During your Portland vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
International Rose Test Garden
Covering 4 1/2 acres of hillside in the West Hills above downtown Portland, these are among the largest and oldest rose test gardens in the United States and are the only city-maintained test gardens to bestow awards on each year's best roses. The gardens were established in 1917 by the American Rose Society and are used as a testing ground for new varieties of roses. Though you will likely see some familiar roses in the Gold Medal Garden, most of the 400 varieties on display here are new hybrids being tested before marketing. Among the roses in bloom from late spring to early winter, you'll find a separate garden of miniature roses. There's also a Shakespeare Garden that includes flowers mentioned in the Bard's works. After seeing these acres of roses, you'll understand why Portland is known as the City of Roses and why the Rose Festival in June is the city's biggest annual celebration. The small Rose Garden Store (tel. 503/227-7033), is packed with rose-inspired products.
The Berry Botanic Garden
Originally founded as a private garden, the Berry Botanic Garden is now one of Portland's favorite public gardens. Among the highlights is a large, forestlike collection of mature rhododendron shrubs. There's also a native plant trail, a fern garden, and rock gardens with unusual plants. The garden is open by reservation only.
Oaks Park Amusement Center
What would summer be without the screams of happy thrill-seekers risking their lives on a roller coaster? Pretty boring, right? Just ask the kids. They'll tell you that the real Portland excitement is at Oaks Park. Covering more than 44 acres, this amusement park first opened in 1905 to coincide with the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Beneath the shady oaks for which the park is named, you'll find waterfront picnic sites, miniature golf, music, and plenty of thrilling rides. The largest wood-floored roller-skating rink in the west and an organist still plays the Wurlitzer for the skaters.
Heron Haus
A short walk from the bustling Nob Hill shopping and dining district of northwest Portland, the Heron Haus B&B offers outstanding accommodations, spectacular views, and tranquil surroundings. Surprisingly, the house still features some of the original plumbing. In most places, this would be a liability, but not here, since the plumbing was done by the same man who plumbed Portland's famous Pittock Mansion. Many of that building's unusual bathroom features are to be found at the Heron Haus as well. One shower has two shower heads; another has seven. In another room, there's a modern whirlpool spa that affords excellent views of the city. All the rooms have fireplaces.
Governor Hotel
This historic hotel pays homage to the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and you'll spot references to the famous explorers throughout. However, the historical references are just the icing on the cake at this plush hotel.Guest rooms vary considerably in size but are all attractively decorated, with perks like two-line phones and voice mail. The least expensive rooms are rather small but are nevertheless very comfortable. Still, we'd opt for one of the deluxe guest rooms. Unfortunately, bathrooms are, in general, quite cramped by today's standards and lack counter space, although their tile work does give them a classic feel. Suites, on the other hand, are spacious, and some even have huge patios overlooking the city.Be sure to take a peek at the Dome Room, which is just off the lobby and has a stunning stained-glass skylight. Jake's Grill, a large, old-fashioned restaurant located just off the lobby, serves grilled steak and seafood. There's also a complimentary evening wine tasting Monday through Thursday.
The Heathman Hotel
With its understated luxury and superb service, The Heathman, which abuts the Portland Center for the Performing Arts, is one of the finest hotels in the city. Although this is primarily a top-end business hotel, it's also the address of choice for visiting culture hounds, with its proximity to the theater and an outstanding collection of art ranging from 18th-century oil paintings to Andy Warhol prints. Don't look for a bowl-you-over lobby here; although there is plenty of marble and teak, the lobby itself is tiny. However, just off the lobby is the Tea Court, where the original eucalyptus paneling creates a warm, old-world atmosphere.The basic rooms here tend to be quite small, but are nonetheless attractively furnished and set up for business travelers. There are no real views to speak of, but rooms on the west side of the hotel look out to a mural done just for the hotel. Basically what you get here is luxury in a small space. Ask for a corner room, which gets more light and feels more spacious.The Heathman Restaurant and Bar is one of Portland's finest, with a menu that emphasizes creatively prepared fresh local produce, seafood, and game. Afternoon tea is served in the Lobby Lounge, and there's usually live jazz nightly. There are also complimentary wine tastings several nights a week.
