Located in the heart of
Portland's arts district at 157 High Street, the 289-room and suite Westin
Portland Harborview is the result of an 18-month, $50 million renovation that
transformed a beloved, 1920s era grand dame into the city's most elegant
hotel.
The Westin Portland
Harborview is within easy walking distance of the city's best dining, shopping
and art galleries, as well as the Old Port District. Recently ranked the “fifth
hippest city in the U.S.” by Travel & Leisure magazine readers and the “#1
Foodiest Small Town” by Bon Appetit, Portland is celebrated for its live music
scene, fine dining, independent boutiques and eco-friendly lifestyle.
