Kimpton Hotels (2) - Hotel Monaco or Hotel Vintage Plaza - these are 'fancy' boutique hotels downtown near the Pioneer Courthouse Square.

*This might be a good time to mention that Oregon is a non-smoking state. that is to say that you cannot smoke in bars, hotels, or public places (you can smoke 10 feet out the door, though).

Hip, cool, all night rockin' place to be, and you dont need to sleep at night: Jupiter Hotel

There are also a plethora of hotels near the airport...check out Hotels.com for more info.

Invites are in the mail!

Yes, it only took me 5 months to make another post...imagine if I started to twitter. Anyway, most of the invites are going to be mailed out over the next couple of days, and I'm going to be posting some hotel information for the out-of-towners on this site this week. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or need to plan a Pacific NW getaway while you stay. There are endless possiblities, as the old Portland cliche goes...you are an hour away from the ocean, the mountains, or the desert. -Rex
