Dossier—Portland, Oregon

This summer, Provenance Hotels will open Dossier, a new upscale hotel, in downtown Portland, featuring 205 guestrooms, exceptional service and thoughtfully designed spaces. Guests can expect to be greeted at Dossier by hosts whose job is to realize travelers’ every wish be it nabbing last-minute reservations at a restaurant that doesn’t offer them, planning weekend adventures to the wine country or Mount Hood, or delivering strawberry-honey-balsamic ice cream with black pepper at 3 a.m.

Like all Provenance Hotels, Dossier will feature a deeply integrated art collection. For example, guestrooms will be decorated with iconic images by photographer Slim Aarons. In addition, Dossier will feature Provenance Hotels’ signature pillow menu and spiritual menu, where guests can borrow a religious book, and its celebrated pet program. Restaurant and bar concepts will be announced at a later date.
