegance, walkable nightlife, and peaceful comfort, The Benson Portland Curio Collection by Hilton strikes the perfect chord.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Ashley, Portland, Oregon, visiting Tiffany Center

Very disappointed, but it was partially my fault for not complaining and moving rooms.

Liked: The lobby was pretty and the underground tunnel from the parking lot was pretty neat even though it's closed at 7pm.
Disliked: Bed was hard; the room service paper on the bed still had information the person before us had written on it. The heater in the room did not work so the fan just pushed out cold air - wanted to complain but did not want to pack up and move rooms at 3am. The shower did not turn on all the way so the pressure sucked. And to top it off the view was an alley and another building - was disappointed as this was supposed to be a really nice hotel for the high price. Also we were never even given a passward to the wifi and never told about any accommodation they had.

Exceptional

Liked: Everything was phenomenal except one thing.
Disliked: The view from the room was NOT good. The view was the kitchen exhaust system and large ugly vents, and the back end of the hotel. No sky, plant life, or anything pleasant.I shut the curtains for three days. I should have expected something like this with booking.com. The hotel told me that booking with a third party, the rooms are on the lower end of the hotel.
