CHICAGO—Hyatt Hotels Corp. announced the opening of Hyatt Regency Portland at the Oregon Convention Center, marking Hyatt’s first full-service hotel in the city of Portland, Ore. and the city’s first convention center hotel. Built by a leading Portland-based developer, Mortenson, in partnership with ESG Architects, the hotel is proud to have achieved Gold Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, signifying its focus on energy and efficiencies while utilizing the most modern environmental design. Hyatt Regency Portland at the Oregon Convention Center is dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint to lessen the environmental strain on local and regional communities.
The hotel is in the heart of Portland, just steps from the newly renovated Oregon Convention Center, local sport and concert arena Moda Center, and high-end eateries and breweries in the burgeoning Lloyd neighborhood. Portland’s MAX Light Rail is directly outside the hotel, offering easy transportation to downtown Portland, the quirky Eastside, and Portland International Airport (PDX).

Designed for productivity and peace of mind, each guestroom features stunning city, river or mountains views, modern bathrooms and 65-inch TVs in a multifunctional and interconnected space.

The exclusive Regency Club Lounge invites guests in premium guestrooms and suites to settle into cozy seating and socialize over complimentary drinks and snacks with a stunning skyline view.
The nearby Oregon Convention Center recently completed a $40-million-dollar renovation, featuring updates to its public spaces to improve accessibility throughout the one-million-square-foot facility, as well as a flexible outdoor space for events, and more.
