During your Portland vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
American Advertising Museum
Like it or not, advertising is here to stay. In this small museum, you'll learn about its history, from the 1700s to the present, through displays on historic advertisements, celebrities, and jingles. Tapes of old TV commercials provide a popular trip down memory lane. Lots of 20th-century advertising icons are on display, and the most influential ads of the past century are chronicled in detail. Definitely a fun and unusual little museum.
The Grotto--National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother
Although this forested 62-acre sanctuary is first and foremost a Catholic religious shrine (with a marble replica of Michelangelo's Pietà set in a shallow rock cave at the foot of a cliff), the gardens are quite beautiful. The gardens are at their best in the early summer and during the Christmas season when the grounds are decorated with thousands of lights and a choral festival is held. An elevator ride to the top of the bluff offers panoramic views of the Cascade Range, the Columbia River, and Mount St. Helens. There are also a couple of chapels on the grounds, a gift shop, and a coffee shop. The Grotto is open to visitors of all faiths.
Pittock Mansion
At nearly the highest point in the West Hills, 1,000 feet above sea level, stands the most impressive mansion in Portland. Once slated to be torn down to make way for new housing, this grand château, built by the founder of Portland's Oregonian newspaper, is fully restored and open to the public. Built in 1914 in a French Renaissance style, the mansion featured many innovations, including a built-in vacuum system and amazing multiple shower heads in the baths. Today it's furnished with 18th- and 19th-century antiques, much as it might have been at the time the Pittocks occupied the building. With an expansive view over the city to the Cascade Range, the lawns surrounding the mansion are a great spot for a picnic. You can also access Forest Park's Wildwood Trail from here.
Homewood Suites by Hilton Vancouver/Portland
Located across the street from the Columbia River, this modern suburban all-suite hotel is a great choice for families. The hotel charges surprisingly reasonable rates for large apartment-like accommodations that include full kitchens. Rates also include not only a large breakfast but afternoon snacks as well (Mon-Thurs). These snacks are substantial enough to pass for dinner if you aren't too hungry. The hotel is right across the street from both a beach-theme restaurant and a brewpub. Across the street, you'll also find a paved riverside path that's great for walking or jogging. The only drawback is that it's a 15- to 20-minute drive to downtown Portland.
The Westin Portland
This is one of the newest business hotels in downtown Portland and is by far the most stylish, combining contemporary styling with original works by regional artists. Guest rooms are set up primarily for business travelers and are among the most attractive and luxurious standard guest rooms in the city. Bathrooms are large and have separate tubs and showers. There are even CD players in all the rooms (plus a few CDs for your listening pleasure). If you'd prefer a room with a little more light, ask for a corner room; if you need extra work space, opt for one of the "guest office" rooms. The hotel's restaurant is plush and stylish (complete with curtained booths), but the food can be inconsistent.
The Lakeshore Inn
Considering that the town of Lake Oswego is Portland's most affluent bedroom community, this motel is quite reasonably priced. It's located right on the shore of the lake, and there's a pool on a deck built right on the water's edge, making this a great place to stay during a summer visit. Rooms have standard motel furnishings but are large and have kitchenettes. There are also one- and two-bedroom suites. The 7-mile drive into downtown Portland is quite pleasant, passing along the Willamette River. There are several restaurants and cafes within walking distance of the motel.
