Fodor's Expert Review Kimpton RiverPlace Hotel

With textured wall coverings, pillows made of Pendleton wool, and a color palette of slate blue, mustard yellow, and a variety of browns, this Kimpton-operated boutique hotel on the banks of the Willamette River captures the look and feel of the Pacific Northwest. More than a quarter of the guest rooms overlook the water, and bathrobes, coffee and tea, and yoga mats are provided; you can also buy organic and unusual snacks and beverages from the in-room minibar. Off the airy lobby, King Tide Fish & Shell restaurant serves outstanding seafood.
