After spending a night at the Hyatt Centric Downtown Portland (full review here), I moved to join all of my colleagues for the company’s annual conference and stayed at the Hyatt Regency Portland at the Oregon Convention Center. The hotel is directly across from the convention center. You’ll find no closer accommodation if you’re attending a conference there.

Anthony’s Take: The hotel is perfectly located for convention-goers. It has everything you need for a few days stay including a restaurant and bar, a market, fitness center, and comfortable rooms. I wish this hotel had a Regency Club and a pool.

Booking

My company booked me a Standard | King Bed room on a negotiated conference rate (well below Standard Rates). The hotel is a Category 3 property and room redemptions range from 9,000 to 15,000 per night when redeeming World of Hyatt points for a standard room.

Transportation to/from the Hotel

I took an UberX from the Hyatt Centric Downtown Portland to this hotel. The approximately 1.7-mile ride took 8 minutes and cost around $9. When I left the hotel, I went to Portland International Airport (PDX), which cost around $76 for an Uber Premier.

Location

The hotel is located directly across from the Oregon Convention Center. I was also happy to find a Starbucks two blocks away. If not attending a convention, there are hotels that are more convenient for siteseeing.

Check-in

I arrived at the hotel around 3:00 PM. The agent quickly gave me my keys and explained none of the benefits. I wasn’t asked if I needed a late checkout. I inquired about breakfast and was told that Globalist members receive complimentary breakfast in the restaurant located in the lobby.

Hyatt Regency Portland Bar

The lobby is huge and has a spacious bar in the middle.

Overall Impression:

The Hyatt Regency Portland at the Oregon Convention Center was the perfect spot for attending a conference across the street at the convention center. The hotel isn’t as huge as some other Hyatt Regency locations, but has everything you’ll need for either a business or leisure trip.
