From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hotel Vintage Plaza, formerly the Imperial Hotel and informally The Plaza, is a historic hotel building in downtown, Portland, Oregon.
Built in 1894, the hotel is in the Romanesque architectural style. A glass false storefront was removed in a 1980's renovation, revealing the structure's lower level stonework. The hotel's former name appears in the stonework above the Washington Street entrance.[2] It continues on in its role as a hotel today. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[3]
The Hotel Vintage Plaza is now a boutique hotel owned by Kimpton Hotels. Each room is themed after local wineries. It was named one of the "Top 500 Hotels in the World" by Travel and Leisure magazine, and was named "most romantic hotel "by Citysearch Portland.[4]
