The Heathman Hotel & RestaurantBest of IgoUgo

Hotel | "The Heathman Hotel"

This beautiful, historic hotel transports you back in time and surrounds you with luxury at the same time--you'll feel extremely pampered. It's right next to the performing-arts center, and it also has a lovely dining room.

Civic AuditoriumBest of IgoUgo

Attraction

I have enjoyed several plays performed by touring companies at this theater. It is a lovely theater right in downtown Portland, and across the street is a beautiful fountain. My experience has always been a positive one, with first-rate performances.
