Luxurious Day Spa in Your Own Room

Nestled in downtown Portland is an architectural treasure, formerly the building that housed Lipman’s Department Store and then the retailer Frederick and Nelson, this jewel built in 1912 and lovingly renovated, is now the luxurious 5th Avenue Suites Hotel. San Francisco designer Michael Booth took advantage of the original soaring ceilings and picture windows of the lobby and replaced molded plaster and wood in the ceiling to imitate that of the original store.

A unique boutique hotel where nearly all of the rooms are suites, warm colors, stripes, and floral prints adorn the 10-story property’s 550-square-foot rooms. Upholstered chairs, fringed ottomans, and other appointments in the sitting areas will make you feel right at home. The large bathrooms are stocked with every amenity, including samplers of Aveda products.

You’ll enjoy overstuffed chairs, plush bathrobes, 24 hour room service and a fully stocked honor bar. In addition to the classic touches, 5th Avenue Suites is a pet-friendly hotel, and features all of the state of the art technology you will need for business or pleasure, including wireless internet access, two-line speakerphones with voicemail, and a fax machine on request. The entrance features a tall vestibule with a marble mosaic floor that leads to the art-filled lobby, noting work from the Pacific Northwest.

Guests can gather by the fireplace for an early-evening glass of wine or a cup of coffee, and even pick up a paintbrush and try painting on the canvases provided. Centrally located in Portland’s downtown business district, the 5th Avenue Suites Hotel is just a block from Pioneer Square, Pioneer Place Shopping Center and Saks Fifth Avenue, within easy walking distance of Nordstrom and the Portland Center for the Performing Arts.

Adjacent to the hotel, is one of the best restaurants in downtown Portland, Red Star Tavern & Roast House celebrates the diverse flavors and substantial traditions of American regional cuisine. Everything from the Heartland to the Southwest, New England to the deep South, and the Northwest to California-style cooking is brought to our Portland, Oregon restaurant and lovingly presented.

What we love about the 5th Avenue suites, in addition to the gracious staff and host of amenities, is the luxury of their in-room spa treatments. You get all the benefits of a full service day spa in the comfort of your own room. A customized treatment menu is devoted to your skin and senses. Immerse yourself in a pampering treatment exploring the therapeutic properties of Fresh® Sake, Rice, Sugar, Orange Chocolate, and Umbrian Clay. Choose from several facial treatments, massages, and hand and foot treatments.fifth_mid2.jpg

Our suggestion is the decadent Fleurs de Chocolat Hot Stone Massage. The ultimate in relaxation, smooth, polished river rocks are heated and used to massage your body while tempting scents of chocolate and orange in the restorative shea butter elevate the treatment to a new level. If a trip to the spa is what you’re after, head across the street to enjoy the Pure Aveda Salon and Spa.

Rated AAA 4 Diamond, and voted Conde Nast Traveler Gold List 2005, the 5th Avenue Suites will surpass your expectations of luxury.
