Located in the restored Multnomah Hotel, which originally opened in 1912, the Embassy Suites has a beautiful large lobby that is a masterpiece of gilded plasterwork, successfully conjuring up the hotel's heyday. The accommodations here are primarily two-room suites, with the exception of a handful of studio suites. In keeping with the historic nature of the hotel, the suites have classically styled furnishings. However, what's much more important is that they give you lots of room to spread out, a rarity in downtown hotels, which tend to have fairly small units. The hotel's Portland Steak and Chophouse is just what its name implies, with a classic dark and woody steakhouse decor and a large bar. There's also a nightly complimentary evening manager's reception.
