The Venue
THE BENSON:
A HISTORIC DOWNTOWN PORTLAND HOTEL
Since opening this downtown Portland Hotel in 1913, The Benson has been a hidden gem. Envisioned by lumber baron and philanthropist Simon Benson, this fabled, European-style hotel was built to put Portland on the international map and to be the finest hotel west of the Mississippi. Featuring Italian marble floors, Austrian crystal chandeliers, and wood paneling from rare Circassian walnut harvested from the imperial forests of Russia, the hotel is a sublime achievement of vision and American master craftsmanship. It is a class all its own. No other hotel in the region comes close to the quintessential elegance, amenities, and charm of The Benson. For more than 100 years, the hotel’s staff has welcomed celebrities, CEOs, dignitaries, and a majority of U.S. presidents.
Now it’s your turn to discover the timeless beauty of this landmark hotel. Read more on the storied history of The Benson Hotel here.

In 1912, Benson gave the City of Portland $10,000 for the installation of twenty bronze drinking fountains. These fountains, known as "Benson Bubblers", are still in use in downtown Portland. Portland's sister city, Sapporo, Japan, also has one of these drinking water fountains!
